Any way to view all files in a directory?

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Updated once again, added an option to set a 1-60 second delay between files.

I'm having a problem with setting up the NETHook.

I have the .ftp file in the CHooks folder and added a FileBrowse folder in that same folder.

The FileBrowse.dll is in that folder. When I create a button on my toolbar and click on it I get this message:

Application CHOOKSFILEBROWSEFILEBROWSE.DLL not found.

 

I am running W2K Professional

Thanks for your help.

Very nice Mick! I don't think this is something anyone used every single day in v9 but it sure worked nice when you needed it. I know I missed it.

 

 

I think the root problem with the original post is that he has folders of updated file, that were updated with X not X2, am I correct Davidsv? The update folder in X2 creates the bitmap for the preview, in X I don't believe it did this. So many people have folders full of files with no bitmaps. The only way to now get those bitmaps is to open each file individually and then save the file. As a solution can you add a "re-save" feature that would save each file and in turn create the bitmap so the preview will work in the future for all of the files?

 

 

Thank you!

Denny,

 

I have the NETHook in my "C:McamX2-MR2chooksFileBrowse" folder and the ft file in my "C:McamX2-MR2chooks" and it runs as expected, can you double check to make sure everything is as it should be with your installation.

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Updated NETHook to include an option to save files as MCX with a bitmap to enable the file preview functionality.

Mick

c:mcamxchooksfilebrowse has the .dll file

c:mcamxchooks has the .ft

 

I am running MX2.

I think Roger got why I was having a problem. I did my original file updates to MCX files in MCX and it didn't save a bit map of the file. If the new utility will just open and save as an X2 file with a bitmap, that would be even better.

 

I just installed it, but I am not sure how it is suppose to work. Am I suppose to click the dll file when I go to run a user app? If so, why not have it in the directory with all of the other chooks?

I just added that as an option when browsing, you can set a delay of zero and it will just blow right through the folder.

 

To run it, go to Settings menu then Customize menu, from the Category dropdown select NETHooks, you will see some buttons, one is for this NETHook, hover your mouse cursor over each button to see the name of the NETHook, once you find the FileBrowse just darg it to a toolbar. You can now run the NETHook from that toolbar button.

 

 

Denny,

Paths look fine. I would download the update and copy both files to their appropriate folders and give it another try. Try making a toolbar button as described above and launch it from there.

I extracted the updates to the proper folders and added a toolbar button. (when the arrow points to the icon that has the big 'M ', there is no discription)

The button is on the toolbar and when I click it I get the same .NET Library Error

Application chooksfilebrowsefilebrowse.dll not found.

 

Thanks for the help

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Denny, this NETHook was built with X2 MR1, what version of X are you using?

[Roger Peterson]

Mick, one more thing...

 

 

Your avatar is freaking me out.

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Denny, one other thing, try and run the NETHook ,directly, press ALT+C to bring up the CHooks dialog, browse to the FileBrowse.DLL and select it, does it run?

[Roger Peterson]

How do you turn on the file save function? Just set the delay to zero? Can you add some text that lets people know that is what is happening?

 

Thank you,

[Denny Jacobs]

Mick

Getting closer. That gets it running, but when I plug in a folder to browse I get this.

 

Unhandled Exception has occured....

Method not found: 'Boolean Mastercam 10. File Manager.saveas

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Roger,

 

Check the checkbox 'Save bitmap to file' to enable it. There is a brief readme.txt included in the zip.

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Denny, sounds like you are not using X2 MR1? What version of X are you currently using?

[Denny Jacobs]

Mick

Version 0.17.1.235

[Mick from CNC Software Inc.]

Denny,

Not sure what that is, from Mastercam select Help, About, then click the details button on the dialog, copy and past the text here, thanks.

[Denny Jacobs]

Mastercam.exe=X2 (11.0.3.25)

Best Regards

Denny

[Roger Peterson]

Mick, I just downloaded again to make sure I had the latest. I do not get a save bitmap checkbox.

[Steve Hattori]

Thank You Mick. Very handy!

[Denny Jacobs]

Mick

I'll try to upgrade to MR1 and try again.

Thanks for the help

Where can I find the .bmp file that is created by any of these methods? Or is that not possible?

You won't have a seperate .bmp file when using this. The .bmp is stored within the MCX file, just like you had checked the "save bitmap" option in your save settings. You can either right click and check the properties (Preview option) of the MCX file in Explorer, or when you File-Open in MC, you can see a preview there.

Does anyone have a way to filebrowse in X6 or newer versions. This was always a great add on.
