Open and Close Document Example (C++)

This examples shows how to instantiate a SOLIDWORKS Document Manager session, open an assembly, get its latest supported SOLIDWORKS version number, list its external references, and close it.

 

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely used stuff from Windows headers

#include <stdio.h>

#include <tchar.h>

#define _ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS //Some CString constructors will be explicit

#include <windows.h>

#include <atlbase.h>

#include <iostream>

#include 'safearray.h'

using namespace std;   //Use the standard C++ libraries for text output

 

#import 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\SOLIDWORKS Shared\swdocumentmgr.dll'  raw_interfaces_only, raw_native_types, no_namespace, named_guids //Change as necessary

 

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])  

{

//Initialize COM

CoInitialize(NULL);

 

CComPtr<ISwDMClassFactory> swClassFact;

CComPtr<ISwDMApplication> swDocMgr;

HRESULT hres = swClassFact.CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(SwDMClassFactory), NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER );

CComBSTR Key = _T('your_license_key');  //Specify your license key

CComBSTR AsmDoc = _T('E:\\Assemblies\\Asm\\Assem1.sldasm');  //Replace with the name of your assembly (assuming it has one or more external references)

swClassFact->GetApplication(Key, &swDocMgr);

long ver = -1;

 

swDocMgr->GetLatestSupportedFileVersion(&ver);

cout <<'The latest supported file version is: ' << ver << endl;

 

CComPtr<ISwDMDocument> swDoc;

SwDmDocumentOpenError res;

swDocMgr->GetDocument(AsmDoc, swDmDocumentAssembly,VARIANT_TRUE,  &res, &swDoc);

 

CComPtr<ISwDMSearchOption> pSrcOpt;

VARIANT Files;

swDocMgr->GetSearchOptionObject(&pSrcOpt);

swDoc->GetAllExternalReferences(pSrcOpt, &Files);

SafeBSTRArray FilesArray(&Files);

CComBSTR Ref1 = FilesArray[0];  //First file reference (no particular order)

 

swDoc->CloseDoc();

 

//Release references

pSrcOpt = NULL;

swDoc = NULL;

swDocMgr = NULL;

swClassFact = NULL;

 

//Uninitialize COM

CoUninitialize();

 

return 0;
