Topic: Detect textscreen height?

[roy_043]

Is there a way to detect the height of the textscreen? For output similar to the LIST command I would like to know how many text lines fit on the textscreen.

Command: SCREENSIZE

SCREENSIZE = 1172.0000,504.0000 (read only)   units in PIXELS , read only .

Hi,

Screensize variable doesn't store the text screen size, but the drawing editor screen size. I think that to get the text screen size you need some call to the Windows API, however I don´t know how to do that from vlisp other than creating a specific COM object and type lib.

@ Roy,
since you brought this up and reminded me of a question.

Does anyone know how to change the nos of text command line without using the option dialog box to change it ?

Let say now I have a 10 line of text command line which is taking quite a space of the graphics screen and
then I like to use lisp to adjust the nos of text command line to 3.

is there a way just by using autolisp of setvar ?

Thanks.

you can get

Code: [Select]

(vla-get-DockedVisibleLines (vla-get-Display (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))but you can't put

info about command line window is stored in profile file (FixedProfile.aws) which has xml structure

sorry @ roy for the off topics in ur post.
it was insensitive for me to do that , sorry. 

Thanks Vovka...it will be great if users get to change the number of command line without going to Option menu.
