Topic: Dumpbin Exports for acad.exe 2006

[Glenn R]

Could someone post up a .txt file containing these please? I only have Express where I am at the moment, which means no dumpbin.exe 

At Visual Studio command prompt type:

dumpbin /exports "PathToAcad2006Exe" >> C:\Temp\Acad2006Exports.txt

Cheers,

[Glenn R]

Don't worry - done it and saved for future express endeavours.

How did you do it?

I use dumpbin from time to time, and all I have is the Express edition.  I had to do some environment configuration first; maybe that's all you need?

As fate would have it, I just posted something about it yesterday:

You guys might know about this one, too:

OK, I won't worry. 

I ran out of time this morning, and I was feeling guilty about it ... but the train had higher priority.

Hmmm. I have no files in that VC folder on my 2008 C# Express install...is it possible you have other version of the Express IDE installed as well, giving you dumpbin?

I solved by going home and using Visual Studio 2005 Professional to export the modules.

Maybe.  I also have the C++ Express Edition installed...  Maybe it came in with that?

[Glenn R]

I suspect so - nice to know though.

Thanks Dan.

Sorry to hijack the thread but in reading through the exports , I noticed these two methods
acedAppendSearchPath and acedRemoveSearchPath. Has anyone partied with these? I tried to P/invoke them but nothing happened. 

Code: [Select]

namespace ExecMethod
{
  public class Commands
  {
    //++--
    [DllImport("acad.exe", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode,
      EntryPoint = "?acedAppendSearchPath@@YAXAAV?$CStringT@_WV?$StrTraitMFC_DLL@_WV?$ChTraitsCRT@_W@ATL@@@@@ATL@@@Z")]
    internal static extern ErrorStatus AppendSearchPath(string path);

    [DllImport("acad.exe", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode,
      EntryPoint = "?acedRemoveSearchPath@@YAXAAV?$CStringT@_WV?$StrTraitMFC_DLL@_WV?$ChTraitsCRT@_W@ATL@@@@@ATL@@@Z")]
    internal static extern ErrorStatus RemoveSearchPath(string path);

   
    [CommandMethod("doit")]
    static public void doit()
    {
      Editor ed = AcAp.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
      try
      {
        AppendSearchPath("C:\\Temp");
      }
      catch (System.Exception ex)
      {
        ed.WriteMessage(ex.Message);
        ed.WriteMessage(ex.StackTrace);
      }
    }

  }
}

Hmmm...no I haven't and not seeing anything in the docs for them either - but that doesn't surprise me one little bit

First time, I know about them... they are available in a2007 too, but not for example in a2002...

here are the undecorated functions, btw:

void acedAppendSearchPath(
class ATL::CStringT<wchar_t,class StrTraitMFC_DLL<wchar_t,class ATL::ChTraitsCRT<wchar_t> > > &)

void acedRemoveSearchPath(
class ATL::CStringT<wchar_t,class StrTraitMFC_DLL<wchar_t,class ATL::ChTraitsCRT<wchar_t> > > &)
