Detailed Description

This class contains the various elements that represent the NX User Interface.

There is a single instance of this class per session. To obtain a reference to the current UI, call the static method UI.GetUI .

For Java, use

SessionFactory::get("UI")

to obtain the reference of the current UI.

For language bindings that support remoting, the server must export it for this class to be obtained by a client.

Use the static method in this class to obtain an instance.

Member Function Documentation

unsafe int NXOpen.UI.AddUtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler ( NXOpen.UI.UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler utilityFunctionVisibilityHandler )

Registers a user defined method that is called whenever an utility function state changes.

Created in NX5.0.5

License requirements: None.

Parameters

utilityFunctionVisibilityHandler

Returns: identifier of registered method (used to unregister the method)

unsafe NXOpen.UI.Status NXOpen.UI.AskLockStatus ( )

Query NX lock status.

This function is useful when dismissing a custom dialog and you want to determine whether or not a lock has been set. Returns NXOpen.UI.Status.Lock , when NX is in lock status. Returns NXOpen.UI.Status.Unlock , when NX is in unlock status.

Created in NX5.0.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe bool NXOpen.UI.CanOpenPart ( )

Returns a flag indicating whether the NX user interface is in a state where opening a part and making it the display part is supported.

For example if certain dialogs are displayed or the system is in a task environment it is not supported

Created in NX8.5.0

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.CustomPopupMenuHandler NXOpen.UI.CreateCustomPopupMenuHandler ( )

Create a custom menu.

Created in NX6.0.4

License requirements: None.

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.BlockStyler.BlockDialog NXOpen.UI.CreateDialog ( string dialogName )

Creates a block dialog.

Use

#undef CreateDialog

in C++ programs to avoid confusion with Windows API

Created in NX6.0.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

dialogName Dialog name

Returns

unsafe NXOpen.BlockStyler.SnapBlockDialog NXOpen.UI.CreateSnapDialog ( string dialogName )

Creates a snap dialog.

Created in NX8.5.0

License requirements: None.

Parameters

dialogName Dialog name

Returns

unsafe void NXOpen.UI.JournalPause ( )

Pauses execution of a journal.

Created in NX4.0.0

License requirements: None.

unsafe void NXOpen.UI.LockAccess ( )

Locks access to the NX User Interface.

This method may be used for a custom dialog that requires the session to remain in a known state. When this method is called, all menu items that would allow the user to edit the model are grayed out.

Note that until UnlockAccess is called, the user will not be able to interact with the session. You must ensure that the UI is unlocked when the custom dialog terminates.

This method will throw an exception if the UI cannot be locked. Note that if the UI has already been locked, then it is safe to call this method again.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

unsafe void NXOpen.UI.RemoveUtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler ( int id )

Unregisters a user defined method that is called whenever an utility function state changes.

Created in NX5.0.5

License requirements: None.

Parameters

id	identifier for method to unregister

unsafe void NXOpen.UI.UnlockAccess ( )

Unlocks access for a UI that has been locked by a call to LockAccess .

If the UI is already unlocked, this method has no effect.

Created in NX3.0.0

License requirements: None.

delegate void NXOpen.UI.UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler ( bool visible )

User defined method is called whenever an NX utility function state changes.

An example of a NX utility function is the Preferences - User Interface dialog.

The input parameter, visible is true when the function becomes visible and false when the function is no longer visible.

NX utility functions can be nested. The following scenario describes when this method is called for a function call in the middle of another function and then exiting both functions:

First utility function call 
UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler - visible == true 
  Second utility function call while the first utility function is still visible 
  UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler - visible == true 
  Second utility function exit 
  UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler - visible == false 
First utility function exit 
UtilityFunctionVisibilityHandler - visible == false 

Created in NX5.0.5

License requirements: None.

Parameters

visible
