event handlers in CATIA API

[josephv]

Hello,

Is there any API that would allow us to assign subroutines in a VB.net 3rd party applications as handlers of events happening in the CATIA application (e.g. when the selected object is changed)? Is there a way to get notification that the object selected by the user has changed (e.g. the user selects an edge and then selects a different edge)?

Thanking you in advance,

Joseph

No there are no events in the automation API, this would make it much to useful to be free. For events you require one of the CAA RADE products which are seperatly licensed.

Thank you PeterGuy, you are correct, we contacted our reseller and we would need one of the CAA RADE prducts for event handlers.

So for now, it looks like we will use SelectElement4 which waits for the user to select something (e.g. edge, line, vertex etc.).


Best regards,

Joseph
