Unhandled Exception while setting the Minitoolbar.Position Property

[Frederik_Mussler]

Hi,

i have a really strange problem, because this code works at some pc's and on some not.

I'm using Inventor 2013 SP 1.1 with Update 2 on Windows 7 64-Bit. All Windows and .NET Updates installed.

Option Explicit On

Imports Inventor

Public Class Form1

    Dim oApp As Inventor.Application
    Private WithEvents m_miniToolbar As MiniToolbar

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        oApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Inventor.Application")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        m_miniToolbar = oApp.CommandManager.CreateMiniToolbar
        Dim controls As MiniToolbarControls
        controls = m_miniToolbar.Controls
        controls.AddButton("MyButton1", "Winkel", "This is button 1")
        Dim m_p As Inventor.Point2d = oApp.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d(20, 100)
        m_miniToolbar.Position = m_p
        m_miniToolbar.Visible = True
    End Sub

End Class

The exeption is thrown at the line "m_miniToolbar.Position = m_p"

I'm sorry, i can just provide the german error message, but here is my translation:

An unhandled exception of the type "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException" in mscorlib.dll has occured.
Additional Information: Unspecified error (Exception HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

See the screenshot in the attachments

Hi,

Do you have the same installations (same version of Inventor, Visual Studio, etc.) also on machines on which you can reproduce this issue? Is this issue dataset specific? Do you get the same result with/without Inventor addins loaded?

I am asking because I was not able to reproduce it so far...

Thanks,

Jan
