After all the hoops... it was an human error or a.k.a = le = me

Thank you, now I have the command running normally, and continue practicing.


Have fun.

ahh, they are sometimes the best errors, you learn so much more on the way even though you want to kick yourself for missing something simple. :D

Luis, good to hear it's resolved, even if it had to be a workaround.

Can you post a copy of the current working solution so anyone following along later can compare the alternative code.

... something like 'TestModeless.zip'  just for clarity.

Just want it to say... that the porting and coding is getting so well, that this particular routine that was original done in autolisp and dcl, it is looking good!, it has not been that difficult at all.

Here is an animation preview of my work in progress... it might encourage some to jump into C#...

Good to see you resisted the urge to get too colourfull with your interface Luis. Looking good.
A rule of thumb all should follow is to make your UI look and feel like AutoCAD as much as possible.

Cheers,
Glenn.

Just one thing Luis. If it was me, I would ditch the blue background and "Door Installer Not/Ready.." stuff at the bottom and simply enable or disable the "Install Button" appropriately. Looks great.

Cheers,
Glenn.

Note:
Since there is no way to make a custom object... I end up making a Door class and saved in dictionaries the door properties and redoing the door with anonymous blocks - it works for what I need.

I know, there is no code, but have a look of my work in progress:
