AutoCAD command prompt text disapear

[andre_adc-dao]

Hi everybody,

I've developed a custom insert block command. The first one insert a block from a dialog box like the INSERT command. Everything work fine. Now I created a palette with a list of block. When I click one, my custom insertion command is issue. The block is insert correctly but after insert, the text "Command:" is not displaying at the command line (I see only the text issue by my command with WriteMessage) but I can type another command with no problem.

If I send an escape string, the text is back again but I see *cancel* at command line, so it is not very elegant.

Anybody have an idea?

Regards,

André

Hi,

depending on the AutoCAD release, for newer ones:

        Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.Utils.PostCommandPrompt

if that does not exist, then for older releases

        <DllImport("acad.exe", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, EntryPoint:="?acedPostCommand@@YAHPB_W@Z")> _
        Public Function acedPostCommand32(ByVal CommandStr As String) As Integer
        End Function
        <DllImport("acad.exe", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, EntryPoint:="?acedPostCommand@@YAHPEB_W@Z")> _
        Public Function acedPostCommand64(ByVal CommandStr As String) As Integer
        End Function

Well, doing the P/Invoke gets what you want, you can do it even easier with the managed API equivalent directly:

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