I'm trying to make a macro in VBA for Delmia. That macro need to open a file and I want to use a FileBrowserDialog to found the path of this file. I use this code that I found on a site but it was for an example using Excel. In excel this code work very well.
The problem in Delmia is sometimes the dialog box do not appear and sometimes it appears very well.
To reproduce the problem you can create a commandbutton that call the "StartIt()" function. In that exemple I wrote the path of the file in a textbox "tbFileName".
Thanks for your help!
