Topic: Capturing the command prompt

[Peter Jamtgaard]

Has anyone found a direct way to capture the prompt for command line commands in AutoCAD?

Like while running the pedit command the prompts are:

Select polyline or [Multiple]:

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]:

I want to determine the options (capital letters in this prompt)

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to 'capture' the command line to find out those things.

See the Editor's PromptingForXxxx and PromptedForXxxxx events.

Thanks...

I found that I had played with that problem a couple years ago and found the assembly I had created then to speak the command prompts...using the promptingfor events...

I forget half the code I write and rewrite it. 

I modified that code to suit the new application I am building...
