How to get the EA main form object

[lionwys]

hi.
I am building a EA add-in and I build a dialog, but when I click some button in the dialog, I want to focus on the main form,

but I couldn't get the object of the main form, so how can I get that?


thanks

Assuming you have at least one diagram open in the main window, could you not use the Repository.ActivateDiagram function? You'll need the diagram ID but you should have captured that someplace. You can always get a reference to the current diagram with Repository.GetCurrentDiagram.

If you are referring to a tabbed window someplace there is a similar function - Repository.ActivateTab. You need to pass the name of the tab as a string. You should probably first verify that the tab is open with Repository.IsTabOpen, again passing the tab name.
