By the looks of it you are trying to set up a C# or VB.NET hook using visual studios and are having issues mounting the hook on startup?

If you post this on the official Mastercam forums you may get an answer from CNC Software's SDK team.

I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch in the Template.. I legit had the exact same problem the first time I tried to make a NETHOOK and never again after that.

Yes, as long as the file is in my chooks folder it gives me that error every time even though Mastercam will run the hook from "Run Add-ins". Do you know if there's any video tutorials on Mastercam hooks or are the files on the Mastercam site + forums my only resource?

I don't know of any video tutorials unfortunately there is only the limited existing documention. Did you add the function table? .ft file to your c-hook folder and rename it to the correct project?

Judging by the error message I'd say the dnRES_NAME in the .ft is not set correctly.

 dnRES_NAME should point to the .resx file in the Resources folder as shown below.
 

 

I highly encourage you to create an account on the official Mastercam forums so you'll have access to the NET-Hook documentation.

your function table should be something like this

###############################################################################
# NETHook function table			
###############################################################################
#
# Name		: Parametric_Shapes.ft
# NETHook 	: Parametric_Shapes.DLL
# Date		: 2019-7-14
# Author	: Peter Evans
# Notes		:  ** Update all Parametric_Shapes references with the projects name **
# Language	: C#
#
###############################################################################


######################
# ASSIGN A UNIQUE NAME
######################
APPLICATION "Parametric_Shapes"

######################
# NETHook LOCATION
######################
#
# Update paths below to match your install path and project name.
FUNC_DLL   "CHOOKS\Parametric_Shapes.dll"
RES_DLL    "SAME"
dnRES_NAME "Parametric_Shapes.FunctionTable.Resource"
CATEGORY   "Parametric_Shapes"

##############################################################################
# Public functions here
##############################################################################
#
# The main system entry point defined in NethookMain.cs
FUNCTION NET "Run"
    dnSPNG "Run16"
    dnLPNG "Run24"
    dnTIP  "RunTip"
END_FUNCTION

# EOF

also in visual studios under

function table

assets 

try editing the run16 and run32 images saving and recompiling

then see if you can add a button with the images

Yes sir, that's what it was. Thanks Jeff. I will make an account and see what I can learn there.

Awesome, it's working now. I basically just made it look exactly like yours. Learning new things every day. Thanks for all the help, peter!
