Open Text Editor for Single Line Text(DBText)

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 08:59:14 GMT

I have a plugin that selects only DBText using a filter. I want to open the text editor when I select the DBText.

 Dim acent As DBText = acTrans.GetObject(acSSObj.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)

I want to call the Text Editor in this DB Text.

What command do I use to open the text editor for the DBText?

Thanks in advance!

ed.Command("_.TEXTEDIT", acSSObj.ObjectId)

where ed is a reference to the document editor object.

I already tried that but it doesn't work.

Thank you for your effort, I have found the solution.

I have answered my own question, as usual! Haha

Dim acent As DBText = acTrans.GetObject(acSSObj.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
Dim ids As ObjectId() = New ObjectId(-1) {}
InplaceTextEditor.Invoke(acent, ids)

That command invokes the InPlaceText Editor on the Object you call.

Any Kudos? Hehe

Can someone please explain this line of code

Dim ids as ObjectId() = New ObjectId(-1) {}

It's to do with the InplaceTextEditor.Invoke command.

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

This is an empty ObjectId array which is required as reference parameter by InPlaceEditor.Invoke() method.

C# signature:

public static void Invoke(DBText text, ref ObjectId[] appendedEntities);

VB signature:

Public Shared Sub Invoke(text As DBText, ByRef appendedEntities As ObjectId())

I understand the Objectid() variable, but what I'm interested in the ObjectId(-1) {}, this must select the last, current or previous item?

Thanks

This is one of the different ways to create an empty array with VB.
