Toolbar and acedCommand()

[Robert-]

Hello,



when I call an acedCommand implemented in a certain procedure through the acad command line or menu (*.mns file) it works without problems. But when I call the acedcommand through a toolbar or modeless dialog it returns the error code -5001.



Could somebody help to solve this problem?



with kind regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

acedCommand(), acedInvoke(), and acedCmd() cannot be used from a
class=highlight>modeless
window. This is because your
class=highlight>modeless window has its own message loop to
process
Windows' messages. Your modeless window
runs asynchronously from the AutoCAD
code.

Instead of doing direct
call into AutoCAD from your modeless window, send
an
expression on the AutoCAD command line to request AutoCAD to start a
command,
which can then do an optional
class=highlight>acedCommand() call. You can do this using
sendStringToExecute().

Thanks for your advice. But I have still some problems.
So I call sendStringToExecute:

acDocManager->sendStringToExecute(acDocManager->document(acdbHostApplicationServices()->workingDatabase()), "\nSEARCHOBJECT", TRUE, FALSE, FALSE);



At the first call the autocad help is opened. In the command line is "_help" executed. At the second and all following calls my command "searchobject" is executed correctly.

When I use sendStringToExecute without "\n" my command is not executed. It is only pasted invisibly in the command line. I have to press enter to execute it.

Does there for exists a solvation?

Instead of "\nSEARCHOBJECT" use "SEARCHOBJECT\n"

You are passing a carriage return in front of the command string,
but it should appear after it.
