vba eval broken?.

Anonymous — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 07:50:21 GMT

Hello, I have stumbled on a problem. If you try to use eval to call user defined subs autocad will generate an error.
Example:

Public Sub TestEval1()
Eval "MsgBox ""This works"""
End Sub

but

Public Sub TestEval2()
Eval "ShowMsgBox ""Doesnt work."""
End Sub

Public Sub ShowMsgBox(msg As String)
MsgBox msg
End Sub

Calling user defined funktions with eval worked in ver 2002 but doesnt work since atleast ver 2005.

Have anyone noticed this problem before?.

seems as though it was broken in 2002 and they fixed it in a later version.

the whole point of using eval is so you don't have to create subs, funs,
etc.

But this makes no sense. Now there is no possibility to run subs in other dvbs with inparameters. This must be faulty behaivour.. Or is there another way to call a function in another dvb with input parameters? (And dont say sending it as commandline because thats is reallly not a good way..) I mean if you can evaluate a function like msgbox with input parameters, why cant you evaluate another function.. ?

Your examples worked for me in both 2000i and 2005. Any typo's on your end.

parameters?
Add a reference to the project and call you function.
