TEXTEDIT Commandended handler not working in 2017

SRSDS — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 12:32:31 GMT

Hi,

For some reason the commandended event handler is not reacting to the TEXTEDIT command in AutoCAD 2017 (and VS2015).

Other events react but not TEXTEDIT for some reason. And it reacts on previous versions of Autocad just not 2017.

Has there been a change in 2017 where I need to use a different reactor for this event?

It works for me when I use ArxDbg (in the context menu, Reactors, System, Editor Reactor, On).

I didn't know about this feature of ArxDbg before. Thanks for showing me that.

It does react to the event but not the Command Ended event for some reason.

So I do see:

[ED REACTOR] : [Command Will Start: TEXTEDIT]

Do you get a command ended event?

Yes, I've a command ended event. Please note that if the command is canceled, the command ended event will be replaced by a command canceled event.

Hi,

I made a simple try and it works for me

        private bool handled;

        [CommandMethod("CMDENDEDTOGGLE")]
        public void CmdEndedToggle()
        {
            var doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            if (handled)
                doc.CommandEnded -= Doc_CommandEnded;
            else
                doc.CommandEnded += Doc_CommandEnded; 
            handled = !handled;
            doc.Editor.WriteMessage($"\nCommandEnded event handled = {handled}");
        }

        private void Doc_CommandEnded(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.GlobalCommandName == "TEXTEDIT")
            AcAp.ShowAlertDialog("TEXTEDIT command ended.");
        }

I understand what's going on now.

I have the TEXTEDIT mode set to multiple instead of single.

The TEXTEDIT command allows you to edit multiple pieces of text one after the other.

You can press ESCAPE when you're done editing. Or you can press ENTER to complete the command.

ESCAPE triggers the CommandCanceled event rather than registering that a command has been completed.

ENTER does trigger CommandEnded.

Maybe this was the case in previous AutoCAD and I just didn't realize it.

I'll trap the event in both Cancelled and Ended. Or get the program to change the edit mode to single.

Thankyou for the hints!
