Create a user parameter for a dynamic block

Anonymous

Okay, back to the age old question... can you create dynamic blocks?  I need to create my block in-code and add some dynamic properties.  If I recall correctly, dynamic blocks have been around since about 2006.  Yet a forum response in 2014 says you still can't create them in code.  I'm asking again as I found in the acmgd.dll a BlockLookupAction and BlockLookupActionEntity.  I'm actually wanting to add a Lookup action.  But... I can't find any samples any where.  Are we still not able to create dynamic blocks 8 years later?  If so, any help would be much appreciated.

here's what norman has written on the subject from 2016 last year (as of the time of this post) - and i very much doubt that it would be exposed since then given autodesk are pouring all their resources into Forging ahead (pun intended).

I really wish they could do something about this.  I have noticed how much of their resources is going into Forge myself.  Kinda makes me worry about our .NET support and level of API enhancements.  I've got a lot of .NET code to maintain and continue in development.
