Replace "File-New" & "File-Open" using a Visual Basic.Net "Addin"

[isocam]

Can anybody help?

Is it possible to replace Inventors "File-New" & "File-Open" using a Visual Basic.Net "Addin"?

I want to be able to run my own exe files that would be displayed instead of Inventors New & Open dialog boxes.

I have already created an "Addin" that replaces the "Save" command.

Any help would be grateful!

Many thanks in advance!!!!

There are two events supported on the FileUIEvents object that were designed specifically for this.  They are the OnFileNewDialog and OnFileOpenDialog.  These events are fired anytime the New or Open dialog is about to be displayed.  You can handle the event by getting the information needed (typically through your own dialog) and provide it to Inventor through arguments on the event.  Inventor will use this data and continue with the New or Open process and bypass showing the Inventor dialog.

Brian,

I am working with Kent Keller on this problem, If possible, can you post a sample VB.net function to achieve "OnFileNewDialog" and "OnFileOpenDialog"

This is so that Kent can add the functions to his existing "Addin" for inventor
