Open Tools API - Project load/close notification

[Vincent Parrett 657]

Hi All

 

Any Open Tools api experts here? I'm working on an ide expert that needs to be notified when a project is opened and closed. I have something working IOTAProjectFileStorageNotifier, however when project groups are opened I can't tell because the ProjectLoaded method is never called for it. 

 

Is there a better way? Ideally I'd like to be notified before a project/group is loaded (I just need the filename). 

 

thx

You should try IOTAIDENotifier registered with IOTAServices. Then in FileNotification check for NotifyCode = ofnFileOpening. This will be called for all files before they are opened, so you need to filter by extension.

BTW, may need to keep your IOTAProjectFileStorageNotifier implementation, because FileNotification is not fired during a file reload triggered by an external change (f.i. initiated by a VCS action).

Thanks @Uwe Raabe I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

Thanks @Uwe Raabe - IOTAIDENotifier was exactly I needed - first ever dpm restore on project load 

 

 

 

Still plenty to do but the basics are working
