Batch mode from vb.net

[iscariot]

How can I use CV5 batch mode using vb.net? would this be possible?

 

[MarkAF]

Probably vb.net syntax is a little different, but this is how I did it in Excel VBA, launching from a button on a form:

Private Sub StartCatiaBatch_Click()

Dim CATIA As Object
Set CATIA = CreateObject("Catia.Application")

CATIA.Application.Visible = False

End Sub

I have tried Visible but does not look as batch mode, it is as slow.
More than this, it is funny that I still can see some toolbar flashing

use a command line with -batch to get CATIA in batch mode as explained in the online Doc.

google VB Process.Start

I don't quite get it. If I understood right, with batch mode I could start only a .catscript?
Is it not possible to use the code written in vb.net?

the script from batch could call an exe I guess...
