Modeless dialog/Insertion point

[jernej.carl]

I have modeless dialog. On dialog I have button on which user clicks, when he wants to pick insertion point. Problem is when I exit dialog the command line is still in command GetPoint (doesn't show usual Command:). How can I solve this problem? My code at the moment is:

           // this.Visible = false;

            AppServ.Document adoc = AppServ.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
           AppServ.DocumentLock dl = adoc.LockDocument();

            Editor ed = adoc.Editor;
            using (ed.StartUserInteraction(this))
            {
                PromptPointOptions ppo = new PromptPointOptions("Pick Point:");
                PromptPointResult respt = ed.GetPoint(ppo);
                if (respt.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
                {

                       //Do something
                }
                dwg.Dispose();
            }

            dl.Dispose();
           // this.Visible = !this.Visible;

Hi carl,

Kan you tell me how you invoke your command to display the modeless form?

Are you using a commandmethod or are you invoking a method directly from your class???

When your invoking a method thats the problem. All commands need to be invoked trough a commandmethod attribbute.

Otherwise you will get this strange behavior of the command line.

kind regards,

irvin

Somehow like this:

    public void dialog()
    {     

       Dlg dlg = new Dlg();

       dlg.Show(new WindowWrapper(AcadApp.MainWindow.Handle));

    }

    [CommandMethod("Test")]
    static public void Test()
    {
         dialog();
    }

[Irvin]

can you post an image of the command line?

[jernej.carl]

It looks like this when I close dialog (this.Close()).

Hi,

if I understand you right then invoking acedPostCommandPrompt will help, look >>>this<<<

HTH, - alfred -

[Irvin]

this.close is called by a button?

[jernej.carl]

Yes, by button on the modeless form.

Looking at the code you use when startting user interaction please look at this.

//Editor ed = AcadAppServ.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
            using (AcadAppServ.DocumentLock docLock = AcadAppServ.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.LockDocument())
                using( EditorUserInteraction edUsrInt = ed.StartUserInteraction(this))
                {
                  
                    PromptPointOptions prPtOpts = new PromptPointOptions("\nPlease select a point to place the ellipse:");
                    PromptPointResult prPtRes = ed.GetPoint(prPtOpts);

                    Utilities.AddEllipse(prPtRes.Value);

                    prPtOpts.Message = "\nPlease select a point to place the circle:";
                    prPtRes = ed.GetPoint(prPtOpts);

                    Utilities.AddCircle(prPtRes.Value);
                    edUsrInt.End();
                }

I think the problem is caused nod ending the userinteraction edUsrInt.End()

Irvin and Alfred, thanks for replies. At the moment I tried Alfreds suggestion and it works. Imported ObjectARX/LISP command "acedPostCommandPrompt()" does the trick. I will also try Irvins last suggestion if it works. Thanks again.

BTW, you have equivalent function in .NET

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.PostCommandPrompt();

[jernej.carl]

Even better. I will try it. Thanks!
