building window similar to the Part Navigator Window

building window similar to the Part Navigator Window

building window similar to the Part Navigator Window

(OP)
Hello,

I just started to develop some custom software application using NX and so I registered to this forum since the community seems to be very helpful smile

I would like to develop an application with a main window similar to the Part Navigator one(as displayed when the resource bar is displayed as a toolbar).

This window will include the design tree of my application.
and I would like to add custom features to this design tree: These features will be defined using dialog boxes.

Some of these features need to select NX entities (geometry or axes for example) but some others need to select features already defined in my design tree.

What is the best way to do this, which tool or framework to use for the main application window and for the dialogs?


Thanks for your help

RE: building window similar to the Part Navigator Window

A "TreeView" Control would work fine

Do you mean the "TreeView" control provided by the block styler?

If yes, my understanding is that it implements a modal dialog window where I would expect to have a modeless window like the one of part navigator...

RE: building window similar to the Part Navigator Window

I do not know about what the Block Styler has in store - I never got interested by that environment to program - but instead I refer to the Tree View in the VB.NET Framework - so easy to implement within Visual Studio.

Ok, I understand, thanks for your input.

Nevertheless, for software architecture reason I would like to avoid using the .net framework.

Indeed, my application is using native c++ librairies;
and, if possible, I will better like to avoid C++/CLI wrappers implementation.

Any other inputs?
