how to read in values in acedGetReal?

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2002 15:06:43 GMT

hi there,

i use the code below to draw a line with the length
of x.

my code is a loop, so i can draw until i press
ESC.

i save the last input and want to reuse it for the
next run.

i save the ads_real value in the
registry.

the trouble is,
face="Courier New">acedGetReal doesn't return wich key i
pressed.

if i press ESC it should jump to the line with
RTCAN

and if i press ENTER it should "so something", but
the returnvalue

of acedGetReal
is 0 or 1. how can i find out which key i
pressed?

thanks for help

do //ask the user for
distance

size=2>    {
    // X-Koordinate for
distance
    acedInitGet(RSG_NONEG,
NULL);
    if (retval =
acedGetReal(LoadMyResourceStringExD(IDS_STRING1106, x), &x) !=
RTNORM)
     if (retval == RSRSLT)

        {do
something}
     else
      throw
retval = RTCAN;

size=2>    } while ( x > length3
);

Chris,

acedGetReal

does not
return 0 or 1

You should check specifically for

if (retval == RTNORM) {
normal return
the user has entered a value

}
else if (retval == RTCAN) {
do
something //the user has hit cancel

}
else if (retval == RTNONE) {
do
something else //the user has hit the return key

}
else if (retval == RTERROR) {
an
error has occured

face="Courier New"> }

// this call
is not correct
if (retval == RSRSLT)

face="Courier New">

face="Courier New"> retval will never be RSRSLT as it is
1.

face=Arial>

Regards Gary.
