IOTAModuleCreator

Description

IOTAModuleCreator is an interface for creating a module.

Write a class that implements IOTAModuleCreator (and its parent interface, IOTACreator), and use an instance of your creator class to create modules. The modules can open existing files, create new files, or even simulate files using a virtual file system.

The module creator can create the default unit or form, just as though the user selected File | New Unit or File | New Form from the menu bar, or you can write the creator so it supplies custom file contents, file names, and more.
