ClientView IDW

[NachitoMax]

Hi

I managed to get this working in a previous application but the identical code does not work.... I get an error

Exception thrown: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' in mscorlib.dll

on this line

m_PopoView.Update(False)

Here is my full code

    Private Sub LoadImage()
        Dim sSheet As Integer = 0

        m_oDrawingDocument = m_oServer.Open(s)

        m_PopoView = m_oDrawingDocument.Sheets.Item(1).ClientViews.Add(PictureBox1.Handle.ToInt32())


        m_PopoCamera = m_PopoView.Camera
        m_PopoCamera.Perspective = False

        m_PopoCamera.Fit()
        m_PopoCamera.Apply()
        m_PopoView.Update(False)

        Try
            m_oDrawingDocument.Close()
            m_oDrawingDocument = Nothing
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
    End Sub

and here a version I found from Sanjay that also doesn't work....

    Dim oSvr As InventorApprentice.ApprenticeServerComponent
    Dim oAppDoc As InventorApprentice.ApprenticeServerDrawingDocument
    Dim oClientView As InventorApprentice.ClientView

    Private Sub Form_Load()
        Dim filename As String = "I:\2017\Z Templates\company\company - Drawing Sheet.idw"

        oSvr = New Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent
        oAppDoc = oSvr.Open(filename)

        Dim oSheet As Inventor.Sheet
        oSheet = oAppDoc.Sheets.Item(1)

        oClientView = oSheet.ClientViews.Add(PictureBox1.Handle.ToInt32())
    End Sub

    Private Sub loadimage()
        Dim oCamera As InventorApprentice.Camera
        oCamera = oClientView.Camera
        oCamera.Fit()
        oCamera.Perspective = False
        oCamera.Apply()
        Me.Refresh()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form_Paint()
        oClientView.Update(False)
    End Sub

Any ideas what might cause the issue and how I can rectify it?

cheers

Well....

No matter what apprentice method I use, I get the exact same error. furthermore, an earlier separate application that did work just fine in 2017 no longer works. All of the samples (including my live application) error on this line

and the error is

Exception thrown: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' in mscorlib.dll

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

I have tried everything from threading to using the inventor viewer all of which return the same error.

So,

is this an error in Inventor? Are there some additional files that are required? I have copied over the following files over to the 2017 folder

adskassetapi_new-5.2.dll

adskassetapi_new-15.dll

libeay32_Ad_1.dll

ssleay32_Ad_1.dll

the project is currently x86 platform

I will obviously need to get this fixed in my existing application too... Anyone else had experience with this and managed to fix it?

Cheers

Hi, Sorry to reply to an old topic, but did you ever find a solution to this?
