Hi all,

Does anybody know if it is possible to add the Properties Palette to a custom made palette set in .NET? And how to do this?

Thanks!

Hi,

So do you want to include the property pallete inside your custom pallete? Never saw it, altough you can implement a similar feature on your palette using the Selection Implied event.

If is the other way, take a look at http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2008/11/adding-custom-p.html

Hi,

Yes I want to add the properties palette to a custom palette set. I've managed to do the same for the calculator (found an example here: http://forums.autodesk.com/autodesk/attachments/autodesk/152/26712/1/CP205-2_Mike_Tuersley.pdf )

I'm using AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 x64 by the way.

The code for adding the calculator looks something like this: (I had to reference AcCalcUi.dll to the project)

'IMPORTS FOR ADDING CALCULATOR TO PALETTESET
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.CalculatorUI
Imports CalcDialogCreator


Public Class myCommands
  Friend Shared m_ps As PaletteSet = Nothing

 <CommandMethod("MarelPallette")> Public Sub MarelPallette()
    If m_ps = Nothing Then
      m_ps = New PaletteSet("Marel")
      m_ps.Add("BeamPlan", New uscBeamPlan)
      m_ps.Add("Building Provisions", New uscBuildingProvisions)

      'CODE FOR ADDING CALCULATOR TO PALETTESET
      Dim ucCalc As New System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
      ucCalc = New CalculatorControl.AcCalcCalcCtrl(ucCalc)
      m_ps.Add("Calculator", ucCalc)

    End If
    m_ps.Visible = True
  End Sub

Now I was wondering if there is a similar option for adding the properties palette to my palette set.

Best Regards,

Joris
