how to activate the main body in Late Biding


activating the Main Body in early binding works.

Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument        
partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim part1 As Part
part1 = partDocument1.Part
Dim bodies1 As Bodies = part1.Bodies
Dim body1 As Body = bodies1.Item("Main Body")
part1.InWorkObject = body1

In Late Binding the (Exception de HRESULT : 0x80020003 (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND)) error is returned

Dim partDocument1 As Object        
partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Dim part1 As Object
part1 = partDocument1.Part
Dim bodies1 As Object
bodies1  = part1.Bodies
Dim body1 As Object 
body1  = bodies1.Item("Main Body")
part1.InWorkObject = body1

Thank you for your attention


Solution

  • I found the solution here: https://ww3.cad.de/foren/ubb/Forum137/HTML/004604.shtml

    Dim partDocument1 As Object
        partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
        Dim part1 As Object
        part1 = partDocument1.Part
        Dim bodies1 As Object
        bodies1 = part1.Bodies
        Dim body1 As Object
        body1 = bodies1.Item("Main Body")
        'part1.InWorkObject = body1 'Not working in Late Binding
        part1.[GetType]().InvokeMember("InWorkObject", BindingFlags.SetProperty, Nothing, part1, New Object() {body1})
