Don't know about awesome but I'm stubborn and determined.
IMO Thats a part from the definition of being awesome programmer.
The original was actually a dll I wrote using Visual Studio 6 enterprise. Mid 90's. It was slick and very graphical (icons for each data type) using a listview widget and was good for a couple versions, then knackered by Autodesk. Rewrote it in lisp exploiting a std type library dll. Worked for years then knackered again. Rewrote again in 2010 pure lisp. Fingers crossed its not knackered for awhile.
So you were rolling with a few languages, I thought once you started with one language you continue(d) with it.

Sounds interesting (for me - a person that never opened ACAD till 2010's)
I'm not gonna reveal when I was born to make you feel old, so Lets just say you are very experienced (append valuable).  :-o

Thanks for the complimentary thoughts. LISP was technically my fourth language if I get to count ladder logic. As for feeling old, worry not, the snow on the roof and sidewalk is a constant reminder. :cry:

I remember a time when a whiff of a hint was appreciated.

don't get me started ....

Essentially yes .. which is incredible since it is an object without volition.

Nicely done. Reminds me of my old dll version. But nicer.

Yes,...Thank you..is on the list..

if you notice,...when I clic on some #<Variant.... I use functions to get result..
so,..I'll do same thing for many other selection, like showing directly some info in AutoCAD.
I want to add also to allow to modify few value.. :)

Thanks, did notice the mouse gesturing :) and best of luck with editing properties -- it can become a rabbit hole of validation.

I really liked LM's suggestion, but was annoyed that it crashes on LWPOLYLINES / SPLINES, because of a properties with values of "...Indexed contents not shown...", so I performed the following modification (the hammer approach):

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (if (eq 'VLA-OBJECT (type obj))
  2.   (append
  3.     (list
  4.       (mapcar
  5.         (function
  6.           (lambda ( prp / prpval )
  7.             (if (not (vl-catch-all-error-p (setq prpval (vl-catch-all-apply 'vlax-get (list obj prp)))))
  8.               (list prp prpval)
  9.               (list prp nil)
  10.             )
  11.           )
  12.         )
  13.         (_GetObjectProperties obj)
  14.       )
  15.     )
  16.     (if mth (list (_GetObjectMethods obj)))
  17.   )
  18. )
  19.  

Soo for example when you have such property:
Code: [Select]
;   Coordinate = ...Indexed contents not shown...The list will turn it to:
Code: [Select]
("Coordinate" nil)
HTH, sorry for bumping this thread.

By the way Andrea, I had a similar idea. However I'm a "hobby programmer" so wrote only this (BrowseThruDictionaries - starting from the namedobjdict):
<snip>
You may be interested in this post then, as it is an entity walker program (not a full as MP's though): https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=51751.0
Once the code is loaded, you can look through the NamedObjDict like
(ChaseEntData (NamedObjDict))

Tim is an awesome programmer and artist.
Thanks MP (for the compliment and all the help along the way).
