Topic: Run Code Upon Opening Document

[patrickcraig31]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to run code using the event of opening a document? I would like to load the cuix file every time a document is opened.

Several methods as alluded to above

You didn't say what language so I'll provide VB.Net

First you need to capture the document collection. To make use of the existing events, simply declare the variable WithEvents like so (public or private as the case warrants) You will need to make it a global variable within your class(s)

Code - vb.net: [Select]

1. Private WithEvents docManager = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentCollection

Now you can capture document events like this:

Code - vb.net: [Select]

1. Private Sub docManager_DocumentActivated(sender as Object, e As DocumentCollectionEventArgs) Handles docManager.DocumentActivated
2.    'DoStuffHere
3. End Sub
4.  
5. Private Sub docManager_DocumentCreated(sender as Object, e As DocumentCollectionEventArgs) Handles docManager.DocumentCreated
6.    'DoStuffHere
7. End Sub

You can also use the PerDocData attribute
