Sample code

For example:

var app = new Beaver.BcadApplication();
var doc = app.ActiveDocument;
if (doc == null)
    doc = app.Documents.Add();
var stp = doc.STEPDocument;

Beaver.Editor editor = null;	{
	var app = new Beaver.BcadApplication();
	var doc = app.ActiveDocument;
	editor = doc.Editor;
}
Beaver.PromptFileResult result = null; {
	var options = new Beaver.PromptFileOptions(); {
		options.Message = "Input file path";
		options.UseDefaultValue = true;
		options.DefaultValue = "C:\\temp\\test.txt";
		options.ForOpen = true;
		{
			Beaver.Keyword keyword1 = new Beaver.Keyword(); {
				keyword1.Key = "D";
				keyword1.Description = "Description";
			}
			Beaver.Keyword keyword2 = new Beaver.Keyword(); {
				keyword2.Key = "R";
				keyword2.Description = "Role";
			}
			options.Keywords.Add(keyword1);
			options.Keywords.Add(keyword2);
		}
		{
			Beaver.FileFilter filter1 = new Beaver.FileFilter(); {
				filter1.Name = "Text file";
				filter1.Extension = "*.txt";
			}
			Beaver.FileFilter filter2 = new Beaver.FileFilter(); {
				filter2.Name = "IFC file";
				filter2.Extension = "*.ifc";
			}
			options.FileFilters.Add(filter1);
			options.FileFilters.Add(filter2);
		}
	}
	result = editor.GetFile(options);
}
editor.WriteMessage("status: " + result.Status + " StringResult: " + result.StringResult + " value: " + result.Value);
