Help with persistent palette set.

Hello

 

I am trying to create a custom palette that will load whenever Autocad loads.  The code below works with one exception.

 

 <CommandMethod("gtPalette")> _
        Public Sub DoIt()
            If m_ps = Nothing Then
                Dim MYGuid As Guid = New Guid("{4AECF36F-C7E9-4C59-B72B-36A98DDA1D24}")
                m_ps = New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet("gtPalette", MYGuid)
                myCoordPalette = New UserControl1()
                m_ps.Add("Coordinate List", myCoordPalette)
            End If
            m_ps.Visible = True
        End Sub

 The problem is that my Palette title is now "gtPalette"  which I do not want.  However if I change 

 

PaletteSet("gtPalette", MYGuid)

to 

PaletteSet("GunTech Cogo", MYGuid)

Then what occurs is that when Acad (actually I'm using Civil 3D 2012) start it trys to execute a command called 'GunTech' and then one called "cogo'.  Cogo being a valid Civil 3d Command brings up the Cogo dialog.  If I then type the command gtPalette it appears in the correct location.

 

Currently on my development PC the first code works perfect and brings up a palette that even has the correct title of "GunTech Cogo".  this info has presumable been saved with the GUID in my previous attempts to get the code to work.  (this is the first time I've ever used a GUID so I'm a bit out of my depth here)

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

David

Hi,

 

try (with a new Guid)

 

    <CommandMethod("gtPalette")> _
        Public Sub DoIt()
            If m_ps = Nothing Then
                Dim MYGuid As Guid = New Guid("{4AECF36F-C7E9-4C59-B72B-36A98DDA1D24}")
                m_ps = New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet("gtPalette", MYGuid)
                m_ps.Name = "GunTech Cogo"
                myCoordPalette = New UserControl1()
                m_ps.Add("Coordinate List", myCoordPalette)
            End If
            m_ps.Visible = True
End sub
