Hi James,

I'm usually not that verbose ... the pills are kicking in I think ..

Murphys law says someone will have to ask sooner or later, just getting in sooner I s'pose :-)

yeah , lsp and odc are in the search path only. but it shows the error as

" OBJECTDCL COULD NOT ABLE TO FOUND"

iam thinking that the problem is related to objectdcl.arx. how can i find the suitable objectdcl to opendcl 4.0

iam using

Autocad map 2004
opendcl 4.0
objectdcl2004.arx
can u help me to solve

I'm no programmer, but now the members that can program have something to look at, they will be able to help you sort it out.

viva,

first try these, and post the results ...

(findfile "Images.ODC")

(FINDFILE "OpenDCL_ARXLoader.LSP")

(FINDFILE "OpenDCL.16.arx")

(ODCL_GETVERSIONEX)


Then, change this
(Odcl_LoadProject "images_QC")
to
(Odcl_LoadProject "images")
.... which is the actual NAME of your ODC file
Title: Re: OpenDCL
Post by: Kerry on May 03, 2007, 04:56:58 AM
Next,

Your File is named Images
your form is named Form1
your button is named TextButton5

Each control is addressed by its name ...
so the Form address is Images_Form1
and the button address is Images_Form1_TextButton5
See the Picture :--

Title: Re: OpenDCL
Post by: Kerry on May 03, 2007, 05:06:12 AM
... so the project is loaded with :

(ODCL_LOADPROJECT "images")


the form is displayed with :-

(ODCL_FORM_SHOW images_Form1)


The button is enabled with
(Odcl_Control_SetEnabled images_Form1_TextButton5 T)

So the Code becomes :
Code: [Select]
(DEFUN c:Images1_QC ()

   ;;(ODCL_LOADPROJECT "images" T)
   
   (ODCL_LOADPROJECT "images")
   (ODCL_FORM_SHOW images_Form1)

   (Odcl_Control_SetEnabled images_Form1_TextButton5 T)
   (princ)
)
... and this is the dialog loaded ..

i am thinking that the problem is related to objectdcl.arx.

You also appear to be mixing OpenDCL and ObjectDCL

..
opendcl 4.0
objectdcl2004.arx ...

objectdcl2004.arx <<<<<<<< The ARX for AC2004 is OpenDCL.16.ARX

If you add something like this to the top of your file, the correct ARX will be loaded.
Note that  OpenDCL_ARXLoader.LSP must be found on the CAD search path.

... only needs to be run once per session.
ADDED: or the .ARX file can be loaded manually or at Startup ..

Code: [Select]
;; Ensure the OpenDCL.##.ARX is loaded.
(OR (VL-SYMBOL-VALUE 'ODCL_GETVERSIONEX)
    (AND (SETQ tmpfn (FINDFILE "OpenDCL_ARXLoader.LSP"))
         (LOAD tmpfn (STRCAT "Failed to load :- " tmpfn))
    )
    (ALERT (STRCAT "Failed to load OpenDCL_ARXLoader.LSP"))
    (EXIT)
)

(PROMPT (STRCAT "\n CommandLine : < YOUR COMMAND NAME>  [Build 20070503 kwb] "
                "ODCL.Ver:"
                (ODCL_GETVERSIONEX)
                " \n"
        )
)

I have noticed that there are a couple of sites around that offer downloads of ObjectDCL in various forms .. even one in the Netherlands using the 3Day name ... quite amusing (NOT).
