Read txt File During Vault Start Up

[meck]

I am creating a word document whenever a change order changes status to review. So I’ve created a DLL. In the DLL I have a form where the user can set some default parameters for the document that I will create. I save that information out to a .txt file. I am OK with everything so far. My problem is I need to read from the text file whenever Vault is started to get the users set parameters. I tried reading the file during this sub.

Public Sub OnLoad() Implements Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.IWebServiceExtension.OnLoad

Apparently this doesn’t fire during Vault loading because nothing happens?

Is there another way to read the txt file during Vault’s start up?

Do you mean "Vault Explorer" starts up? If yes, have you ever tried to implement IExplorerExtension ? public void OnStartup(IApplication application) { } You can try the vault plugin wizard to create the project more easily. http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2014/01/autodesk-vault-plug-in-wizard-helps-creating-vau...

Hi Mech,

       Use VaultClient Extension instead of using WebService Extension.

       Implement "IExtension" Interface and use "OnStartup" to attain your functionality during Vault Client start up and use "OnLogOn" to attain your functionality when the user in Logging In to Vault Client
