Open winform by button in the ribbon

w.pepping — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 17:35:26 GMT

I am trying to open a form within a dll I created in VB.NET.

I want to do this with a button in the ribbon.

When I click on the button 'StartForm' is entered in the command line.

The problem is that I have to press the 'return' button before the form is displayed. Can this 'return' also be done automatic?

<Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("StartForm")> Public Sub xForm() Dim sfd As New Form1 Application.ShowModelessDialog(sfd) End Sub

Hi,

You should show the command macro of your ribbon button.

^C^CStartform;

should work.

Thank you Gilles, you have put me in the right direction. I had no succes with your solution, but after a search on ^C^C, I found a post with the suggestion to place an empty char after the parameter-string : “StartForm “.
It works now.

The semicolon ";" in Gilles answer does the same thing as a space, but it's easier to see and not miss.
