HI Guys!
I just realized now, that after many C-Hook and NET-Hook, I always made a straight forward runoffs without any interactivity between Mastercam and my app.
They always run in one direction: Set all stuff -> User input -> Draw and/or Draw -> Import OPs
Now I working on a project, which asks for geometry from user and after selection it needs to be to return to my Windows Form.
What I would to do (and I did halfway) after pushing a button on my Form it should be minimize/hide, then Mastercam ask for a geo then return
to my Form (maximize to original size or unhide).
Code for Selecting a geo and for button is OK, no problem with that. But when I push the button, Mastercam ask for a geo but I can not to select any
because my Form remains and not allow me to select anything in MCAM.
I found many possible solution for this issue, but which is the best and safe practice?
Thank you for any input!
Visual Basic, VS Express 2013, MCAM X7, NET_Hook3_0
Private Sub LineSelect_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LineSelect.Click
Dim GeoMask As GeometryMask = New GeometryMask(False)
GeoMask.Lines = True
Dim SelectedGeo As Mastercam.Database.Geometry = SelectionManager.AskForGeometry("Select one line", GeoMask)
End Sub
