Topic: force spell check before plot

[David Hall]

I cant seem to get my brain running today.  I cant figure out how to make a user run spell check before plotting.  I used the begin_command event to capture the plot command, but everything I try comes in after the plot command finishes.  Any ideas?

I did a hijack like this once.  if i remember, i used a flag and  the steps basically this

begin command
if flag is false
  cancel command (might have done sendkey esc to do it)
  do stuff i want to do
  set flag = true
  plot
else
end

[David Hall]

its the sendkey esc I cant figure out.  I even tried to undefine the plot command and make my own, but that didn't work either

Have you tried ThisDrawing.SendCommand Chr(27) & Chr(27) & Chr(27)

thinking more on it, I think I had to do it as two subs because I couldn't start the plot while I was in begin command still.

Begin command
if flag is false
  cancel
  flag = true
else
  flag = false
end if
end sub

end command
  if flag then
    spell check
    plot
  end if
end sub

I don't have VBA loaded or I would dig through code and give you a better answer

thanks for looking. I ended up cancelling the plot command and giving the user a boot to the head

Our precentage of Speling erors went down wit 2010 squggily undrlining of mispelled words.  Now it wood be nice if if FireFox had somehting like that.

was that a hard or soft reboot to the head?
