Standalone development for ArchiCAD

Anonymous
Not applicable
I need to write a file(s) converter to ArchiCAD.
The requirement is to integrate the converter inside stand alone application frame (Windows application).
ArchiCAD is installed on this machine.

Is there a toolkit / way for developing outside ArchiCAD.
Maybe via COM/ActiveX?

Thanks

There's currently no prescribed way to do this, but there is at least one workaround. Any application with a user-interface (like ArchiCAD) receives and processes external messages via its interface controls, some of which can be routed to an add-on. And there's your opening...
