Topic: DBL Click reactor

[TimSpangler]

Possible?  I want to create a Dbl click reactor for a certain block (or blocks with certain params.  Is this possible.  Everything i see say unless you unload the Autocad dblclick arx it isn't possible.

Help?

[ronjonp]

You can do it with reactors...I think you just have to set dblclkedit to 0.

Here's an example by Luis E.

check out James Buzbee's Double Click Reactor

[TimSpangler]

I saw both of those.  LE's version turns off dblclick all together.  I want it on for other things but I want it off for one block.  JB's adds action to certain commands.

I may have to get a bit more creative.  I did see a post that brings up the Block editor then checks the block name it it matches a certain criteria then it closes the editor and preforms said task.??

Still looking for answers....

have been a while - i guess it is possible - but why not using: vlr-miscellaneous-reactor & :vlr-pickfirstmodified ?

i did several routines using that.

now, do you want to try it yourself first, or prefer a working sample?

let me know,

luis.

[TimSpangler]

I'll give it a go..

 This will make only my second attempt at a reactor <This should be a hoot>

I'm sure that I'll be back....

[TimSpangler]

?

Would it be possible to use a command reactor,

-check for the Block editor
-then check the block name
-launch my program?

Just putting this out there...

[Spike Wilbury]

Tim,

Try the attached routine (no idea if it is what you are looking for), I did it for copy blocks automatically by simple touching any block - you may want to add the filter for the block name and maybe also to handle more than one. hth.

Thais prety neat Luis.  I'll look into converting it to meet my needs.  If I have any problems I'll be back

That's great !

here's mine, didn't look at le's, but i bet his is a lot nicer

Code: [Select]

(DEFUN begindoubleclick (reactorobject listofsomething / cmd doc obj ownerobj point)
  (IF (NOT (AND (= (GETVAR "cmdactive") 0) (SSGET "I")))
    (EXIT)
  )
  (SETQ cmd   "_.PROPERTIES"
point listofsomething
obj   (SSNAME (SSGET "I") 0)
doc   (VLAX-GET (VLAX-GET-ACAD-OBJECT) "activedocument")
  )
  (IF obj
    (PROGN (SETQ ownerobj (STRCASE (VLAX-GET (VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT obj)
     "objectname"
   )
  )
   )
   (COND ((= ownerobj "ACDBBLOCKREFERENCE")
  (SETQ gbl_wd_rightclick_ent obj)
  (VLA-SENDCOMMAND doc "(princ (c:menueditwire) ) ")
)
((= ownerobj "ACDBMTEXT")
  (VLA-SENDCOMMAND doc "_.MTEDIT ")
)
(T (VLA-SENDCOMMAND doc (STRCAT cmd " ")))
   )
    )
  )
)
(DEFUN loaddoublclick (/)
  (IF (/= (TYPE doubleclickreactor) 'VLR-MOUSE-REACTOR)
    (SETQ doubleclickreactor
   (VLR-MOUSE-REACTOR
     nil
     '((:VLR-BEGINDOUBLECLICK . begindoubleclick))
   )
    )
  )
  (IF (NOT (VLR-ADDED-P doubleclickreactor))
    (VLR-ADD doubleclickreactor)
  )
  (IF (MEMBER "acdblclkedit.arx" (ARX))
    (ARXUNLOAD "acdblclkedit.arx" nil)
  )
  (PRINC)
)

I am having the feeling that I am not going to be able to do what I want with a reactor.  I want to run a program when a block is selected but the program has a dialog.  I don't think that I can do this??

Any help.. I don't know a thing about reactors...

Yes you can do that.

In my case, I lost all my practice about lisp and more about reactors   

- but did a similar routine in the past (using object reactors) - will try to find it and if possible to post it here.

[TimSpangler]

Thanks Luis.  Every time I think I may have it, I get an error about Not an AutoCAD command..... when I try to fire my program.

[uncoolperson]

isn't there (not at autocad now) a lisp function to fire off dos commands?
