CommandManager.Pick bug with ESC key

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 18:29:03 GMT

Hi all,

I discovered a bug with the CommandManager.Pick method.

When 2 Pick command follow each other, if I press on [Esc] key, the KeyDown event cancels the first Pick command and the KeyUp event cancels the next one.

You can reproduce this behavior by inserting 2 parts in assembly and run this iLogic code (press [Esc] key instead of selecting part):

Dim message As String

For index = 1 To 10
	message = "Pick #" & index
	ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAssemblyOccurrenceFilter, message)
Next

The result: all the even are skipped.

Does someone had a workaround? (I thought to catch the KeyDown event and ignore it.)

Thanks,

Pascal

The keyboard events are disabled when the Pick command is activated. So, my workaround doesn't work.

I would like to have some solution for this effect as well. I want to let the user either select something or press escape to use a suggested default selection, twice in a row. Selecting something using the InteractionEvents has the same issue.

I work with Inventor Professional 2018 64-Bit Edition release 2018.2.3
