Topic: Connection Name

[Andrea]

Hi all..

Is it possible to retreive the connection name vis LISP
like showed in FIELD option ?

[whdjr]

My spanish (I hope this is Spanish) is not good at all.
What is 'connection name'?  Is that like 'loginname'?

Maybe look at environment variables, 'getenv'.

Your French must not be very good either.   

But I must admit I can't quite parse the question, either.

Are you trying to access the name of the current plot device from Lisp?

oops

OK...

Sorry...I have installed the English version of 2006 only to show you this screen...

Note:
The "Andrea Andreetti" is my name....and not my LOGINNAME.
also, can i use the Field expression in lisp ?

[whdjr]

You can use the Field expression in lisp as long as you are supplying the expression for text input ie: mtext, text, attributes,..

[Andrea]

thanks...

But if i need to put     %<\AcVar Login \f "%tc4">%
in a variable.. ?

(setq var1 "%<\AcVar Login \f \"%tc4\">%")

!var1 = Andrea Andreetti  ?

[whdjr]

Andrea,

The reason it doesn't work is because of the " in the expression.  The command line is treating it like the end of a string.

I forgot to answer 

Andrea, You can get the current user name via Windows Script Host from Vlisp, exactly through the WScript.Network class:

Code: [Select]

(defun UserName (/ wsn)
  (setq wsn (vlax-create-object "WScript.Network"))
  (vlax-get-property wsn "UserName")
)
You could get the computer name and user domain too:

Code: [Select]

(defun PCdats (/ wsn un cn ud)
  (setq wsn (vlax-create-object "WScript.Network"))
  (setq un (vlax-get-property wsn "UserName")
cn (vlax-get-property wsn "ComputerName")
ud (vlax-get-property wsn "UserDomain")
  )
  (alert
    (strcat "User Name:\t" un
    "\nComputer Name:\t"cn
    "\nUser Domain:\t" ud
    )
  )
)
