In SIS the glcore32.dll is replaced by the Cadcorp.SIS.GisLink.dll. The dll is available with SIS in the install directory and must be copied into either the Systems32 or the SysWOW64 directory (dependent on the Windows OS version).
In SIS GisLinks will have restricted access to methods and properties (e.g. variant type properties cannot be used).
Other applications can only access the Map Window Control and its context menu via GisLink. Access to the Ribbon Control or other Control Bars is not possible.
