Title: vlax-invoke
Post by: velasquez on November 30, 2013, 07:37:02 AM: Hi
Can anyone explain me the difference between working with:

Code: [Select]
(setq JoyObj (vlax-invoke (JoyGetActiveSpace) 'addline p1 p2 ) ;_ fim de vlax-invoke )
OR

Code: [Select]
(setq JoyObj (vla-addLine (JoyGetActiveSpace) (vlax-3D-Point p1) (vlax-3D-Point p2) ) ;_ fim de vla-addLine ) ;_ fim de setq
And when one method is better than the other?

Thanks
velasquez

Here is a very good general explanation.

Concerning the differences in the structure/operation of the functions, here (http://bit.ly/1cr3roB) is a good explanation by sinc.
