CellEditor startup/edit from xPCB

$

Hello,

 

I am developing in Visual Basic 2010 Express. We have done most of our scripting using Forms (.efm) and VBScript for xPCB. I am having trouble editing a cell after CellEditor is started (and visible) from xPCB Layout.

 

I may be overlooking something very obvious here...

 

I already have:

-Set references in VBE (MGCPCB*.tlb and Cell*.tlb)

-Connected to xPCB

-Validated the license token

-Set the ActiveDatabase

-Looped the Partitions (only 1)

-Looped the Cells

-Started CellEditor and made it visible

 

This works (code snippet I found) in VBScript:

'  Get the Cell Editor object from the PCB document
Set cellEdObj = oPCBdoc.CellEditor
'  Set the Cell Editor to be visible so we can see it
cellEdObj.Visible = False
Set cellDB = cellEdObj.ActiveDatabase

'  Loop through all of the Cell Partitions
ForEach PartIn cellDB.Partitions
    '  Loop through all of the Cells in each Partition
    ForEach CellIn Part.Cells
        If Cell.Name = "P47F_NO_HS"Then
            '  Call the Cell Graphics Editor
            Set cellDoc = Cell.Edit()
            MsgBox("Edit")
            Set cellApp = cellDoc.Application
            '  Make sure the Cell Graphics Editor is visible
            cellApp.Visible = True
            MsgBox("Visible")
            '  This is where a real application would do something
            '  useful.  This example script does nothing but sleep
            '  for half a second before closing the Graphic Editor.
            'Scripting.Sleep(500)
            cellDoc.Close(False)
            MsgBox("Close")
            '  Do some clean up
            Set cellApp = Nothing
            Set cellDoc = Nothing
        EndIf
    Next
Next

'  Close the Cell Editor
cellEdObj.Quit
Call oPCBapp.Gui.StatusBarText("Done.")

This VBE code fails at the Edit:

        ' open CellEditor and close it

        'Dim oCellED As CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg

        'Dim oCellDB As CellEditorAddinLib.CellDB

        oCellED = CType(oPCBDoc.CellEditor, CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg)

        oCellED.Visible = True

        oCellDB = oCellED.ActiveDatabase

 

 

        Console.Write(vbCrLf & oCellDB.Partitions.Count)

        For z As Integer = 1 To oCellDB.Partitions.Count

            oPart = oCellDB.Partitions.Item(z)

            Console.Write(vbCrLf & oPart.Name.ToString)

 

            Console.Write(vbCrLf & oPart.Cells.Count)

            For y As Integer = 1 To oPart.Cells.Count

                oCell = oPart.Cells.Item(y)

                Console.Write(vbCrLf & oCell.Name.ToString)

 

                oCellDoc = CType(oCell.Edit, CellEditorAddinLib.Cell)

                oCellGFX = CType(oCellDoc.Edit, CellEditorAddinLib.CellEditorDlg)

 

                'oCellDoc.Visible = True

                oCellGFX.Visible = True

 

                'MsgBox("OPEN")

 

                'oCellDoc.Quit()

                oCellGFX.Quit()

 

            Next

 

        Next

 

        MsgBox("OPEN")

        oCellED.Quit()
