WPF Palette get loaded sucessfully but can not see close button, auto hide or properties menu on palette

Re : WPF palette inside auto cad: close button ,auto hide button does not get di

Hi,

It looks like you don't have a good understanding on how an enum (PaletteSetStyles) with the Flags attribute works.

See this topic (last examples talk about the Flags atttribute).

autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton    ' style is set to  8
autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton ' style is reset to 2
autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.Snappable          ' style is reset to 32
' finally style = 32 (only Snappable)

I don't know much about VB syntax, but the commented line in you code (using 'or') should work.

' set style to 8 or 2 or 32 = 42
autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton Or _
    PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton Or _
    PaletteSetStyles.Snappable

@_gile, I tried using or syntax which is equivalent to "|" in C# I think.

But it does not work.

Can you please through some more light?

@_gile

As per post ,

autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton Or PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton Or PaletteSetStyles.Snappable

Above statement should work right?

But it does not!!!

Please help

Thanks,

Pankaj

If you have many: autocadPaletteset.Style = <something> successive expressions, the last one will overwrite all the previous settings.

You have to put all the settings in a single expression:

autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton Or _
    PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton Or _
    PaletteSetStyles.Snappable Or _
    PaletteSetStyles.ShowPropertiesMenu Or  _
    PaletteSetStyles.ShowTabForSingle

In a case like this, perhaps zip your solution and post it here so anyone who chooses to look at your issue won't have to guess about possible causes for your errors.

This works for me:

        Public Sub myfirstudercontrol()
            Dim doc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
            Dim ed As Editor = doc.Editor
            Dim firstadd As Boolean = False

            If autocadPaletteset = Nothing Then
                autocadPaletteset = New PaletteSet("Modify attributes", New Guid("{773D4B0E-98A8-4AB4-9711-D80898DE40C0}"))
                autocadPaletteset.Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton Or
                    PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton Or
                    PaletteSetStyles.Snappable Or
                    PaletteSetStyles.ShowPropertiesMenu Or
                    PaletteSetStyles.ShowTabForSingle

                Dim elementhost As ElementHost = New ElementHost
                elementhost.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
                Dim UC2 As New View_ATT
                elementhost.Child = UC2
                autocadPaletteset.Dock = DockSides.None
                autocadPaletteset.DockEnabled = DockSides.None
                'autocadPaletteset.AddVisual("Modify", UC2)
                autocadPaletteset.Add("P", elementhost)
                firstadd = True
                autocadPaletteset.Visible = True
