   Thanks for the sample,
   Im still a bit confused though, Looking through the api docs (my only other source of information) gives me the idea that i’d need to inherit/implement the ClientFeatureX abstract classes/interfaces. But i dont see anything of that in your code…
   That makes me very curious what is going on inside the AdnInvUtilityLib.dll that you link to in the sample. Would it be possible to peek at the source of that?

   There isn’t any class or interface you can implement in the native Inventor API, however I used this kind of approach in the code from AdnInvUtilityLib.dll. This is my own library to deal with Inventor add-in programming. I feel like it is more intuitive to provide abstract methods to implement.
   The full source code for that lib is available from that previous post:

   Thanks, makes it a bit clearer now..
   lots of nice stuff in your UtilitLib, are there any limitations on using it for commercial purposes?

   Hi Ranjan,
   Your question has nothing to do with the topic of this post, in the future please use the forum to ask this kind of questions:

   Here is a post about using WPF in an Inventor Dockable Window:
   http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2012/06/embedding-a-wpf-user-control-in-a-dockablewindow-in-inventor.html
   If you want to display a WPF form inside Inventor which is not contained inside a dockable dialog, you can just simply show your dialog, nothing specific to Inventor.

   As Philippe said the question is not really Inventor specific, however, since I saw this question asked a few times I decided to write about it:
