How to post selected operations

[Ekke]

Hi,

 

another problem: how can I post selected operations?

 

With this code nothing happend:

 

    Public Shared Function PostOp(ByVal ncFilePath As String, ByVal boEdit As Boolean) As Boolean

       Dim opInfos1 As Mastercam.Database.Operation
       Dim flag_OP_Selected As Boolean
       Dim flag_OP_Dirty As Boolean

       Dim OpList() As Mastercam.Database.Operation = SearchManager.GetOperations()
       Dim op As Mastercam.Database.Operation

       For Each op In OpList

           opInfos1 = op

           flag_OP_Selected = opInfos1.Selected
           flag_OP_Dirty = opInfos1.Dirty

           If (flag_OP_Selected And Not flag_OP_Dirty) Then
               PostOp = opInfos1.Post(ncFilePath, boEdit)
           End If
       Next op

   End Function

               PostOp = opInfos1.Post(ncFilePath, boEdit)
           End If
       Next op

   End Function

 

 

Im more of a VB/VBA/VBS guy, so maybe Im misunderstanding the nuances of the .NET booleans ... but it looks like you are checking for the DIRTY status, ("flag_OP_Dirty = opInfos1.Dirty")

and only posting code if the dirty status is NOT what you just checked it to be? ("And Not flag_OP_Dirty")

 

In other words, if the dirty flag comes back as FALSE, you only post code if its TRUE, but if the dirty flag comes back TRUE, you only post if is FALSE ?

Shouldnt the logic be something more like "If (flag_OP_Selected And flag_OP_Dirty = False) Then" ....

Do you really even want to checking the 'dirty' flag ?

Again, Im not sure how things are, internally, with CHooks, but in VBS, I couldnt get information about the Op that would normally be available - if the Op wasnt dirty (and hiding the fact that it wouldnt rebuild normally)

True, you cannot get this level of detail in a VB Script.

But what really is the point of posting some of the operations based on the fact that some are dirty or not?

Are you actually going to use that NC output for anything???

[Ekke]

it's my fault, I like to post only the good one's.

[Ekke]

i must correct me, if you check in vb that

 

Not flag_OP_Dirty

 

it's the same like that

 

 Not flag_OP_Dirty = true 

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

I don't know how useful this is, but it certainly works.

 

I have 3 operations selected, and 1 op (in this case the 2nd op) in the selected ops is "dirty".

Running this NETHook function it will post the 1st non-Dirty operation and then display the NC in the editor.

It will skip the 2nd operation since it is "dirty"

It will post the next non-Dirty (the 3rd op in the selected list) operation and then display the NC in the editor.

 

Yes, it's C# code.

I leave it to you to convert to VB is you must.

 

       /// <summary>
       /// PostSelectedAndNotDirtyOperations
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="NCDestinationPath"></param>
       /// <param name="EditNC"></param>
       /// <returns>The number of operations that where posted</returns>
       private int PostSelectedAndNotDirtyOperations(string NCDestinationPath, bool EditNC)
       {
           int postedOpCount = 0;
           Operation[] selectedOps = SearchManager.GetOperations(true); // Get only 'selected' ops            
           foreach (Operation op in selectedOps)
           {
               if (op.Dirty == false)
               {
                   op.Post(NCDestinationPath, EditNC);
                   postedOpCount++;            
               }              
           }
           return postedOpCount;
       }

Thanks for your help, now I can post the operation.
