How to change object from context menu?

According to this http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/05/object-specific-context-menu-using-net.html article I tried to add context menu to my object:

 

ContextMenuExtension nodeContextMenu = new ContextMenuExtension();

.... 

Application.AddObjectContextMenuExtension(RXClass.GetClass(typeof(DBPoint)), nodeContextMenu);

 

Next, I found selected object:

 

private static ObjectId GetSelectedObject()

{

  Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

 

  Editor ed = doc.Editor;

 

  PromptSelectionResultacSSPrompt = ed.SelectImplied();

 

  if (acSSPrompt.Status != PromptStatus.OK)

         return  ObjectId.Null;

 

  SelectionSetset = acSSPrompt.Value;

 

  ObjectId[] ids = set.GetObjectIds();

 

  if(ids.Length != 1)

     returnObjectId.Null;

 

  returnids[0];

}

 

Ok, I found it and tried to change properties of selected object:

 

using (Transactiontx = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

{

  DBPoint point = tx.GetObject(selectedObject, OpenMode.ForWrite) asDBPoint;

 

At this line Autocad has been crashed.

 

This line works if I open object ForRead, but I can't open it ForWrite or call

UpgradeOpen.

 

Is it possible to change object from context menu?

 

Thanks,

Pavel.

Hi,

 

By my side, I define two separated classes:

- a class for the context menu with two static methods: Attach() and Detach() to add or remove the context menu and the MenuItem.Click() event handler which calls a command

- a class implementing IextensionApplication to add the context menu at startup in which the command is defined. The command uses the UsePickSet CommandFlag and some PromptSelectionSettings so that it works with a single entity and can be used from the command line or from the context menu.

 

Here's a little sample:

using System;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
using AcAp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;

namespace PointEdit
{
    public class Commands : IExtensionApplication
    {
        public void Initialize()
        {
            ContextMenu.Attach();
        }

        public void Terminate()
        {
            ContextMenu.Detach();
        }

        [CommandMethod("PointEdit", CommandFlags.UsePickSet)]
        public void PointEdit()
        {
            Document doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
            TypedValue[] filter = new TypedValue[1] { new TypedValue(0, "POINT") };
            PromptSelectionOptions pso = new PromptSelectionOptions();
            pso.SingleOnly = true;
            pso.SinglePickInSpace = true;
            pso.SelectEverythingInAperture = true;
            pso.RejectObjectsOnLockedLayers = true;
            PromptSelectionResult psr;
            do
            {
                psr = ed.GetSelection(pso, new SelectionFilter(filter));
                if (psr.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
            } while (psr.Value.Count > 1);
            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                DBPoint pt = (DBPoint)tr.GetObject(psr.Value.GetObjectIds()[0], OpenMode.ForWrite);
                pt.Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByAci, 30);
                tr.Commit();
            }
        }
    }

    class ContextMenu
    {
        private static ContextMenuExtension cme;

        internal static void Attach()
        {
            cme = new ContextMenuExtension();
            MenuItem mi = new MenuItem("PointEdit");
            mi.Click += new EventHandler(Edit);
            cme.MenuItems.Add(mi);
            RXClass rxc = Entity.GetClass(typeof(DBPoint));
            AcAp.AddObjectContextMenuExtension(rxc, cme);
        }

        internal static void Detach()
        {
            RXClass rxc = Entity.GetClass(typeof(DBPoint));
            AcAp.RemoveObjectContextMenuExtension(rxc, cme);
        }

        private static void Edit(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Document doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            doc.SendStringToExecute("POINTEDIT ", true, false, true);
        }
    }
}

Here is one more toy to play with your points:

                return ObjectId.Null;

            SelectionSet set = acSSPrompt.Value;

            ObjectId[] ids = set.GetObjectIds();
