Listview to iLogic

[Anonymous]

I have been searching for an answer to this and so far I've come up with nothing. I am trying to find out if it's possible to populate a listbox in vb.net and import that date into ilogic. I can create the listbox from the excel file, but from there I'm stumped. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi, first let us sort up some things:

1) By VB.Net you mean an AddIn or standalone application?

2) By iLogic you mean a rule, userform, parameter or iProperty?

You can't pass any parameters to iLogic rules, so if that's the case, you'll have to either use some kind of flag, or move all your code to the rule, VBA makro or an AddIn.

Basically, this is how to create a listbox in iLogic and use it to populate the Part Number:

Dim partNumbers As New ArrayList
partNumbers.Add("A025")
partNumbers.Add("B050")
partNumbers.Add("C075")
iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = InputListBox("Part Number", partNumbers, iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number"), Title := "Part Number", ListName := "Part Number")

Thanks for the reply. Right now I am using a stand alone GUI that I've used to populate a list view from excel cells and now I would like to pass those values to parameters in an Inventor assembly.

Hi,


Here is a blog post how to control parameters with a form inside an iLogic rule.

But if you have an standalone application. Why don't you write directly from the form to the assembly with ordinary API?
