PInvoke with Mastercam DLL


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to develop a NETHook to automate some tasks, but I've realized that NETHook library doesn't include some funcionalities. I've read in the forum that the method to deal with this problem is PInvoke the C++ functions from mi NET app, and I've read some documentation from the Microsoft Developer Network. My query is if, in order to provide a C++ function with a surf_type structure  (defined in the C++ library of Mastercam), I have to create a VB structure with the whole group of attributes to marshal this type of data. Another thing is if in the MCcore.dll there exist the exported functions to use DLLImport with this library. 

Thanks in advance.

Typically, when needing access to a method not exported to the .NET API but is exported to the C-Hook SDK you can create a C-Hook CLR "helper" assembly that you can reference in your .NET project. This is something I don't have a lot of experience with but if you contact our support sdk (sdk at mastercam dot com) mailbox someone should be able to point you in the right direction.
