Topic: Testing if a menu is already loaded

[ajtruckle]

In BricsCAD all you need to do is:

Code: [Select]

Application.IsMenuGroupLoaded("xxx")
But the IsMenuGroupLoaded method is not available for AutoCAD nor ZWCAD.

At the moment I am using COM for the other two CAD application. Eg:

Code: [Select]

var AXAPP = (_AxApp.AcadApplication)_AcAp.Application.AcadApplication; // COM
for (int iMenuGroup = 0; iMenuGroup < AXAPP.MenuGroups.Count - 0; iMenuGroup++)
{
    if (AXAPP.MenuGroups.Item(iMenuGroup).Name == "xxx")
    {
        _AcAp.Application.ShowAlertDialog("The ribbon is already loaded.");
        bLoadCUI = false;
        break;
    }
}
Does AutoCAD and ZWCAD have a simpler solution like IsMenuGroupLoaded?

You can simplify it a bit by not needing to reference the COM libraries:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. dynamic menugroups = _AcAp.Application.MenuGroups
2. for (int iMenuGroup = 0; iMenuGroup < menugroups.Count; iMenuGroup++)
3. {
4.     if (menugroups.Item(iMenuGroup).Name == "xxx")
5.     {
6.         _AcAp.Application.ShowAlertDialog("The ribbon is already loaded.");
7.         bLoadCUI = false;
8.         break;
9.     }
10. }
