How to regen(acAllViewports) with vb.net?

Anonymous — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:54:42 GMT

I've been trying to get my "view" to regen after I thaw selected
layers, but have only gotten a partial solution..

editor.regen()

That works fine for the active space, but i need a way to regen
everything.

I found a few methods posted here by Tony, but couldn't figure out how
to get them to work in vb.net (I guess they are in another .net
language).

some help would be appreciated.

Why is it that Regen does not show up as a method for the AcadDocument object?

In Visual Studio 2008, when you hit the period after AcadDocument, you get a popup of all available methods/properties/etc, but Regen is not in the list. Unless I made a mistake but I was fairly careful???

Look at the type of the Document's AcadDocument
property, and see if you can figure out why.

Ah, because it is a generic object. Do you know why do they do that?

I always wondered why Excel VBA never gives you anything and this explains it. For example, if you type "ActiveSheet." you get nothing. But if you do this:
{code}Dim ss As Excel.Worksheet
Set ss = ActiveSheet{code}
Then if you type "ss.", you get all of the methods/etc.

So, after searching for Regen in the Object Browser, I think I can do the following:
{code}Dim AcadDoc as Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document
Dim DocEditor as Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput.Editor

AcadDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
DocEditor = AcadDoc.AcadDocument
DocEditor.Regen(1){code}
So now Regen shows up when you hit "." but it doesn't show as accepting a parameter???

The reason they don't use the COM types, is because they don't want
acmdg.dll and acdbmdg.dll to have any depencence on the COM interop type
library dlls, which would be bad because the COM libraries are
version-specific.

If you want to use the COM libraries you can but beware that if you do, you
may not be able to use the same assembly in different product releases
because of that.
