Problem with Prompt Keywords

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 17:35:41 GMT

Hi All,

I was just making a user prompt prcedure, but faced a strange problem. when I add Keywords to my prompt options, the code doesn't work at all.
This is the code:

Dim ed As Editor = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor

Dim prpipedata As PromptStringOptions = New PromptStringOptions("Select Property")
Dim prpipedata_res As PromptResult = Nothing

prpipedata.Keywords.Add("Label")
prpipedata.Keywords.Add("Section")

prpipedata_res = ed.GetString(prpipedata)

If prpipedata_res.Status = PromptStatus.Cancel Then
MsgBox("Error: user cancelled")
Else
MsgBox(prpipedata_res.StringResult)
End If

This code works well only when I eliminate the two lines which assign keywords to the Prompt Options, can anybody help?

In the PromptOptions.SetMessageAndKeywords(..., ...) method's doc says:
"The display keywords portion of messageAndKeywords must be surrounded by an opening square bracket ("[") at the beginning and a closing square bracket ("]") at the end. The keywords in this list must be delimited by a forward slash character ("/")."
So it may work if you replace the string "Select Property" with the following string:
"Select Property[Label/Section]"
I' don't have access to VS right now so I can;t test it, but try it.

Keywords with GetString() ?

If you want to obtain only keyword input, then
you use GetKeyword(), not GetString().
