How to access current workspace?

[Stefan Bender]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to traverse the current workspace to collect information about the tools and menu items.

Unfortunately, I have not yet found a way to do so. I tried using IWorkspaceFile interface, but all attempts failed.

 

I tried

 

 VCOMPtr<VectorWorks::Workspaces::IWorkspaceFile> pwf(VectorWorks::Workspaces::IID_WorkspaceFile);
   TXString workspace_name;
    
    gSDK->GetCurrentWorkspaceFile(workspace_name);

 

VCOMError e_open = pwf->Open(workspace_name,fsRdPerm);

 

but e_open returned 1 and successive calls trying to access the menu bar also didn't work (null pointer returned by IWorkspaceFile::GetMenuBar).

 

What mistake did I make? How can I get access to the current workspace?

 

Thanks for any help,
