Topic: Hatch dialog box

[Tramber]

I'm sorry in advance in the case this had already been asked, but I would need a help.

I would like to programm a hatch selection through the original Acad H selection dialog box. Is it possible to invoke it ? Transparently ? And it would only return the name of the choosen item.

I use ObjectDCL and maybe I stupidely ignore that it is possible with it

Give this a try

Code: [Select]

(setvar "cmddia" 1)
(initdia)
(command "bhatch" pause "")
~'J'~

(bhatch)

спасибо and Thank you, but you all think I'm lazy 

That would be too easy to send the _batch command....

No, non, ne, I just want the hatch pattern selection box and a string value returned. In my program, I can't select objects or area.

Probably, it is necessary to write the dialogue with display of slides...
DCL?

[Tramber]

That is what I was afraid of !
So, you think I have to write an old slide library ? Ok, I gonna look further in ODCL. Maybe there is a functionnality I didn't see.

With OpenDCL V4.0.0.0.6 Alpha for AC2004-AC2008 ;
The Hatch control is currently in the bugBox.
I expect it will be addressed in the next couple of days.

Ok, but I got the commercial version and it is a complete mess if I want to use the Open version. So I'm quite confident that my version is good. But again, does this control help me to select a pattern ? I'm not sure. I haven't tried yet.

[Kerry]

does this control help me to select a pattern

Yes

I have all the builds back to 2000 but have never played with the hatch control untill today.

I've just had the (obvious) idea to try the Hatches.odc located in the sample files.
The idea is to place a comboBox with an already made list of items (names of hte hatches). But it  it tells me that there is no ODCL_HATCH_SETPATTERN definition.

And (not)surprisingly, when I load the lisp in the Vlisp console, the function is not recognised.

But the idea is there, in that sample : using a combo + an hatch control

The question is now : Am I using the new or the old version of ODCL ?  I'm lost now.

Ok, I shall move onto another forum now. Thanks to all of you.

try
(ODCL_GETVERSIONEX)
will return the version in ONLY v4.xxxx  as a string

or
(ODCL_GETVERSION) in all versions will return a real

V 3.0

Does ODCL_HATCH_SETPATTERN work better in V4 ?

Because of changes to Architecture and changes to suit unicode requirements in AC2007 it's not just a simple recompile
