Topic: VB.NET not MENULOAD from Initialize

[FELIX]

The MENULOAD at startup does not work and shows ERROR. Already run the TESTE command Works.

Me no VB but in c# we inherit at the start of the class and then override the methods of initialize and terminate

Edit: This is the case I think

do you have your MdiActiveDocument at the time of init?
(is any document loaded at all?)

[FELIX]

The command is executed when AutoCAD is opened.

Hasn't MENULOAD been obsolete for several versions, replaced with CUILOAD?

You could try to catch the error and show that. Though I thought errors while initializing are silently handled, so I am surprised you see the error messagebox.

I think the document is not loaded yet, so you can not send commands to the commandline.
