Run an iLogic rule from a form

[dleesuk]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how I can run an iLogic rule from a form without having the rule button on the form.

I have a form which modifies model properties (Title, Checked by Name, Checked by Date, etc.).

However, when this form is displayed I'd like to run a rule automatically which checks the properties being edited belong to a part or an assembly file. I don't wish to change any properties associated with the drawing as the title block is populated from the model properties.

This is my rule:

'check that the active document is a drawing file
If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DocumentType = kDrawingDocumentObject 
    MessageBox.Show("Please run this rule from a PART or ASSEMBLY file.", "iLogic")
    Exit Sub
End If

I can't see a trigger which would do the job.

This seems like a fairly simple thing to do, but I just cant seem to figure it out.

Any clues??

Thank You

You can open the form from rule

'Do the things before showing the form

'Then

iLogicForm.Show("MyForm")

I said it'd be easy
