How to handle ENTER

[sgrya1]

How do I handle an ENTER using an existing result?

Dim End1Options As PromptKeywordOptions = New PromptKeywordOptions("Start point condition [Pan/Continuous] <" & sEnd1Condition & ">:", "Pan Continuous")
Dim End1Result As PromptResult = ed.GetKeywords(End1Options) Edited by: sgrya1 on Feb 20, 2010 12:47 AM

[sgrya1]

Dim End1Options As PromptKeywordOptions = New PromptKeywordOptions("Start point condition [Pan/Edge/Dead/Continuous] <">:", "Pan Edge Dead Continuous")
Dim End1Result As PromptResult = ed.GetKeywords(End1Options)

[sgrya1]

why doesn't my post inclide the existing variable?

[arcticad]

the *GreaterThan* and "LessThan* cause the text to disappear.
It's an old problem. Thanks Autodesk.

See the 'Default' property of the Keyword collection.

Hi,

I don't yet know how to access that. Is it something like

If End1Result = "" then
or
If End1Result = Keyword.Equals ??
or
If End1Result.Keyword =

Sorry, you need to learn to use the programming langauge.

This isn't the best place to do that.

It's a fairly common event in AutoCAD. Less common without a control to feed the KeyPress or Key down event handler.

I don't know .NET very well yet but this problem is still very applicable to this forum.

[sgrya1]

Dim EndOptions As PromptKeywordOptions = New PromptKeywordOptions("Start point condition [Pan/Continuous] <">:", "Pan Continuous")
EndOptions.AllowNone=True
Dim EndResult As PromptResult = ed.GetKeywords(EndOptions)

If EndResult.StringValue = "" Then

Be interested if it can be done as easily without using AutoCAD specific coding.

'This problem' is that you don't have the prerequisites, which is a reasonable
understanding of the programming language, and that is not applicable to this
forum.

I told you to set the 'Default' property of the KeywordCollection object
(accessed via the Keywords property of the PromptKeywordOptions object), and you
couldn't manage to figure that out.

Wasn't sure which property of which object you were talking about.
Could have been a bit clearer but instead decided to flame me for my ignorance and tell me to look elsewhere.

EndOptions.AllowNone=True

If EndResult.StringValue = "" Then

You may feel like Tony is flaming you but he is giving you valuable advice.

You really do need to get a complete handle on the .NET Language you are using before attempting to use the AutoCAD .NET API.

This is the path I took when switching over from VBA and I know it has given me an advantage in learning to program with the AutoCAD .NET API over those that come here and Tony gives the same advice he is giving you.

[sgrya1]

I think it was reasonable query and the right place to post it.

A reply saying See the 'Default' property of the Keyword collection isn't very clear and not very helpful. Which property on which object?

.Net isn't that far different to VBA. I've almost transitioned a very large project with the aid of a few tutorials but there are just a few things I need help with.

[sgrya1]

Tony,

I've finally figured out what you were saying but a one line response could have saved a lot of grief and been very helpful.

End1Options.Keywords.Default = sEnd1Condition

By 'Default' I was thinking that there is a default settings for everyone of the properties. Not that there was a actual Default input setting for the Prompt which VBA didn't use.

I don't think I could have worked that one out without getting a clear explaination here.

Thanks.

AFAIK, It was clear enough for any person of average intelligence.

Now that I understand that default was used as a noun and not an adjective I see it too. Edited by: sgrya1 on Feb 22, 2010 12:58 PM
