How to create Add-in with icon and in a specific position of UI in C#

[Anonymous]

Hello , I am new to inventor, and am unable to get a suitable study material for creating add-in for inventor, that add-in should have an icon and should be positioned at a specific location of the UI panel of Inventor, and Add-in should perform the listing of occurrences of current assembly.

thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

You need the TargetcontrolName and than use Before or after true or false to place it before that control.

I have tried and succeeded in placing the add-in tool tab of UI, I was also expecting some initiation code for listing down the occurrences of current assembly and pasting it in new folder in C#.

thank you.

Solved for so far than?

What do you mean with the second question?

Thanks for your response,

as I am unfamiliar with Autodesk queries, I have put my complete question below the heading about creating an Addin for listing down the occurrence of current assembly.

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

In inventor there is a programming help file available that will help you a lot I think.

I have been going through it a lot, but the issue is the codes are in VB.net not in C#.

thanks again, need some sample Add-in examples in C# so as to get familiar with Inventor's API programing, 

thanks and regards.

I don't know why but the most help files are based on either Vba or Vb.net, maybe it has to do because of the learning curve of Vba and Vb.net!

Why don't you start programming in Vb.net too?
