## Introduction

|
|
|
The `IKeyman` interface is the top-level interface for the Keyman Engine

|
for Windows API. The `IKeyman` interface can be instantiated with the
|
|
`CoKeyman` coclass; it will also be returned from a call to
|
|
`CreateObject("kmcomapi.Keyman")`.

## Examples
|
|
|
|
### VBScript
|
|
|
|
This example can be saved with a .vbs extension to run through Windows
|
|
Scripting. This is similar to the uninstall script that Keyman for Windows
|
|
generates for packages which have a Start Menu Uninstall entry.
|
|
|
|
``` basic
|
|
dim kmcom, package
|
|
Set kmcom = CreateObject("keymanapi.Keyman")
|
|
n = kmcom.Packages.IndexOf("SamplePackage")
|
|
if n >= 0 then
|
|
Set package = kmcom.Packages(n)
|
|
if msgbox("Uninstall package "+package.Description+"?", vbOKCancel, "Keyman for Windows") = vbOK then
|
|
package.Uninstall(True)
|
|
end if
|
|
else
|
|
msgbox "The package SamplePackage could not be found."
|
|
end if
|
|
```
