Parameters

FileName

Fully qualified path and filename (see Remarks)

IsTemp

True to delete the local copy of a remote non-eDrawings file when that file is closed, false to keep the local copy

PromptToSave

True to show a dialog if the user exits without saving the file, false to not show a dialog

ReadOnly

True if the file is read-only, false if not

CommandString

Specify an empty string (""); do not specify Nothing, Empty, or vbNullString

Syntax for specifying the filename:

Because IEModelViewControl::OpenDoc starts a new thread of execution and because eDrawings files are often loaded across the Internet or other potentially slow and unreliable networks, this API call can return before the document is finished loading.

Referencing a model that has not finished loading (for example, calling IEModelViewControl::Animate) can cause your application to hang, crash, or behave unpredictably. Therefore, listen for the OnFinishedLoadingDocument event after calling IEModelViewControl::OpenDoc so that your application knows when the eDrawings file is finished loading. Once your application receives notification that the eDrawings file has been loaded, it is safe to access the model.
