Where to start?

Anonymous — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:03:21 GMT

Hi all
- is it possible to open ArchiCAD plan on my window?
- is there some example (of EXE file) which use ArchiCAD ? Have downloaded Development Kit and Basic Library, but there is no EXE or DLL's.
- is there some Activex control ?

Thank you

Can you describe what you want to do in more detail? Perhaps outline the context in which this would be used.

The devkit comes with a whole batch of examples - take a look in the Examples folder.

No. ArchiCAD development is cross-platform, and ActiveX is proprietary technology (MS-only).

Hi
looks like API is not designed for things I need, but for work inside ArchiCAD.
Can someone tell me, is there some VB example how to connect to PLA file (with ODBC) and read some data from some table (WALLS, for example)?
In Windows XP, can not create ODBC connection (ODBC window disappear, and in Vista ODBC window display, but can not connect to the PLA file.

Thank you
