How to Skip error messages

[Anonymous]

I am receiving an error message when running a rule:

Error in rule: 

The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

Long story short, this isn't really an error and the rule is running correctly. Is there a command to add to my rule code to not display this error message? I cannot just use something like "on error resume next" because I need this error to occur but I do not want to see the message. Any way to just not display the error message box? Or even to automatically click ok when this error message box appears?

There are a few ways to 'handle' errors, such as using the Try...Catch...End Try block of code around it, or as you mentioned the older method of using 'On Error Resume Next', but if those aren't what you are looking for, there is still another option specifically for this type of situation.  It is a Property of the Inventor Application called 'SilentOperation'.  It has a Boolean (True/False) type of Value.  You can set that to True to avoid dialogs & error messages, then always be sure to set it back to False, when done.  But beware, if your code errors out before it gets to setting it back to False, you may have to set it back using a different rule.

To use it just use this line:

ThisApplication.SilentOperation = True

I actually ended up trying your try catch approach.... worked like a charm! Thank you!
