Standalone development for ArchiCAD

[Anonymous]

I need to write a file(s) converter to ArchiCAD.
The requirement is to integrate the converter inside stand alone application frame (Windows application).
ArchiCAD is installed on this machine.

Is there a toolkit / way for developing outside ArchiCAD.
Maybe via COM/ActiveX?

Thanks
