Problem with creating custom text edited imension

Hi.

I'm trying to create dimention for my grip point, using custom edited text. For example when I use distance editing by AcDbAlignedDimension class I want to support different measures, so user string "10m" means istance 10 meaters, and string "10mm" means 10 millimeaters and so on.

So I try to use setCustomStringFunc to solve this problem, but my function work only when I enter a numeric value (if I enter another sybol it doesn't called). Here the part of me code:

void MybObject::dim_gripDimensionFunc(AcDbGripData* pThis, const AcDbObjectId& entId, double dimScale, AcDbDimDataPtrArray& arrDimData)

{

AcDbAlignedDimension *pGradeDim = new AcDbAlignedDimension();
pGradeDim->setDatabaseDefaults(acdbHostApplicationServices()->workingDatabase());
pGradeDim->setNormal(AcGeVector3d::kZAxis);
pGradeDim->setElevation(0.0);
pGradeDim->setInspection(false); //As far as I unerstand it might swich off checking of numeric entering

AcDbDimData *pDimData = new AcDbDimData(pGradeDim);
pDimData->setDimFocal(true);
pDimData->setOwnerId(entId);
pDimData->setDimEditable(true);

pDimData->setCustomString(true);
pDimData->setCustomStringFunc(dim_setCustomStringFunc);

//dim_setCustomStringFunc - is my function, which might interpritate entered string, but if I unput something ifferent from //number (for example "10m") it doesn't even call this function!

pDimData->setAppData(pData);
arrDimData.append(pDimData);

}

Thanks.

Can you explain this in more detail please? Also, have you got a sample application to look at?

Finally, can you post some images that show roughly what you are talking about please?

Thanks
