Controlling Diadem from c# application

[OzShimon]

Hi,

I am using diadem advanced edition 2102.

My project include c# application that need to controll diadem. i found out that ToCommand object can do the job, and i succeeded with that.

My application needs to control diadem graph player - play/stop/goto..

***The problem is when i click play(the diadem graph player start moving) but if i want to stop diadem after play was Clicked (from the c# application) diadem must to be stopped from himself to get c# application stop command,
that means that after play was clicked i need to stop the diadem himself in order to send him new commands.

thanks

How are you trying to stop DIAdem? what functions are you using for that?

Hi Oz,

The Cursor.Play() method has a boolean parameter that controls whether the command returns synchronously (1) or asynchronously (0).

Call WndShow("VIEW")
Set Cursor = View.ActiveSheet.Cursor
Call Cursor.GotoStart
Call Cursor.Play(0)
MsgBox "Done"
Call Cursor.Stop

Tthis sequence of commands works in a DIAdem VBScript, and it ought to work through the ActiveX layer (though I haven't tested it).

Dear OzShimon,

Can you please send me the code you have used in c# to control Diadem? I am new to Diadem and have no clue how to use it in c#. I am also trying to send an excel sheet as input to diadem to create groups and channels.

Thanks in advance.

Hi EagleEye,

I would go ahead and post a new thread.  Since this thread is older it will not get any traffic on it unless people specifically search for the topic.
