How to call acutWcMatchEx

[Anonymous]

Try to make calls to acutWcMatchEx, acutWcMatch or similar functions inside .net, the manual says you can do it.
"Your .NET application can include C++ portions, so you can also use ObjectARX APIs that do not have managed wrappers."

Could someone show me some sample how to call acutWcMatchEx of ObjectARX from inside .net?

CharSet = CharSet.Unicode,
EntryPoint = "?acutWcMatchEx@@YA_NPB_W0_N@Z" )
]

extern public static bool acutWcMatchEx( string str, string pat, bool ignoreCase );

}

Tony, thank you very much. Your code gave me the last piece I need to assemble a .net library to show/hide layers, including those of a viewport. A lisp can call into it to set layers up in a layout after plot command is called, when no (command) can be used. Thanks.
