ActiveProject2 (XSIApplication)

Introduced

6.0

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.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
Project rtn = XSIApplication.ActiveProject2;

// set accessor
XSIApplication.ActiveProject2 = Project;

Examples

1. JScript Example

// 
// This example demonstrates how to set the current project with jscript
//

// Backup the current project
var sOriginalProjectPath = Application.ActiveProject2.Path
Application.LogMessage ( "Original Active Project: " + sOriginalProjectPath );

// Set the active project to be XSI_Samples
var sPath = Application.InstallationPath( siFactoryPath );
sPath += "/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 );
Application.LogMessage ( "New Active Project: " + Application.ActiveProject2.Path );

2. Python Example

#
