How to keep COM dll in memory while ArchiCAD works?

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 15:16:09 GMT

My Add-On use COM dll. COM dll support authorization and also monitor some local folders for changes. And I need to keep dll in memory all time ArchiCAD works.
I load COM dll while first CommandHandler call occur. But ArchiCAD unload dll after each command execution.

Where I can place my COM dll smart point instance for keep it in memory all time? Or may be you can suggest another decision? Thanks

Or there can be someone will advise how to prevent an unloading of a Add-On after menu command execution?

Take a look at ACAPI_KeepInMemory
This will prevent the add-on from unloading between commands.
