Running a program freezes my layout tabs

GeeHaa — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 21:37:42 GMT

I wrote a small auto numbering program that works fine only it freezes the layout tabs every time it is run. Hitting regen gets them back, Has anyone else run into this? I am running AutoCAD 2010. The program was written in VB.Net express 2008.

Thanks

Not a problem I've seen before. Hard to say what you did wrong without seeing any code.

Sorry I couldn't post my code. I feltl I would have to post the whole project. But I found the answer. I was using Form1.showdialog to show the form. If I use Application.showmodaldialog(form1) it doesn't freeze the layout tabs.

Thanks

That's correct. You should being using the Autocad application.show..... Dialogs.

They are the correct method for displaying forms. Way to go!
