Topic: Another table question, keep getting a fatal error with quick props...

[Viktor]

So I create a table with this sub i sketched up:

Code: [Select]

        Sub CreateNewTable(ByVal LV As Windows.Forms.ListView)
            Dim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartOpenCloseTransaction

            Dim myDWG As Document
            myDWG = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument

            Dim bt As BlockTable = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
            Dim btr As BlockTableRecord = tr.GetObject(db.CurrentSpaceId, OpenMode.ForWrite)

            Dim tbl As New Table
            tbl.Position = New Point3d(24.125, 21.25, 0)
            tbl.InsertRows(1, 0.25, LV.Items.Count + 4)
            tbl.InsertColumns(1, 1, 5)


            tbl.MergeCells(New TableRegion(0, 0, 0, 5))
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(0, 0.732123)
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(1, 0.8125)
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(2, 3.505651)
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(3, 1.324726)
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(4, 0.625)
            tbl.SetColumnWidth(5, 0.625)
            tbl.SetRowHeight(0, 0.5)
            tbl.SetRowHeight(1, 0.4375)


            tbl.SetValue(0, 0, "BILL OF MATERIAL (X STRUCTURE)", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 0, "NO. REQD", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 1, "MARK", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 2, "DESCRIPTION", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 3, "REMARKS", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 4, "UNIT WT.", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(1, 5, "TOTAL WT.", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)

            Dim x As Integer, y As Integer
            y += 2
            For Each item As Windows.Forms.ListViewItem In LV.Items
                x = 0
                For Each sitem In item.SubItems
                    tbl.SetValue(y, x, sitem.Text, ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
                    x += 1
                Next
                y += 1
            Next


            tbl.MergeCells(New TableRegion(y, 3, y, 4))
            tbl.MergeCells(New TableRegion(y + 1, 3, y + 1, 4))
            tbl.MergeCells(New TableRegion(y + 2, 3, y + 2, 4))
            tbl.SetValue(y, 3, "ESTIMATED WEIGHT", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(y + 1, 3, "PLUS 5% FOR GALV.", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)
            tbl.SetValue(y + 2, 3, "TOTAL EST. WEIGHT", ParseOption.ParseOptionNone)

            x = 0
            y = 0
            tbl.SetTextHeight(0, 0, 0.125)
            For y = 1 To LV.Items.Count + 4
                For x = 0 To 5
                    tbl.SetTextHeight(y, x, 0.09375)
                Next
            Next


            tbl.Visible = True
            btr.AppendEntity(tbl)
            tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tbl, True)
            ed.Regen()
            tr.Commit()
            tr.Dispose()
        End Sub
I'm using AutoCad Map 3d 2009. Table looks good until my cursor falls on it and activates quick properties window, then it does a fatal crash. It seems to be very consistent. Am I doing something wrong? Or this is one of those little buggies that were not fixed?

Thanks,
Viktor.

Code: [Select]

you might try putting a Table::GenerateLayout() after creating the table

Thanks, that did not help, but I think I may have figured out what the issue is, I just have to confirm it.

Another question on tables is how do you make a table style? or is it easier to just bring one in from a template drawing?
