LOL !! you'r quick guy's to answer that hein ...isn' it ?

Opendcl = Free
Derivate product of ObjectDCL

ObjectDCL = Bug Free
www.ObjectDCL.com

Got git 'im James!  I see you lurking around here.   :wink:


From my experience, OpenDCL has NOT had anything that I would consider a BUG.  And with Owen always monitoring the OpenDCL forums, any "bugs" that have been posted have been quickly fixed/updated/modified in the next release.  Owen's turn-around time is incredibily fast!

First of all, it's not my job to test the software to make sure it works.  Secondly, I haven't experienced anything I would consider a bug.  The two or three things that I've had issues with were "as-designed" and just required a slight change in my thinking.

So enlighten us... what have you come across in OpenDCL that is a bug in your extensive testing?
And just out of curiosity, how many seats of ObjectDCL have you sold?

That exacly what i've say....still have bugs.

Don't worry, I dowload each release of it...and test it all.

And just out of curiosity, how many seats of ObjectDCL have you sold?
anough don't worry about that..  ;-)

Let's not turn this into a war folks. It's easy to be passionate and defensive about the software you use or are associated with. Let's leave it at that. :)

Who's turning this into a "war"?  I've simply stated that the answers to my questions were vague at best.

The response that Andrea gave me was just the kind of spark that I needed.  Now I will investigate Open/ObjectDCL further.  Thanks Andrea for providing such an awesome example of what can be done with these two add-ons.  It has definately sparked my interest and given me motivation to learn something new.  I wondered when something would happen along and expand the horizons of AutoCAD customization.

I am still excited about what can be done.  Guess I am easily amused. :lol:

As always, thanks everybody for your help.

Now that is COOL!  Was it created by OpenDCL or what?  Never seen a DCL file look so cool.  Very nice work.  I dont know a whole lot about it but I guess I check it out.  I'm gonna have to check out this thing called Open DCL!

If you are refering to the sample provided by Gary, ... the code inside of BrowseForFolder() does that for you (via Activex).

For that look into the Visual Lisp Help == vla-getInterfaceObject

Go git 'im James!  I see you lurking around here.

If any of you know the History of ObjectDCL and OpenDCL you'll give Andrea a little slack.  I would call foul if OpenDCL was Andrea's direct competitor, however, because it's free it really can't be considered "competitive". 

With ObjectDCL you pay for continued support of the version purchased.  With OpenDCL that support could evaporate at anytime (I'm not, like, saying Owen would spontaneously evaporate, but, heck you never know.) 

I personally don't have a problem using the free version.  The source code is available for download so if there was any evaporation, spontaneously or otherwise, I could always hire a programmer to edit and compile.

I have my own business, so I can understand Andrea's position.

I did not think there was such a thing as "Bug-Free" software?  :-D
