This link shows how to Expose AutoCAD's Properties Palette functionality to .NET

Can a property be added to the properties palette when there are no entities selected/commands active? In my instance, I would like to a combo box, with populated data.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Why not make your own toolpalette with a combobox?

The main reason for going down the path of the Properties palette was that I only have 1 combo box (where the user can change the project number).

Question of workflow here:

-It's eaiser to make a form dialog just pop up when you want... 

Then with the the form display a combobox. 

 

-or your own acad toolpalette window, 

(Similiar to the Tool Palettes but with any control you can think of on it).

Which can pop up upon command or Drawing opened. 

Then give the user a single dropdown/combobox to select the project number. It can accomplish the same function 

but through different means. 

 

See PDF for Demonstration

Now if you have your heart set on using the Properties window... then keep looking and asking.

I'm sure it's possible. Sorry If I didn't answer you're question there. And Please post what you find...

I'd like to know how that's done. 

 

 

 

Cheers!
