Not able to close DOORS from VB6

[kviveksharan]

Dear All,

I am not able to close DOORS from VB6. I called a dxl from vb using

Code: Select all

"Doorsobject.runFile (dxlFilePath & "\exit.dxl")"

which has

Code: Select all

"exit_"

but its not executing. So I am killing DOORS exe. Because of killing DOORS exe next time when I open the same modules they are getting locked.

Can you guys please give a solution to close DOORS from vb6.

Thanks,
Vivek

I got the solution just by calling a function which is in a module in vb6.

Code: Select all

Public Function ExitDoors()
Doorsobject.runFile (dxlFilePath + "\Unlock.dxl")
End Function

In dxl file i have one line

Code: Select all

eval_("exit_()")

If you put the function in Form_Unload the dxl is not getting executed, so in the Form_Unload call the function from Module then DOORS gets closed using vb6. Another way of closing DOORS from VB6 is "sendkeys" but it should be last option as it is not reliable in all cases.

Hope this will help you
