Using the Inventor AddIn wizard for Visual Studio should make this process
easy. If you have the wizard installed (if you have not, it is under
Inventor 9\SDK\Tools\Wizards), then you can implement event sinks easily.
From the wizard's toolbar, which you will get after its installation, will
have a button "ATL", select this, then "Inventor" category and "Inventor
Event Objects", then press "Next". In the next frame, select the "Inventor
Events" tab, choose the "BrowserPanesSink", in the "Names" tab provide a
name for your sink, then press "OK". This should implement the event sink,
all you have to do is connect the sink and source (using DispEventAdvise,
remember to do DispEventUnadvise when it is the right time to disconnect the
sink from the source). In your case, since the event is accessible from the
document object, you would probably have to implement the
ApplicationEventsSink also, and in the ActivateDocument event method, hook
up the BrowserPanesEvents sink and in the DeactivateDocument, un-hook.
I have posted a template here ( in the autodesk.inventor.customer-files

If anyone has any guidance on this I would appreciate it.
