SendStringToExecute

SendStringToExecute
I'm having a problem with this, if the user has typed
something on the command line, but has not pressed
enter.

Is there any API (C++, undocumented or not) that can
tell me if keystrokes have been typed at the "Command: "
prompt, but enter/space hasn't been pressed?

Maybe 'acedIsInputPending' exported by acad.exe? I've never tried it, but
it's a good bet. 🙂

Hi Owen. Thanks, tried that, no luck.

I know AutoCAD checks this, because it doesn't
respond to mouse clicks in the drawing window if
there's something typed.

Have you tried Application.IsQuiescent ?

If IsQuiescent returns false when keystrokes are on the
command line, why does Editor.LeavingQuiescentState
not fire when the first keystroke is typed?

And, if I erase all of the keystrokes with Backspace,
then shouldn't EnteringQuiescentState fire?

Sound like a bug to me but I suspect it has been this way for long enough
that fixing it would cause harm than good.

Thanks. You might want to make note that when dynamic
input is enabled and keystroke input goes to the edit box
at the cursor, IsQuiescent returns true even when keystrokes
have been entered.
