Hello everybody.

I have created an addin that should be activated by a push of a button on the data card. This addin writes values in variable fields.

Therefore I use the function "poCmdMgr.AddHook (EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_CardButton);"

In debug mode everything is going well if I have a file selected but if I do start a search, I get the following error message "0x080004003 - an invalid pointer was supplied to the method"

Here the code I have created

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using EdmLib;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace CardButtonControl
{
    public class CardButton : IEdmAddIn5
    {
        public void GetAddInInfo(ref EdmAddInInfo poInfo, IEdmVault5 poVault, IEdmCmdMgr5 poCmdMgr)

            poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 14;
            poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 3;

            poCmdMgr.AddHook(EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_CardButton);

            }

            catch (COMException exp)
            {
                string errorName, errorDesc;
                vault.GetErrorString(exp.ErrorCode, out errorName, out errorDesc);
                vault.MsgBox(0, errorDesc, EdmMBoxType.EdmMbt_OKOnly, errorName);
            }

        }

    }

}

What am I doing wrong??

Any help would bo great!

Correct Answer

You're still not checking for the string the button on the datacard contains.

When you click search, poCmd.mbsComment contains "OK". It's not null or empty.

See the reply in context

A card button hook will get called on pressing search, enter, and cancel. You need to specifically check that it's your button being pressed. You should set a string for the button command in the card editor, and then check that string in code.

if (poCmd.mbsComment == "MyCommandString")
{
 //dowork
}

Have a look at this topic in the help file. Note the setup of the datacard and source. You're also not checking to make sure it's a card button that's being called.

if (poCmd.meCmdType == EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_CardButton)

Hi Mario,

What line is causing the exception?

You also do not need to create a vault instance and login in the add-in but get the instance from the poCmd.

IEdmVault5 vault = new EdmVault5() as IEdmVault5;
vault.LoginAuto("hegenscheidt", 0);

IEdmVault5 vault = poCmd.mpoVault as IEdmVault5;

Thanks,

Artem

Hi Artem,

unfortunately I do not know where the problem occurs because I do not see that in the debugger.

I debug the class with notepad.exe in mode "Debug Add-ins" in epdm.

Here the code:

public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData)
{
    if (poCmd.meCmdType == EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_CardButton)
    { 
        if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(poCmd.mbsComment)))
        {
            IEdmVault5 vault = poCmd.mpoVault as IEdmVault5;
            try
            {
                //Code
            }
            catch (COMException exp)
            {
                string errorName, errorDesc;
                vault.GetErrorString(exp.ErrorCode, out errorName, out errorDesc);
                vault.MsgBox(0, errorDesc, EdmMBoxType.EdmMbt_OKOnly, errorName);
            }
        }
                    return;
    }
                return;
}

FYI

The AddIn is loaded in "Debug Add-ins".

Then I try to search for something e.g. logged in users...

Perhaps this helps?

You can show a message box or write to a log file after each line of your code with something like "Executed line X". This will help you narrow down the offending line.

Also, rather than using notepad, there is a much better tool available for testing add-ins in debug mode. It is called the Vault Explorer Utility and you can download it here:

Ok, I have found that the script stops at this point ...

Is this normal behavior? I probably do not think so..

Maybe look in knowledge base on S-059088. This solution name - What could cause the error "Call to method 'OnCmd' in add-in '<add-in name>' failed" with error code 0x080131522", when executing a custom API add-in in an SOLIDWORKS® Enterprise PDM vault where there are multiple API add-ins installed?

I would like to apologize. I am just starting to program and did not know that.
