Hi ,
i trying to develop custom tool using openstaad + c#.
i want know what is reference .dll name and where its located in staad installed path.(specially connect edition)
your sample Excel macro is working fine in my system. in this new version i not able find openstaadUI reference .dll.
i want known whether openstadd is separate installation and need separate license to develop custom Tool? if not can you guide us how find reference .dll.
Hi Chinna
With the latest version of STAAD.Pro, the distribution of OpenStaadUI.tlb file has been discontinued. Instead, we have embedded the file inside ‘StaadPro.dll’. You need to add the ‘StaadPro.dll’ as a reference to lookup the methods in Intellisense box. However, to run the code, TLB is not required.
I hope this helps,

It worked , Thank You So much. i am trying to solve it for more than 3 months and finally gave up on it and decided to stick with VBA, These will improve speed of all my openstaad functions and modules for results extraction.
