I'm missing something real simple I'm sure

[uncoolperson]

how do i pass a pick point through the right click menu?

autocad electrical has this fancy right click over a block and it figures out what commands are associated with it...

i want to change those commands and pass the block to my own command... without having to actually select the object (just right click over it and go yay!)

you probably need to look at the menu code to see what its doing.
Use the CUI for this.
This is typically not easy or simple...

ID_WDSYMEDIT [&Edit Component ]^C^C^Pwd_react_edsym2


using 2005
that's what's there... put there by the electrical package... if your not familiar with acade, when you right click over a component (block) and select edit you get a fancy shmancy edit dialog... and some magical way it gathers the ent from the right click (or that's what i gather)

i want to replace with my fancier (alittle bit self-absorbed?) dialog.

I've had the same problem and haven't found an answer.

The only way I've been able to do it is to have the user select the object
with the left mouse button and then right-click.

this is the best i've come up with so far... (just use electricals delete component function), which for some odd reason strikes me as the absolutly wrong way to go about this.

You can do this with mouse buttons. See the Customization Guide, Customize
the User Interface, Customize Mouse Buttons, Accept Coordinate Entry in
Button Menus.
