(GetEnv equivalent in C#
« on: November 30, 2007, 12:18:01 AM »
Question :

I'm trying to retrieve the Acad Search Path variable value
equivalent to (GetEnv "ACAD") in Lisp

As far as I can determine this can't be done with the NET API Library

Anyone have any ideas about a (GetEnv ... and (SetEnv ... equivalent in C# ?

Something similar to one of these :-

I don't see a way with reflector, or in the Arx docs, as the way you would do it in lisp, it doesn't look like you can with C#.  Lisp would be
Code: [Select]
(vla-get-SupportPath
  (vla-get-Files
    (vla-get-Preferences
      (vlax-get-Acad-Object)
    )
  )
)

You can get an object, from the Application object, for the Preferences, but I don't know what you can get from there.

Thanks Tim, that was my conclusion too.

there is AN AcedGetEnv(.. in arx that may perhaps could be PEnvoke'd ... but I'm lost there ..
.. or at a pinch, perhaps the ActiveX methods used in VLisp and vba could be addressed via COM.

My brains not working at the moment, so I'll come back to it.

I'm guessing here. Would info in this post be helpful?

Can you access "Vl.Application.16" via C#?

Kerry,

I was going to post up how to do the COM thing once I returned from walking the mutt, but I see you've already done it.

Here is an implementation of a wrapper for acedGetEnv.

If you look at the docs, it tells you that acedgetenv will look in a particular registry key for the value or failing that, the windows sys env table. You could use the built-in acad .net functions to find the product root key and then do a reg search thru .net, then the system environment variables if you wanted to implement your own.


Cheers,
Glenn.

Thanks Glenn.

That's the direction I wanted to head in next.

I noticed you called that 'setenvwrapper' ..
do you actually have a setenvwrapper using acedGetEnv acedSetEnv ?   <<<< EDIT

Here is an updated code file with both acedGetEnv and acedSetEnv.

Is that what you're after?

Is this a permanent relocation, or are you just visiting?

Hey Chuck,

Permanent, or at least until we decide to go someplace else  :-)
Shipped the dog and the cat as well. Max (the beagle), seems to be loving it - all the new smells and cooler weather. The cat doesn't seem to care one way or the other as long as there's food and a heater to sleep by.

Cheers,
Glenn.

Well done Kerry and Glenn.
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop wasn't in my cad but I did find it in Objectarx 2008\inc
