I deleted the nethook on ftp, and uploaded "view & fit chook.zip". good luck.

Thank you for suggestion. I will look into it later. there is a dynamic zoom feature with shift+control mousemove up/down anyway.

woot, I just called your VBSCript file with reraltive path(not full path). that caused the problem.. sorry. When you open File Dialog and select a file name to save/open, the currect directory path setting is changed. I will fix the problem later.. or should I make a chook in c/c++? it may fix RMB icon problem..

Did you install Platform SDK?

You have to add this line in stdafx.h. code: #include <Uxtheme.h>

The wizard working is not working under Visual Studio 2005 for me.. So I use VS2003 and re-open it with VS2005 for now. however I have to change include paths and add uicontrol.lib etc..

Hey Thad, I changed date/time format for you. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/Ai_bkcolor.zip

Hi I think it is possible. though I dont know the file format of .mask file. I have made selection mask by ascii text file before, but it does not use .mask file. code: /** * Get a visible, unmasked (not excluded by the level mask) entity according * to sel_mask and ent_mask, and optionally color, level or style. If * sel_method is 1, only sel_mask and ent_mask are used. If sel_methodis 2, * sel_mask, ent_mask and color are used. If sel_method is 3, sel_mask, * ent_mask and level are used. If sel_method is 4, sel_mask, ent_mask, and * style are used. * * @param[in] s The selection mask * @param[in,out] ptr The current position in the database * @param[out] found_ptr The pointer to entity * @param[out] entity The entity * @param[in] sel_mask The selection mask * @param[out] succf TRUE if entity found */ DllImpExp void get_ent_univ (sel_mask_type *s, DB_LIST_ENT_PTR *ptr, DB_LIST_ENT_PTR *found_ptr, ent *entity, ushort sel_mask, MC_BOOL *succf);

It may be a bug ?? I tried nethooks by CNC, but the icons also don't show up in RMB.

no, I dont think so. I have no problem with my pc. I compiled nethook that runs your vbscripts. view & fit nethook.zip

I testd INLINE with my nethook. it seems ok for my nethook.

hmm I think it's correct, but I have never tried it with nethooks..

You have to add INLINE in your .ft file. http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...c;f=13;t=000230

use your vb assembly in m_main of chook.. please look around here. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navc...2b%2b+unmanaged

MCFile.GetOperations() function seems calling MCFile.OpenMC() internally. I have not tried following code..but it may work. code: MCFile.SaveMCAs(mcamName,1)' Save cuurent MCFile.NewMC(0) ' Reset Database MCFile.GetOperations(mcamName,array) ' Open File and Read op arraylist... Visual Studio Tool Menu -> IL Dasm, and open nethook.dll for disassembled code. code: bool GetOperations(string PathName, ArrayList arrOps) { if (!OpenMC(PathName)) { return false; } So I added MCFunc.GetOperations()function to MCHook.dll http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/nethook_test4.zip [ 11-05-2006, 12:49 AM: Message edited by: MasterShake ]

It seems nethooks are not supported in post processing. You may have to create c-hook nethook hybrid dll in c++ lang.

hi does your vb.nethook code have "Public Overrides Function Version"? C:McamX2documentationNET-Hook Developer's GuideCode examplesCode examplesNETHookNotifyVBNETHookNotifyVBNETHookNotifyVB.vb code: Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports Mastercam Public Class NETHookNotifyVB Inherits CMCNETApp Public Overrides Function Init(ByVal param As Integer) _ As MC_RETURN MessageBox.Show("Inside Init()") Return MC_RETURN.MC_NOERROR End Function Public Overrides Function Run(ByVal param As Integer) _ As MC_RETURN MessageBox.Show("Inside Run()") Return MC_RETURN.MC_NOERROR End Function Public Overrides Function Close(ByVal param As Integer) _ As MC_RETURN MessageBox.Show("Inside Close()") Return MC_RETURN.MC_NOERROR End Function Public Overrides Function Version(ByVal param As Integer) As Integer MessageBox.Show("Inside Version()") Return MyBase.Version(param) End Function End Class

http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/nethook_test3.zip MCHook.dll is using a code mentioned in this thread. http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...c;f=13;t=000327 I dont have time to check min/max value of nci, and these values are from operation struct. code: Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports Mastercam Imports MCHook Public Class NETHookVB Inherits CMCNETApp Public Overrides Function Run _ (ByVal param As Integer) As MC_RETURN Dim op_idn As ULong op_idn = 1 MessageBox.Show("op_get_stk_remain: " & MCFunc.op_get_stk_remain(op_idn).ToString) MessageBox.Show("op_get_stock_t_l: " & MCFunc.op_get_stock_t_l(op_idn).ToString) MessageBox.Show("op_get_top_stock: " & MCFunc.op_get_top_stock(op_idn).ToString) MessageBox.Show("op_get_depth: " & MCFunc.op_get_depth(op_idn).ToString) Return MC_RETURN.MC_NOERROR End Function End Class And I also checked GetNCIMinZ(), it seems that GetNCIMinZ() returns Minimum Z depth value from whole nci data in the current database.( just a guess) to get "Cycle Time", you have to read nci and calculate the time.

OK http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/select_ent_test.zip

which version of mastercam do you use? (I have to sleep now anyway. 2:22AM ...

I lose in a second.

hi File Open - file type = ASCII will import points/lines/spline in a text format. what your text looks like? ex) -1.641393,26.59057,0 -13.62356,30.36577,0 -33.32028,16.41393,0 -35.28995,-0.9848358,0

Hi I made this for you. http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/nethook_test2.zip I dont have enough knowledge of VB/VBScript, so I coded a assembly in C#. VB code imports my c# assembly code: Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports Mastercam Imports MCHook Public Class NETHookVB Inherits CMCNETApp Public Overrides Function Run _ (ByVal param As Integer) As MC_RETURN Dim op_idn As ULong op_idn = 1 MessageBox.Show("op_get_stk_remain: " & MCFunc.op_get_stk_remain(op_idn).ToString) Return MC_RETURN.MC_NOERROR End Function End Class op_idn is Operation's id number. and MCFunc.op_get_stk_remain(op_idn) fucntion will return stk_remain(Stock to leave) value. HTH

I dont know, I tried select_ent and I can select the same point multiple times. if you mean you want multiple point entities at once, try select_ents (). and if what you need is to select only points, point_proc() function will also do point selection. just a thought.

Hi Roger, I see what you say, I also tried AssemblyBuilder and came to the qestion "how I can embed resources??...". and did google searchs and searchs for tutorials/articles numbers of times until I found System.CodeDom.Compiler. I spend 2 days of a weekend for making that .anyway.. and I thought I couldn't write a code without google!
