Title: Resume GetEntity after Keword and form
Post by: sdunn on October 15, 2014, 05:50:12 PM

I have a GetEntity prompt that I want to add a settings option to as a keyword.  I have not found a way to return to the GetEntity after exiting the form. 

I found a way that might work using a handler for keywordinput by Gile, but I want to make sure there isn't something obvious that I am overlooking.

The keywordinput handler is for use with SelectionSets. Use a loop to handle the keyword option with the Getxxxx() methods. A quick example:

Code - C#: [Select]

1.             PromptEntityResult entResult;
2.             //loop to allow user to pick multiple objects and/or enter a keywordht
3.             do
4.             {
5.                 entResult = ed.GetEntity(entProps);
6.                 if (entResult.Status == PromptStatus.Keyword)
7.                 {
8.                     if (entResult.StringResult != "SEttings") //in this case I have 1 keyword
9.                         continue;
10.                     changeSettings();
11.                 }
12.                 else if (entResult.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
13.                 {
14.                     using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
15.                     {
16.                          //do what you need with the entity
17.                     }
18.                 }
19.             } while (entResult.Status == PromptStatus.OK || entResult.Status == PromptStatus.Keyword);  //loops until nothing selected or entered
20.
