Re: The right way to show modal and modeless dialogs in AutoCAD using .NET

ian — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:56:18 -0000

Using the windows API call during the Mybase.load event is a great way to swap out the icon.

I ended up following the last example in this blog post on how to embed icons in a VB.NET application.

http://www.codeproject.com/...

I need to figure out how to swap the icon with AutoCAD's OpenFileDialog in my code, but that is lower on my priority list at the moment.

Re: The right way to show modal and modeless dialogs in AutoCAD using .NET

Sorry for commenting on another old blog post, but i have a quick question.

I've migrated all of my code to use ShowModalDialog from window's ShowDialog to take advantage of the points listed in this blog post.

I was wondering if there is any way to override inheriting AutoCAD's icon?

We've used our own window icon for our product for quite awhile now and i would like to continue that with the migration to vb.net.

Thanks!

Thanks again for answering my questions!

Hello Kean

Sorry to comment on another old blog post, but i was wondering if there is any documentation for using the core console now that it's been around for a while?

I was also wondering if it's possible to run the core console in the background while acad.exe is running.

The video that Balaji Ramamoorthy did for DevTV is pretty darn cool by the way. http://youtu.be/ars7ZnCqpVA

Thanks for your time. These blogs are really helpful!

Re: Calling AutoCAD commands from .NET

Thanks for the reply Kean!

I'm glad to hear that 2015 has added those controls over how commands can be executed.

I will have to check them out.

In the meantime, i'll have to figure something out for the older editions of AutoCAD. We have to support down to 2012.

Hello Kean!

I had a quick question.

As Artvegas pointed out, setting commandflags.session is a good way to ensure that any calls using sendcommand() will be executed sequentially.

I was wondering if there is a way to force sendcommand to execute sequentially when it's being used in the context of defining a Lispfunction?

Thanks!

They do have a online browser/mobile AutoCAD system called AutoCAD WS that is free with could based storage.

Maybe it's an expansion of that.

I hope it's the adaptive sketching system that was shown in 2008.

I remember watching that when i first found Solid smack. Awesome stuff!!!

i also love #13.

in particular the line "You may have a fancier title or degree, but that does not make you better."

It drives me nuts when other Engineers have the attitude that they are smarter, better, and know it all because they got a piece of paper.

Having the humility to treat machinists and techs as equal humans who can teach you more about design that any stupid class is the most important thing i learned while getting my BSME.

2 blocks from ground zero =/= ground zero.

a rec center =/= a mosque.

This guy needs classes in basic logic.

He's usually a clean cut guy.

His beard + hair and exhaustion are telling signs that he took his job seriously.
