The Desktop Authority API is a documented set of functions, variables and supplemental utility programs that allow you to fully harness the capabilities of Desktop Authority through custom scripting.
The Desktop Authority API can be broken down into four categories:
Functions: Wrap many lines of KiXtart code (and supplemental utilities) into a single line of code, for easy insertion into your custom scripts. Many of the Desktop Authority API functions are direct replacements for native KiXtart functions -- and they can overcome the security restrictions of the user logging on.
Dynamic Variables: Globally defined variables in the Desktop Authority engine. These variables are used by the engine itself and can be used in custom scripting.
Utility Programs have been developed to expand upon the built-in functionality of KiXtart. These tools are often wrapped by API Functions eliminating the need to execute them directly.
