The dialogs you can add tabs to have corresponding events on the Application
object (with names like 'DisplayingXxxxxDialog"). The way you add tabs is
pretty much the same as how you add tabs to the Options dialog.

Thanks for the reply.

I was not able to see any other events apart from for these 3 dialog!!!

Actually I am trying to add Tab for Vports command and AECPROJECTSTANDARDS command of AutoCAD Architecture.
I have read in API documentation, you can add tab to any tab extensible dialog. But there is no list of dialog which can be extended or unless there is an event to do so.

Can you please guide me further on how to add Tabs for above 2 dialogs.

That's because they are the only dialogs you can add tabs to.

I can't tell you much about the AECPROJECTSTANDARDS dialog, but if the
dialog is not a managed component and there's no API that is for extending
it, there's not much chance you can do it, other than by resorting to
raw/native WinAPI hooks and calls.

Thank you very much.
I understand only 3 dialogs can be extended.

Any chances achieving it through ObjectArx?

Is ObjectArx is more powerful API as compared ti .NET API?
(That is you can achieve something which can’t be done in .NET)
I guess it mayn't be as .NET classes are wrapper classes of ObjectArx. Edited by: vedamurthy.t.g@tantrainfosolutions.com on Oct 14, 2009 9:45 AM
