identify which button is clicked

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 11:42:09 GMT

Hi,

I need to identify which button is clicked on Autocad toolbar.

BOOL filterMouse(MSG *pMsg)
{
if( pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN )
{

// pMsg-> ?: any way to know which button got clicked;

//or which piece of information to use to identify the button.

// suppose "_line" button is clicked, i need to know "line" is getting called

}

or any other event-handler/reactor in which the information is captured

Thanks for your help

Why is this necessary? Maybe there is another option? In AutoCAD API, there is no such method.

You can implement an AcEditorReactor-derived reactor and overwrite

virtual void commandWillStart(const TCHAR * cmdStr);

If you don't need a reactor, you can also query the name of the current command from the AutoCAD variable CMDNAMES with acedGetVar(_T("CMDNAMES"), &rb).
