Starting from an older article here I tried to do a vb.net app to find and get a little bit faster help for further developments in 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX).
The app is switching native apps in 3DX based on their alias and allows searching this alias based on the native app string (or the workbench if you like the equivalent in CATIA V5) or alias string.
Something similar can be done also for commands but here we can see only switching native apps.
To do this, I used an Excel macro to generate a txt file with code to be used in vb.net. Of course, this was my choice because I wanted to do something which I didn't do before, it can be done in many other ways, easier or faster, so, please, understand me :).
The Excel file is looking like bellow with a macro inside which is generating the code to be used in vb.net (you can also import the Excel file directly to be used by vb.net but this is another story).
And how is looking in vb.net
