SendCommand execute after Form close.

[Anonymous]

Hi

 On Command Method in my plugin i load a form using following call.

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.ShowModalDialog(form);

 When form loads on a button click event i call  ActiveDocument.Utility.GetPoint  to get a point on my dwg.

After getting ther point in button click event i call ActiveDocument.SendCommand to create new TextStyle.

SendCommand dont work until i close my form. after closing form commandline ask for textstyle params.

Is there any way i can run SendCommand when my form is on screen.

thanks

Hi,

SendCommand (as SendStringToExecute) runs asynchronously.

To synchronously run a command:

- targeting AutoCAD 2015 or later, you can use the Editor.Command method (see here and there) ;

- for pior versions, you'd need to P/Invoke acedCmd or call the non public Editor.Command() method.

You can also create a new TextStyleTableRecord and add it to the TextStyleTable programatically (see here).

    }

public partial class MyForm : Form
    {
        public MyForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

       
        private void BtnSendCmdClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
          
            ed.Command("_line", new Point2d(0, 0), new Point2d(500, 500));
            ed.WriteMessage("test.");
          
        }
    }

Hi,

while using modeless dialog, you have to lock the document before you modify it.
