Another problem with my posted code is that it only iterates through loaded models. A workaround is to write a quick VBA to activate each model in the design file and then to run the code.
A much better solution is posted here.
Here is the new code. This works much better. It requires CreateLib.lib, mdlbltin.lib, BentleyDGN.lib to be statically linked.
#using <ustation.dll>
#using <Bentley.General.1.0.dll>
#using <bentley.interop.microstationdgn.dll>
#using <bentley.microstation.dll>
#using <bentley.microstation.interfaces.1.0.dll>
#include "ModelIterator.h"
#include "DgnHeaders.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace ExpandPrintBorder;
ref class MyAddin sealed : public Bentley::MicroStation::AddIn
{
public:
/*MyAddin(System::IntPtr mdlDesc)
: base(mdlDesc)
{
}*/
MyAddin(System::IntPtr mdlDesc) : Bentley::MicroStation::AddIn(mdlDesc){
}
public:
int Run(array<System::String^>^ commandLine) override{
MessageBox::Show("C++/CLI application started");
Iterate();
return 0;
};
void Iterate(){
DgnIndexIteratorP iterator = mdlModelIterator_create(mdlModelRef_getDgnFile(ACTIVEMODEL));
DgnIndexItemP item = mdlModelIterator_getFirst(iterator);
MSWChar modelName[MAX_MODEL_NAME_LENGTH];
while (item)
{
mdlModelItem_getName(item, modelName, MAX_MODEL_NAME_LENGTH);
models_activate(modelName);
CSharpAddin^ cs = gcnew CSharpAddin();
cs->Main();
item = mdlModelIterator_getNext(iterator);
}
mdlModelIterator_free(iterator);
// Active a model to enable a user to work with it
}
BoolInt models_activate
(
MSWChar const* modelName // => Activate this model
)
{
BoolInt activated = FALSE;
MSWChar activeName[MAX_MODEL_NAME_LENGTH];
mdlModelRef_getModelName(ACTIVEMODEL, activeName);
DgnFileObjP dgnFileObj = mdlModelRef_getDgnFile(ACTIVEMODEL);
DgnModelRefP modelRef = NULL;
if (SUCCESS == mdlModelRef_createWorkingByName(&modelRef, dgnFileObj, modelName, TRUE, FALSE)&&
SUCCESS == mdlModelRef_activateAndDisplay(modelRef))
{
activated = models_areSame(modelRef, ACTIVEMODEL);
}
mdlModelRef_freeWorking(modelRef);
return activated;
}
BoolInt models_areSame
(
DgnModelRefP modelRef1,
DgnModelRefP modelRef2
)
{
return mdlModelRef_getCache(modelRef1) == mdlModelRef_getCache(modelRef2);
}
};That code will successfully activate each model in the active design file.
