Equivalent of ACAD GetPoint method

[noort123]

Hello

In ACAD VBA i can just point to a "mouse /input" driven coord in 2D by i.e.

varPoint = ThisDrawing.Utility.GetPoint(, "Give the insertion point of MyBlock in the drawing.")

How can i easily do something similar in a view of an iDW - by means of IV VBA?


Thanks

Unfortunately it's currently not as simple. Get get a mouse click you need
to use the InteractionEvents object and handle MouseEvents. It's not rocket
science, but compared to the single line GetPoint function, there's a lot
more work. The problem is that InteractionEvents and MouseEvents was
designed to do a lot more than just get a mouse click. It's just that you
pay a price that extra functionality in some additional complexity.
