Hello all,

I am trying to start a template with the command:

EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PostState

The template starts with a corresponding template card.

In this card I want to transfer some values from the source file e.g. a SolidWorks-Drawing.


Unfortunately I am not sure how to catch the Template object to use the SetVar Method.

Here my Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using EdmLib;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
namespace EpdmCsAddIn
{
    [Guid("0C6730E7-5E12-409E-AC50-96654A5F6C76"), ComVisible(true)]
    public class CsAddIn : IEdmAddIn5
    {
        public void GetAddInInfo(ref EdmAddInInfo poInfo, IEdmVault5 poVault, IEdmCmdMgr5 poCmdMgr)
        {
            poInfo.mbsAddInName = "AddIn Template";
            poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 14;
            poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 2;
            poInfo.mlAddInVersion = 1001;
            poInfo.mbsCompany = "Mario Boelingen - " + "Hegenscheidt MFD";
            poInfo.mbsDescription = "Vorlage zur Erstellung von Add-Ins";
            poCmdMgr.AddHook(EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PostState);
        }
        public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData)
        {
            if (poCmd.meCmdType != 0)
            {
                if (poCmd.meCmdType == EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PostState)
                {
                    IEdmVault13 vault = poCmd.mpoVault as IEdmVault13;
                    int index = 0;
                    int last = 0;
                    index = Information.LBound(ppoData);

                    TransitionID = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mlObjectID3;   // ID of transition to perform
                    UserID = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mlObjectID4;         // ID of user
                    FilePath = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mbsStrData1;       // Path to file
                    DestState = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mbsStrData2;      // Name of destination state
                    DestStateID = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mlLongData2;    // ID of destination state
                    SourceStateID = ((EdmCmdData)ppoData.GetValue(index)).mlLongData1;  // ID of source state
                    IEdmFile8 File = default(IEdmFile8);
                    IEdmFolder5 ppoRetParentFolder;
                    File = (IEdmFile8)vault.GetFileFromPath(FilePath, out ppoRetParentFolder);
                    fileName = File.Name.ToString();
                    extension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName);
                    ext = extension.TrimStart('.');
                    string RevNumber = File.CurrentRevision;
                    RevNumber = RevNumber.Replace(".", "");
                    IEdmEnumeratorVariable5 varEnum1 = default(IEdmEnumeratorVariable5);

                    object ArtNumber = null;
                    varEnum1.GetVar("SL_NUMMER", "@", out ArtNumber);
                    string ArtNumberVal = (string)ArtNumber;
                    object ArtName = null;
                    varEnum1.GetVar("SL_BENENNUNG", "@" ,out ArtName);
                    string ArtNameVal = (string)ArtName;
                    if (DestState == "START")
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            IEdmTemplateMgr5 templateMgr = default(IEdmTemplateMgr5);
                            templateMgr = (IEdmTemplateMgr5)vault.CreateUtility(EdmUtility.EdmUtil_TemplateMgr);

                            while (index <= last)
                            {

                                while (!pos.IsNull)
                                {
                                    template = templateMgr.GetNextTemplate(pos);
                                    templateName = template.GetMenuString();
                                    
                                   //Try to access the Template-Object PROBLEM
                                    IEdmEnumeratorVariable5 varEnum2 = default(IEdmEnumeratorVariable5);
                                    varEnum2 = template.GetEnumeratorVariable();
                                   //Try to access the Template-Object PROBLEM
                                    if (templateName == "Aenderungsdienst")
                                    {
                                        varEnum2.SetVar("SL_NUMMER", "", ArtNumberVal);
                                        varEnum2.SetVar("SL_BENENNUNG", "", ArtNameVal);
                                        varEnum2.SetVar("Revision_ZEICHNUNG", "", RevNumber);
                                        varEnum2.Flush();
                                        EdmRefreshFlag refreshFlag = default(EdmRefreshFlag);
                                        refreshFlag = (EdmRefreshFlag)template.Run(0, FolderID);
                                    }
                                    return;
                                }
                                index = index + 1;
                            }
                        }
                        catch (COMException exp)
                        {
                            string errorName, errorDesc;
                            vault.GetErrorString(exp.ErrorCode, out errorName, out errorDesc);
                            vault.MsgBox(0, errorDesc, EdmMBoxType.EdmMbt_OKOnly, errorName)                     
                         }
                    }
                    return;
                }
                return;
            }
            return;
        }
    }
}

How can I do that?
