XSIApplication.ActiveProject2

Introduced

v6.0

Description

Returns or sets the active XSIProject object.

Note: If you are setting the active project with scene currently loaded, a file browser will prompt you to save the current scene as a new file the next time you save the scene. This is because you are now in a new project so the location of the 'current' scene file has changed.

Note: This method could return an invalid object in python, use XSIApplication.ActiveProject3 instead.

C# Syntax

// get accessor

Project rtn = XSIApplication.ActiveProject2;

// set accessor

XSIApplication.ActiveProject2 = Project;

var sPath = XSIUtils.BuildPath(

	Application.InstallationPath(siFactoryPath), 

	"Data", "NewProject"

);

Application.ActiveProject2 = Application.CreateProject(sPath);

Application.LogMessage ( "New Active Project: " + Application.ActiveProject2.Path );

// Set back the original project

Application.ActiveProject2 = Application.CreateProject( sOriginalProjectPath );
