How to open last saved DWG?

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I want to open last saved DWG. Has anybody idea how to do this in ObjectARX?
My decision: 1. I decide to create an Registry key for the name of the last saves DWG and fill this key when SAVE, SAVEAS command ended. 2. My problem is how to open this drawing in VC++. I use readDWGFile, but I can't visualise it into AutoCAD.
Thanks in advance.

Daniela,

1. Use the registry (preferable a key inside your
application registry entry);

2. Use the
acDocManager->appContextOpenDocument() function passing in the full file
name;

According to ARX documentation you must be in
Application Context to use this.

Regards,

Fernando.

Thanks, Fernando.
Here is the decision:
void openInAppContex(void *pData)
{
if (acDocManager->isApplicationContext())
acDocManager->appContextOpenDocument(
(const char *)pData);
}
void openCompletely(const CString& strFileName)
{
AcApDocument* pDoc = acDocManager->curDocument();
if (!strFileName.IsEmpty() && pDoc)
acDocManager->executeInApplicationContext(
openInAppContex, (void *)(LPCTSTR)strFileName);
}

Daniela.
