Topic: Button Control Event

[HD]

The button control event code below is work in progress. What is happenning is after returning to my main form, the "Insertion Point" prompt remains as the AutoCAD command-line prompt.

Am I doing something wrong or is there some way to clear the command-line prompt prior to returning to my main form?

Just for the heck of it, I placed the code, minus a couple of statements, into a CommandMethod and it works fine.

Code: [Select]

private void btnInsertion_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Editor ed = acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;

    this.Hide();

    PromptPointOptions options =
        new PromptPointOptions("Insertion Point");

    PromptPointResult result = ed.GetPoint(options);
    if (result.Status != PromptStatus.OK)
        return;

    this.Show();

    Point3d insertionPoint = result.Value;
}

Try knocking out the Hide() and Show() function calls and see what happens...

What happens if you simply print "\nCommand: " to the command window using Editor.WriteMessage(), just before your button handler ends?

Ah, the Swamp gives better answers than ADN.

I have done something like this:

Code: [Select]

        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        public static extern System.IntPtr SetFocus(System.IntPtr hwnd);

        // modeless form
        private void onClick_InstallDoor(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            str_doorwidth = doorWidths_comboBox.GetItemText(doorWidths_comboBox.Items[doorWidthsIndex]);
            str_doorname = doorNames_comboBox.GetItemText(doorNames_comboBox.Items[doorNamesIndex]);
            str_doortype = doorTypes_comboBox.GetItemText(doorTypes_comboBox.Items[doorTypesIndex]);
            str_doorframe = doorFrames_comboBox.GetItemText(doorFrames_comboBox.Items[doorFramesIndex]);
            str_doorposition = doorWallPositions_comboBox.GetItemText(doorWallPositions_comboBox.Items[doorWallPositionsIndex]);

            str_distanceCorner = editDistanceCorner.Text;
            double d_distCorner = Converter.StringToDistance(str_distanceCorner, DistanceUnitFormat.Architectural);
            editDistanceCorner.Text = Converter.DistanceToString(d_distCorner, DistanceUnitFormat.Architectural, -1);

            try
            {
                // hide the dialog while doing the installation of doors
                Visible = false;
                doorInstaller(); // call the function
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error: " + ex.Message); //in case there is an error, show a message
            }
            finally
            {
                Visible = true;
                SetFocus(Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.MainWindow.Handle);
            }
        }

// where the called function is something like:
        public static void doorInstaller()
        {
            string block_dwg = "90 degrees swing"; //default
            switch (doorNamesIndex)
            {
                case 0:
                    block_dwg = "90 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 1:
                    block_dwg = "45 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 2:
                    block_dwg = "30 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 3:
                    block_dwg = "15 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 4:
                    block_dwg = "180 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 5:
                    block_dwg = "Pair 90 degrees swing";
                    break;
                case 6:
                    block_dwg = "Pair 90 degrees double egress";
                    break;
                case 7:

                    break;
            }

            Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase;
            Document doc = acadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;

            while (true)

Are you trying to say "Use Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.PostCommandPrompt()"?

If so, what's wrong with just saying it?  Is the commentary ("** yawn**") really necessary?

Yes.

Considering it was 6:45AM or so in the morning, my eyes were barely open and I knew you'd bite - yes
