Accessing the Application and UIApplication from IExternalApplication

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to creat parameter when when the ViewActivated event is triggered. I cannot get the pass the Application or UIApplication from the event. I'm getting the Document from e.Document. And I was trying to cast the sender as Application and UIApplication. It will compile and run without issue, but isn't working. I dont have a need to implement IExternalCommand. How can I acomplish this? Thanks.

UIApplication uiapp = new UIApplication(doc.Application);
Application app = uiapp.Application;

The sender of  ViewActivated is indeed the UIApplication, which you probably found by casting to it. What do you mean by "it's not working"?

As for your code snippet, let me try to understand:

- you get the Application from the document

- then you instantiate UIApplication from the Application

- then you get the Application back from the newly instantiated UIApplicaiton

Am I reading it correctly?

Thanks
