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
