Nice ;)
only one Question, If you say it's not possibly i can go home
(but please don'tsay it):
Have I really to use XCAFApp_Application ?
1. I have read a Stepfiel in myTDocStd_Document.
2. I created the myXCAFPrs_AISObjects from TDF_Labels (part of myTDocStd_Document).
3. I shown the colorized Shapes (XCAFPrs_AISObjects) witouht any problem with help of command:
myAIS_InteractiveContext->Display(myXCAFPrs_AISObjects)
4. I add a new TDF_Label with new Shape to the myTDocStd_Document.
5. I dont see any color !!!!
6. I take a original Shape from myXCAFPrs_AISObjects and transfered es. I dont see any color !!!!

Ok,
I will go home anyway

Thank#s for the article.
I have seen a way to shown the colors.
But I have not seen connection between XCAFPrs_AISObject and TPrsStd_AISViewer.. TPrsStd_AISPresentation.
I able able to show XCAFPrs_AISObject in V3d_View with colors without TPrsStd_AISPresentation...
aXCAFPrs_AISObject = new XCAFPrs_AISObject(aTDF_Label);
aV3d_View->Display(aXCAFPrs_AISObject);
What the different ???

TPrsStd_AISPresentation is a convenience class that helps manage transactions (undo/redo) and persistence, managing basic elements of AIS_InteractiveObject such as material, width, etc. It operates with a driver (TPrsStd_Driver descendant) which can construct an AIS_InteractiveObject descendant.
I believe they can be easily omitted if you manage your interactive contexts on your own.
