The new interface layer is called the Component Enabler Windows Application Programmatic Interface (CEWindowsAPI.)

This new interface layer allows the client programmer to use the a single interface to access either the Java, or .NET Framework versions of the Component Enabler runtime environment. Choosing which runtime environment to use is as simple as changing which constructor is called. For a list of these, refer to Converting to the

CEWindowsAPIJavaStyle interface under Custom Clients. All other calls are the same, regardless of the runtime environment in use.

The new interface has been changed to confirm to .NET naming conventions and practices. This means that method names now begin with upper-case characters, and that many items are now accessed as “properties” of a class, rather than being accessed through get or set method calls.
