Open Quiet

[rocheey1]

MasterCam X7 32-bit, VbExpress 2010,

 

Is there a way to open files "quietly" using the nethook API?

 

Im using the GetOpGroupDataInExternalFile to scan hundreds of existing files for specific Tool/Op data. I love this, its a LOT faster than loading thru the Interface.

When I see a possible candidate, I have to open the file and scan thru it's operations to see if the remaining Op/Tool settings are what I was looking for.

 

But if I open an X6 or older file, I get that series of Dialogs wanting me to upgrade the control file ("The control file being read is from a previous version of Mastercam")

and the user has to, at the very least, close 6 dialog boxes before the Op data can be read, and that would be for every file opened thru the interface.

 

Is there a work-around ? TIA

I would say probably not.

 

EDIT...

So you do not get these warning from GetOpGroupDataInExternalFile, but you get them when you actually "open" file?

Exactly how are you opening the file?

And what version is the file you are opening when you see these messages?

Im opening earlier (X6, X5) files in X7. I get the same messages using ''Mastercam.IO.FileManager.Open(filename)'' as I would manually opening the files. I didnt usually see this when opening, say, X5 files from X6.

Hmmmm....

 

I tried "manually" opening X6 files in X7 and never got that message.
