vbld_BuildDone event not firing?

[bbarbe3]

I'm trying to display the build's log files (I define three) using the user's default file association at the end of the build. I added some simple scripting to the vbld_BuildDone event function that determines the log file names and then calls the Run method on the Shell object (I actually tried the Exec method as well). I've assumed that I was doing something wrong in script (still may be the case), but if I try something as simple as a MsgBox "vbld_BuildDone entered!" it never displays. I've added the vbld_BuildDone function to the Project scripts tab, and when I execute the project, whether through the GUI App or Cmd line App, it never seems to enter the vbld_BuildDone function. I'm using VisualBuildPro 5.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How did you create the vbld_BuildDone event? Did you create it using the Events button, or by manually entering it?

Attached is an example bld that calls MsgBox in the vbld_BuildDone event, and it works as expected for me.

Perhaps you didn't use the correct method signature when you manually created the method? Ie. you didn't include the status parameter?

I inserted the function using the Events button on the script editor dialog, so the signature was correct. Unfortunately, I placed a number of MsgBox calls throughout the function but failed to add one as the first line. I was failing in my attempt to create a Shell object (operator error!) and hence was never hitting my first MsgBox. My fault completely. Your sample was helpful because I just replaced my vbld_BuildDone function with yours which of course worked.
