.Net equivalent to Esc key

[Anonymous]

Hi all

Rewriting old VBA code in .Net C#. Strugeling with finding a way to send Esc key. Chr(27) worked fine in VBA.

This VBA code is updating the block definition but aborts by Esc key before insertion.

ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("-insert" + vbLf + "STREAM003=C:/CAD/GDIR/Library/STREAM/STREAM003.DWG" + vbLf + "y" + vbLf + Chr(27))

Tried the same using ACADCMD but this results in 'Requires numeric distance or two points.' in the commandline.

ResultBuffer rb = newResultBuffer();

rb.Add(newTypedValue(5005, "-INSERT"));

rb.Add(newTypedValue(5005, BlockString));

rb.Add(newTypedValue(5005, "y"));

rb.Add(newTypedValue(5005, (char)27));

acedCmd(rb.UnmanagedObject);

Any ideas?

Try this one

            ResultBuffer rb = new ResultBuffer();

            rb.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Text, "-INSERT"));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Text, BlockString));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Text, "y"));

            rb.Add(new TypedValue((int)LispDataType.Text, @"^C"));

            acedCmd(rb.UnmanagedObject);

Sorry, didn't work.

Typing ^C in AutoCAD commandline during an command doesn't help either, so I think we're barking up the wrong tree.

Hi again

Got it working by using

ads_queueexpr("(command \"-insert\" \"" + BlockString + "\" \"y\" ^C)");

Thanks for pointing me at the right tree afterall.

Cheers
