OnPopulateFileMetadata - which command trigged the event

[stefan.palm]

Would it be possible to, via the OnPopulateFileMetadata event arguments, figure out which command triggered the event?

Thanks

Hi,

Don't know if that is possible.

I will have a look.

I am using the userinputevents to trigger the command name first.

Then I use the populatefilemetadata event....

Maybe this already helps you?

Thanks for quick reply.

I found what i needed --> CommandManager.ActiveCommand.

This info is for Addin development hope its useful even if it's a little bit late.

Public Sub Active()

m_FileUIEvents = m_inventorApplication.FileUIEvents

' replace meventsobj by the inventor 

AddHandler m_inventorApplication.FileUIEvents.OnPopulateFileMetadata, AddressOf m_fileUIEvents_OnPopulateFileMetadata

Public Sub m_fileUIEvents_OnPopulateFileMetadata(ByVal FileMetadataObjects As Inventor.ObjectsEnumerator, ByVal Formulae As String, ByVal Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) Handles m_FileUIEvents.OnPopulateFileMetadata

HandlingCode = HandlingCodeEnum.kEventHandled

MsgBox("Testing 1 2 3")

Dim oMetaData As FileMetadata
If FileMetadataObjects.Count > 0 Then
For Each oMetaData In FileMetadataObjects
'suggest custom name
oMetaData.FileName = "asdk_" & oMetaData.FileName
oMetaData.FileNameOverridden = True

Next oMetaData
'tell Inventor the event is handled
HandlingCode = HandlingCodeEnum.kEventHandled
End If

End Sub
