MFC forms and selecting points

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Feb 2004 17:31:15 GMT

I have a button on a MFC form that allows a user to pick a point. When the button is clicked Autocad minimizes and locks up. The prompt asking the user to select a point is displayed. The code I am using is below. Is there a different way to do this? void CTestDlg::OnBnClickedStartpoint() { int rc; AcGePoint3d startpt,p; startpt.x=0; startpt.z=0; startpt.y=0; ShowWindow(0); rc = acedGetPoint(startpt,pMessage, p); if (rc == RTNONE) { rc = RTNORM; ShowWindow(1); return; } ShowWindow(1); }

Try using these functions BeginEditorCommand(); CompleteEditorCommand(); CancelEditorCommand(); "Rob Thyen" wrote in message news:40213a45$1_3@newsprd01... > I have a button on a MFC form that allows a user to pick a point.

Instead of 'ShowWindow(0);' call: BeginEditorCommand(); and instead of 'ShowWindow(1);' call: CompleteEditorCommand(); Hope it works for you!

In order to use the BeginEditorCommand and others as specified, you have to change your dialog to derive off of CAcUiDialog instead of CDialog

If you ever want to change from CDialog to CAcUiDialog dialog class do the following: #include "acuiDialog.h" and change all instances from CDialog to CAcUiDialog in the .h and .cpp file, the thing I like the most about doing this is the created dialog box has the AutoCAD icon on the top left making the dialog box look like an actual AutoCAD dialog box.

Of course, you can do that with just about any ole CDialog: CWnd::SetIcon(GetClassLong(adsw_AcadMainWnd(), GCL_HICON), true); -- Copyright (c)2004 Tony Tanzillo Unauthorized reproduction expressly prohibited.

In your Dialog .h file replace class MyDialog : public CDialog { blahblahblah } with class MyDialog : public CAcUiDialog { blahblahblah } Priit Peipman

Forgot something.... in cpp file constructor function should be: MyDialog::MyDialog(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CAcUiDialog(MyDialog::IDD, pParent) Priit Peipman "Priit Peipman" wrote in message news:40221ba3$1_3@newsprd01... > In your Dialog .h file replace > > class MyDialog : public CDialog > { > blahblahblah > } > > with > > class MyDialog : public CAcUiDialog > > { > blahblahblah > } > > Priit Peipman > >

If you didn't figure it out here is a simple Dialog class in this zip file,
I add the Acad Dlg includes in the stdafx.h file

// AutoCAD MFC Extensions:

#include "adui.h"

#include "acuiComboBox.h"

#include "acuiDialog.h"

There are actually several subtle things I like about using CAcUiDialog. For instance, dialog persistency (size, position, column widths, etc) and resizing is much simpler than equivalent CDialog implementations. Tom Stoeckel "Gary D.
