Grips
« on: February 09, 2007, 09:40:02 AM »
I'm using 2005.
I want to create a QLeader, select that Qleader to highlight the grips, and then be able to select any of the grips.
Suggestions? :lol:

1- ignore Greg
2- How are you trying to code this?  Seems like a manual process
Everyone has a photographic memory, Some just don't have film.
They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy Bacon and that's a close second.

(1.) Already did that
(2.) It may end up that way
(3.) I'd settle for learning how to highlight and select the grips with vba.

I dont have a clue how you would do it b/c I dont think grips are exposed to VBA.  I'll look in my reference books and see if I can find anything

Greg, while I find your humor entertaining, some people b/c of cultural differences, just don't understand what your talking about.

.Highlight would highlight the leader, but I don't think there's a way to enable grips.

why do you need to highlight the grips ?
if it to move one of the ends then you already have the points when you created it, you just update the points again

what have I missed ?

I wanted to use vba to automate my creation of multi-leaders....

Do this:
Create a Qleader.
Select the Qleader to highlight the grips.
Select the Arrow tip grip.
press and hold <Ctrl> + <Shift>.
select one or more ambigous points in space.
Press <Enter>.

Nice, huh?

do this instead

create a qleader
use getpoint to prompt for a few more points [enter when done]
add leaders from the leader base point to the new arrow points

same end result , just different approach
