I try to open a Form that i create in the OnSaveDocument Event. I tested the Event with some MessageBox, they show up succesfully.
The Problem, My Form does not show on Screen.
Private Sub m_appEvents_OnSaveDocument(ByVal DocumentObject As Inventor.Document, ByVal BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum, ByVal Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) _
Handles m_appEvents.OnSaveDocument
If BeforeOrAfter = EventTimingEnum.kBefore Then
If DocumentObject.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Or DocumentObject.DocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then
CheckCustomiProperty(DocumentObject, "Name englisch", "")
CheckCustomiProperty(DocumentObject, "BENKEY", "")
Dim oUDProps As PropertySet
oUDProps = DocumentObject.PropertySets.Item(4)
Dim oProps As PropertySet
oProps = DocumentObject.PropertySets.Item(3)
If oUDProps.Item("Name englisch").Value = ""
MsgBox(oUDProps.Item("Name englisch").Value)
MsgBox(oUDProps.Item("BENKEY").Value)
MsgBox(oProps.Item(2).Value)
MyForm.Show()
MyForm.TopMost = True
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
The Important Part is:
'WORKS
MsgBox(oUDProps.Item("Name englisch").Value)
MsgBox(oUDProps.Item("BENKEY").Value)
MsgBox(oProps.Item(2).Value)
'DONT WORK
MyForm.Show()
MyForm.TopMost = TrueThank you for your help, is it possible to show the Dialog ?
Best Regards Mathias

I think you need to make Inventor the parent for your form.
Will you please look into this discussion:

Here is the source text of WindowWrapper class provided by Josh_Petitt
''' <summary>
''' Used to wrap a Win32 hWnd as a .Net IWind32Window class.
''' This is primarily used for parenting a dialog to the Inventor window.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks>
''' For example:
''' myForm.Show(New WindowWrapper(m_inventorApplication.MainFrameHWND) )
''' </remarks>
Public Class WindowWrapper
Implements System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window
Public Sub New(ByVal handle As IntPtr)
_hwnd = handle
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property Handle() As IntPtr _
Implements System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window.Handle
Get
Return _hwnd
End Get
End Property
Private _hwnd As IntPtr
End Class
