Implementations by Vendor ID </title><shortdesc>The Plug-in framework clients can be restricted to use plug-ins
supplied by a particular company. This enables to enhance security and improve
functionality of the framework. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>
<context><p>Platform security provides a mechanism to mark the plug-ins with
a vendor identifier by using the <codeph>vendorid</codeph> keyword in the <xref href="GUID-641A276D-F618-50CE-BA5A-658DCC26BAB5.dita">project file</xref>. This
information is used for plug-in selection. </p><p>To filter implementations
by vendor id there is no need to use the <codeph>TEComResolverParams</codeph> object.
Instead, follow the steps described below: </p> </context>
