Read filename from Autodesk Inventor's internal clipboard

[Rene-J]

I am trying to read Filename from Autodesk Inventor's internal clipboard,
using the CommandManager.PeekPrivateEvent((PrivateEventTypeEnum.kFileNameEvent, ???))
but I don't understand how it works.
What do put in to " Data" ?

I'm still stumped on this. Any help would be appreciated

Why not just use Document.FullFileName? Where Document represents a document object (any document, part assembly, drawing, presentation)

you can also use ...

ThisApplication.FileManager.GetFullFileName(filePathAsString)

this allows you get the name without having to open/store the file as a variable if you are just looking for the name to process real quick.

Sorry
I know how to get the fullfilename from a document.
What I am trying to do, is get the filename before it appears in filesaveasdialog.
If I have understand Inventor behavior. Inventor is using the internal clipboard to send
filename to filesaveasdialog.
examble. If I place a file from the CC flatbar steel, Inventor is generete a filename
I will like to get the filename before I it appears in filesaveasdialog
If I understand the Inventor help, this function will do it.

CommandManager.PeekPrivateEvent((PrivateEventTypeEnum.kFileNameEvent, ???))
