strange problem of double click event

Anonymous — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 13:26:23 GMT

I use activex's double click event to define my own text editor function , but my code is work well only in no form state, once i use my own form , double click event will stop work.

the following is my code :

Albert, thanks very much.
your code works well, but I don't understanding why my code doesn't work. Our code's difference is : I use a static method,you use a instance method.

one more question:
after I run my double click event, the dited object is highlighted, my question is how to make it unhighlighted,otherwise I must press twice esc key.

Albert, when I run your code, it works fine ,but when autocad exit, a error messagebox appeare, it shows "Unhandled Exception E0434F4D(e0434f4dh)" at address 7C81EB33h

Did you run unhooked the even before exiting (by running the command again)?

Frankly, if you want to replace the mtext editor then I wouldn't approach
the problem this way: why don't you redefine the mtedit command like this?
[CommandMethod("mtedit")]

public void DoIt2()

{

AcadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor.WriteMessage("My mtedit
command.");

}

It would be much simpler and more reliable.

1. If I redefine mtedit command , I can't get the object on pickpoint use SelectImplied() method. and more I can't redefine ddedit command, my aids is to hanle all the objects double click event.
2. yes, I run the command again, but the error still exit.

Re: strange problem of double click event

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 04:45:30 GMT

1. You have to specify CommandFlags.UsePickSet like in:
[CommandFlags("mtedit", CommandFlags.Modal | CommandFlags.UsePickSet]
Why can't you redefine the ddedit command? You must undefine it first
because it is a built in command but you should be able to supply your own.

2. I can't reproduce this. I'm not sure what else you have going on in your
environment.

Maybe I don't state clearly, I means I can't change autocad default double click command (ddedit,eattedit,refedit..) )with my command, because
1. autocad alway use .ddedit to response double click event, so my ddedit doesn't work.
2. I can redefine eattedit and refedit, I also use CommandFlags.UsePickSet flag as you say , but again SelectImplied() get nothing object.

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 13:02:56 GMT

I think the best way to realize custom double click command is to use double click event , but as I say befor, the problem is after finish my own command , the object edited is still highlighted and selected , and I must press "esc" key twice to continue my next work.

Re: strange problem of double click event

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 17:39:10 GMT

To use the current selection set in a command, you need
to include CommandFlags.UsePickSet in your command
handler's CommandMethod attribute:

[CommandMethod("YOURCOMMAND", CommandFlags.UsePickSet)]

Re: strange problem of double click event

thanks, Albert. you are really a good man, with your help , I learn many useful things.
I have solved my problem of double click event. through calling a command(my own unhighlight method ) with SendStringToExecute method after my own double click event, I can unhighlight the object edited sucessfully.

but as you suggest , I can call my own double click command through redefine all commands related to double click , I trid ,but only mtext works, others command doesn't work.

when I undefine ddedit command in my lisp,autocad default ddedit command doesn't work in autocad if I directly run ddedit in command line, instead my own ddedit run , but when I double click a text, autocad will run its internal command .ddedit, not run ddedit,so my own ddedit command doesn't work in double click event through this method.

I can redefine eattedit and refedit, I also use CommandFlags.UsePickSet flag as you say , but again SelectImplied() get nothing object.

thanks again .
