Topic: Acad2010 Double Click Actions for Mleader

[BazzaCAD]

I've setup the "MultiLeader" in the Acad2010 CUI - Double Click Actions, to call my custom command.
If I double click on the leader segment, my commend starts up just fine, but if I double click on the text part of the Mleader my commend doesn't start up. I just get the contextual Ribbon "Text Editor". Doesn't anyone have any ideas?
In Acad 2008 I can double click on the leader or the text & it will start my custom command...

I am curious as to what you are trying to accomplish by having your own text editor, that you can't accomplish using the built-in editor (you can also modify to some extent the built-in editor by the way)? Hopefully by knowing what you are trying to accomplish I can help you find a way to get to what you want to do.

We've created our own Symbols interface. So you just click on a button, it gets placed on the clipboard, then you just paste it into the Mtext editor.
I'm not overriding or replacing the built in editor, just adding a command in front of it to launch our interface. The code still runs DDEDIT on the MText/MLeader & all works great.
Just the Double Click Action isn't firing when you Double Click on the text of the MLeader. It's acting like they hard-coded it to always use the contextual Ribbon "Text Editor".
I've also tried editing the contextual Ribbon "Text Editor" to place the symbols to the clipboard when a button was clicked, but that just closed the Ribbon "Text Editor" then ran the code...

Any help would be appreciated, thx.

Loving the icons

Thanks.
It's so frustration when you have something working great in one version then it breaks in another, but I guess that's what Adsk does..

I noticed 2008 doubleclicks the same  for the leader and the text (like you suggest) whereas 2010 has 2 different methods. If you set DBLCLKEDIT  off, do you get the same behaviour?

[BazzaCAD]

If I set DBLCLKEDIT = off & Dbl. Clk. it, then nothing happens.

I am not 100% sure how it was accomplished, but I have seen custom icons like that added to the contextual ribbon (from what I saw it would automatically insert the symbols, not just copy them to the clipboard), I tried to get their CUI file, but unfortunately I was unable to.

Oh that would be great if you could get any more info or a link or something.
I asked the Adsk. developers in the beta forms if there where any .NET calls to place a sting into the editor & they said there wasn't, so I'd be interested in seeing how this is done. Maybe they wrote some ObjectARX to do it..

[cmwade77]

No, I think it was done purely by editing the .cui file in the cui editor (possibly by using Notepad as well, I am not sure, I do now that this can be done by extracting the files from the .cuix file, which is really just a .zip file, then rezipping it up) When I have a minute, I will play around with it and see if I can get it to work.
