Is there an "on selecting document" command?

[Anonymous]

Ie. is it possible to detect when a new document is selected or loaded?
This would allow for the type of document tested, (ie. part, assembly,
drawing, etc.) so that appropriate "tools" can be made available.

Thanks,

Sounds like you need one or more of the Events such as OnActivate or onFileOpen.

Thanks Kent,

Looks like these are exactly what I was looking for. Do you know of any
examples that use these? It seems like most subs first check that a
document is of the correct "type" before a routine can continue, (probably
because they are stand alone samples). Has anyone used the "on select
document" to "allow" which tools and buttons are available for each type of
document? If so, does this approach work?

On 4-14-03 Brian Ekins posted a example of the OnAssemblyChange event with a subject
"OnAssemblyChanged Event Sample" Shouldn't be much difference in setting up the other
events I wouldn't think.

Doesn't the standard toolbar customization allow what you want already though? Right
click in a toolbar and choose Customize. Then in the first tab set up what toolbars are
shown in the various Environments.

Kent,

I have been so busy trying to get the different "tools" to work, I haven't
thought much about adding my tools to the standard toolbars. So, far all I
have is a little VB form that floats around with lots of buttons on it. I
was thinking of "graying out" the buttons as would be appropriate. Is there
much of an advantage to place "tools" into the standard toolbar?

Kent,

Which news group is this on. I tried this one and can't seem to find the
entry. I searched for the date, the person and the topic.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed -

I had a hard time finding it also! Brian posted under the name of
"Autodesk" which is why a search by his name didn't show up the
file. It is in Customer Files with the information as below.


Topic: OnAssemblyChanged Event Sample Message: 1 of 1

From: Autodesk\
Date: Apr/14/03 - 21:23 (GMT)
Sample for Inventor's API OnAssemblyChanged event.

Well if Kent or I would be more specific, it would help you a lot
<--a grin Kent!

It is in the general Customer Files, not in the new one
specifically for Inventor.

CUSTOMER-FILES
Customer Files (CF) is an area for upload of problem files for
review or sharing. Users are asked to zip any files prior to
uploading to conserve download time and server space.

For NNTP newsgroup readers the Customer-files newsgroup can be

Thanks for you help, I finally found it. But, I am a bit confused, (nothing
unusual about that). I would like to be able to detect when a document
inside of Inventor is changed. I had a program running, which of course
checked if there was an assembly open and all worked fine. However, I
closed the assembly, and happened to see what would happen if I tried the
program again and the result is an error, (actually there was no Inventor
document open but Inventor was still running and my macro was still
running)..

It seems like the best way to prevent this is to have a "master routine"
which detects what the active document type is and to disable or enable
buttons accordingly. This could actually be pretty clean. Another
potential situation is to open a part file while in an assembly.

Thanks,

EdT
