AcEdViewCube-like drawable

[loic.jourdan]

Hi,

I'd like to create a custom drawable that behaves as the AcEdViewCube:

 - no z-buffer display (solved)

 - clickable

I've created a custom drawable class displayed using AcGiTransientManager; this solved the first point (no z-buffer); but I have no idea on how capture click event as AcEdViewCube does; I suppose I can get a 'mousemove' equivalent by implementing an input poin monitor but I have no idea on how to capture a click.

Thank you

Hi loic,

The transient graphics does not allow selection.

A possible way to do this could be to use acedRegisterFilterWinMsg to install a callback and then process the message as required. This blog post uses this method although for a little different purpose (to handle key press)

Thank you very much, not as straightforward as I hoped but well enought!
