How to retrieve the NCI and NC file pathname?

[sigmawave]

I am trying to develop the dll to replace the MP.dll.

Before I call my own dll, I should get the NCI file and NC file paths and names. So they can be transfered to my dll as parameters.

 

The following is my codes:

 

 

code:

---

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int PostMain(int prm)

{

CString ncifile;

LPTSTR nciPath, nciName, nciExt;

long op_idn;

CString tStr;

ncifile = NCIFileStr(op_idn, nciPath, nciName, nciExt);

tStr.Format("%s%d", "op_idn: ", op_idn);

AfxMessageBox(tStr);

tStr.Format("%s%s", "nciPath: ", nciPath);

AfxMessageBox(tStr);

tStr.Format("%s%s", "nciName: ", nciName);

AfxMessageBox(tStr);

return m_main(prm);

}

---

Note: The above code is only for this issue, it's a section of my CHook, NOT the entire code.

 

Certainly, I included the "machinedeffilesandpaths_ch.h" and changed the "Post executable" from MP.dll to my compiled dll.

After I clicked "G1", selected the ouput NCI file and NC file. the message dialogs poped up.

 

But I can't get the NCI and NC information.

 

Please help me to fix this issue.

 

By the way, anybody can tell me where can I find some CHOOK developing documentations. I have the Mastercam V9 MP Post Reference Guide. But there is a big difference between V9 and X development.

I can not follow the previous way to develop programs with X and X2.

With the Mastercam X2 sdk, there is a help file named "CHookSDK.chm" . It is only a function and variable list without any example demos.

Where can I find some demo codes?

 

Thank in advance!

I think you need these...

code:

---

AfxMessageBox(op.cmn.nci_name);

AfxMessageBox(post_args[2]);

---

Still you don't have the nci output as a text file.

You have to use the postOps funtion or the nci_manager function..

By the way, anybody...

I have the Mastercam V9 SDK document only, it has some demo codes..

but the X sdk header files are well commented, so it is good to code a chook.

 

 

X3?

The Mastercam APIs are undergoing drastic changes for the Mastercam X3 release later this year.

It is the first time to develop C Hook with Mastercam. I am trying to get the general rule of the CHook programming. If I have any question I can not get the answer easily.

 

It doesn't like CATIA. Even CATIA automation help document is not well maintained. I can search on the web to get helpful information easily.

 

I am not complaining, I just feel it is difficult to start with Mastercam programming.

 

Whatever, Thanks a lot for your information. I will try that.

Even I still have many other problems, I am happy with this.
