classof — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 04:42:21 GMT

Hello~

I study dotnet.

so, I referenced "AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide".

but, I have a problem. I don't know why.

below code has Error.

below code copied from "AutoCAD .NET Developer's Guide".

please help me.

using System;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using System.Drawing;

namespace ClassLibrary1
{
    public class Class1
    {
        [CommandMethod("MinMaxApplicationWindow")]
        public static void MinMaxApplicationWindow()
        {
            // Minimize the Application window
            Application.MainWindow.WindowState = Window.State.Minimized; //Error
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Minimized", "MinMax",
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.None,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification);

            // Maximize the Application window
            Application.MainWindow.WindowState = Window.State.Maximized;   //Error
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Maximized", "MinMax");

Remove using System;

or

[CommandMethod("MinMaxApplicationWindow")]
        public static void MinMaxApplicationWindow()
        {
            // Minimize the Application window
            Application.MainWindow.WindowState = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window.State.Minimized;  //Error
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Minimized", "MinMax",
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.None,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1,
                        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification);

            // Maximize the Application window
            Application.MainWindow.WindowState = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window.State.Maximized;   //Error
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Maximized", "MinMax");

        }

Although when you build it the compiler should figure out which Window namespace you are refering to. So try building it first.

 System.Windows.Window

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window

Jeffrey_H

thank you..

I followed your answer. so I removed "using system". but not solved.

"Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window. has not "State".

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window.(ReferenceEquals / GetDeviceIndependentScale / Equals / Create)

It has not "State".

anyway thanks your reply.

Have you tried compiling it. Press F6 or use the toolbar.

That code worked fine pasted into my project. What version of AutoCAD are you using?

chiefbraincloud..

thaks your reply..

I have been using AutoCad 2009 and "VS2008 express"

That is the problem. In 2010 AutoCAD the Object Browser shows this:

WindowState() As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Window.State

but in 2009, it expects a:

System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState

So if you change your code to use the System Enum, it will work. (I tested it in 2009)
