Thank you @marcin_otręba 

 

I got it working.

  • Step one is to declare the Userform as a Public new form to the StandardAddInServer:
Public Class StandardAddInServer
        Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer

        ' Inventor application object.
        Private m_inventorApplication As Inventor.Application
        Private m_ClientID As String
        Public m_Form As StartFormulier
  •  Then on the document event I am the first time adding the userform to the DockableWindow:
            Private Sub m_AppEvents_OnActivateDocument(ByVal DocumentObject As Inventor._Document,
                                                        ByVal BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum,
                                                         ByVal Context As Inventor.NameValueMap,
                                                        ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) Handles m_AppEvents.OnActivateDocument
                If BeforeOrAfter = EventTimingEnum.kAfter Then
                    m_Form.Show()
                    Dim docw As DockableWindow
                    Try
                        docw = m_inventorApplication.UserInterfaceManager.DockableWindows.Add("1234xyz", "1234yyz", "My Dockabel Window")
                        docw.AddChild(m_Form.Handle.ToInt64)
                    
                    Catch ex As Exception
    
                    End Try

    m_Form.Text = DocumentObject.DisplayName
    m_form.....Etc Etc
    Now I am able to access the m_form as I need.
    The form is used to display and edit the Company mandatory I-properties.

 

Any better suggestions from your side to accomplish this?
