Looking for any help here on this..
The code I have runs great in Native application of NX, but when ran in TeamCenter it errors out.
Quick run down of the code - it allows me to select a component, which then creates an attribute and let's you manually type in the value for that attribute.
With Native it looks like this:
With TeamCenter when I select it's giving me this:
Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this?
My code is provided below:

' The information in this file provides you with the following:
'
' 1. Help on how to load and display your Block UI Styler dialog in NX
' using APIs provided in NXOpen.BlockStyler namespace
' 2. The empty callback methods (stubs) associated with your dialog items
' have also been placed in this file. These empty methods have been
' created simply to start you along with your coding requirements.
' The method name, argument list and possible return values have already

'------------------------------- DIALOG LAUNCHING ---------------------------------
'
' Before invoking this application one needs to open any part/empty part in NX
' because of the behavior of the blocks.
'
' Make sure the dlx file is in one of the following locations:
' 1.) From where NX session is launched
' 2.) $UGII_USER_DIR/application
' 3.) For released applications, using UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE is highly
' recommended. This variable is set to a full directory path to a file
' containing a list of root directories for all custom applications.
' e.g., UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE=$UGII_ROOT_DIR\menus\custom_dirs.dat
'
' You can create the dialog using one of the following way:
'
' 1. Journal Replay
'
' 1) Replay this file through Tool->Journal->Play Menu.
'
' 2. USER EXIT
'
' 1) Create the Shared Library -- Refer "Block UI Styler programmer's guide"
' 2) Invoke the Shared Library through File->Execute->NX Open menu.
