get active tab of creo #31

Closed dmtr99 closed 4 years ago

dmtr99 commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to get the name of the active tab (sketch, extrude, revolve, model, Analysis,...)?

I have build a lot of contentsensitive menus and hotkeys, so depending on the file,(drawing, part or assembly) a different menu and hotkeys are availible (in a drawing it is usefull to start creating dimensions, in a part the same action is not usefull.

In a sketch tab, there are a few different actions you want to perform: create line, circle, dimension, mirror, in a extrude tab, the action "edit sketch" would be handy. Currently I use a Imagesearch to detect the sketch tab, but this is not fast and could pose problems when distributing the menus along colleagues.

Maybe "creo : get_active_tab"?

It doesn't look like the API supports that. It has functions for creating commands and modifying the ribbon but not for detecting the current tab on the ribbon.

Unless someone else has a suggestion?
