Quick idea to run ilogic rule on view representation change

Anyone got a quick brilliant idea to run a rule every time a view representation is changed??

 

(it's a very complicated assembly with lots of sub-ass'y, iassembly and ilogic part talking to each other and i want to spare the user the need to open different view rep and run the rule for each of them.)

 

Thanx in advance!

HI yvandelafontaine,

 

The one way I can think of, to achieve this, is by using the RepresentationEvents.OnActivateDesignView Event.

 

Below is a sample piece of code that may help you get started.

 

Copy the below code into a code module.

 

Dim oRepCls As cRepEvents ' Create a new cRepEvents object

Sub StartEvents()
    Set oRepCls = New cRepEvents
End Sub
 
Sub StopEvents()
    Set oRepCls = Nothing
End Sub

 

Create a new class module called cRepEvents and copy below code into it, since VB only supports events within a class module

 

Private WithEvents RepEvents As RepresentationEvents
Private Ilogicaddin As Object
 
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set RepEvents = ThisApplication.RepresentationEvents
    Set Ilogicaddin = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById("{3BDD8D79-2179-4B11-8A5A-257B1C0263AC}").Automation ' Get ilogic addin to run the rule
End Sub
 
Private Sub Class_Terminate()
    Set RepEvents = Nothing
End Sub
 
Private Sub RepEvents_OnActivateDesignView(ByVal DocumentObject As Document, ByVal Representation As DesignViewRepresentation, ByVal BeforeOrAfter As EventTimingEnum, ByVal Context As NameValueMap, HandlingCode As HandlingCodeEnum)
    
Ilogicaddin.RunRule DocumentObject, "Rule0" ' The rule name that needs to be executed
End Sub

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Regards,

Sajith

I really am intrigued by this, i have learned ilogic and this is the first time that i am seeing such code that is run in this matter.

Could you please help me in a similar action?

I am trying to run a rule after Visibility Change in the model. Yet there is nothing on the web that will help me learn and understand how to do this. I believe after stumbling on this, that you may be able to help me. 

Looking forward to your comments.

Hi @DeerSpotter,

 

By Visibility change in the model, I assume you mean the below?

So you are looking to execute a ilogic rule whenever a user changes the above options? 

 

Regards,

Sajith
