what is the robot prog-id

[minamaher20]

I want to capture a running instance of robot structure analysis (specefically the one created by revit "send model to robot analysis") i did some research and i found that revit create an instance of IRobotApplication in the Running Objects Table (ROT) and that i should use :

system.runtime.interopservices.marshal.getactiveobject("Prog-ID")

now the problem is i can't find the prog id for IRobotApplication there is only a CLSID which cannot be used

I Don't Need The Prog-ID It Self I Need A Way To Capture A Running Instance Of ROBOT Application

Just attach to running robot.exe.
Only one robot \ robot .exe should be running in case of using API, otherwise you may get unwanted effects.

Sorry But How To Do That Exactly. i want to retireve an IRobotApplication Interface Object to work with from the running application instance.

This ?

Dim RobApp As RobotApplication
Set RobApp = New RobotApplication

If Not RobApp.Visible Then
    Set RobApp = Nothing
    MsgBox "Open Robot", vbOKOnly, "ERROR"
    Exit Sub
End If

In C#, please ??

            Robot.robApp = new RobotApplication();
            if (Robot.robApp.Visible == 0)
            {

                MessageBox.Show("Open Robot","Error");
                this.Close();
                return;
            }
