Accessing Global Lisp variable within Dot Net DLL

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Oct 2005 18:03:37 GMT

I use the following code to call a sub in a dot net DLL. Is there a way to
access the value of a global Lisp variable? I don't want to save it to
"users" if i don't have to.

(vl-load-com)
(setq $acad (vlax-get-acad-object))
(setq vbstrcls (vla-GetInterfaceObject $acad
"Elevations.BiFolds"))
(setq out (vlax-invoke-method
vbstrcls
"DrawBiFold"
$acad
fname
(car mod_ins)
(cadr mod_ins)
(- unitID 1)
) ;_ end of vlax-invoke-method
) ;_ end of setq
out
(vlax-release-object vbstrcls)
(vlax-release-object $acad

If you are calling a function in a COM server you wrote,
why not pass the value of the global LISP var to the
method as a parameter?

ROFL. That was bad. As you can see, I'm already passing several variables
already. What a brain burp.

Thanks Tony.
