Call nethook from nethook

[Hulkle]

Hey All,

 

Is it possible to call another nethook from within the nethook I am writing, then wait for the one I call to finish, then proceed with mine?

[Hulkle]

Any takers on this question?

No, you cannot "chain" NETHook calls.

Your "other" NETHook DLL is a .NET Assembly so why not just utilize it directly from your "original" NETHook ?

It is mastercams ATP nethook that I want to call then when its finished I want to do some moving around and cleanup of some files. I only have the DLLs for the ATP nethook. Can I use the DLLs to gain access to it. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm new to programming with C#.

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

The XATP.DLL is a .NET Assembly, so you should be able to access it's functionality from another .NET Assembly

*As long as what you're after is "exposed",

In your NETHook project add a reference to the XATP.DLL, just like you do with the NETHook2_0.DLL

and now in your Project you'll have access to what's in the XATP namespace

To see what's in there, right-click on XATP (under References in in Solution Explorer) and select 'View in Object Browser'.

That worked awsome. Thanks for your help I got what I needed.
