How can we switch between the start and document's tab in ACAD 2016

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have start tab and a document tab,start tab is active and now I want to activate tab of the first document opened in  the AutoCAD.

I have tried using - iterate documents and active doc ,it does not work.

I tried using setcurrentdocument,it does not work.

Is there any api in the Object arx  of 2016 which I can use to activate the tab of document  or switch to the document tab from start tab?

Or move to document tab from the start tab?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Vinod

IMHO AcApDocWindowManager and AcApDocWindow::activate can help you.

Thanks for the reply ,yes  your reply can work but I wanted to switch the tab in application context.

Anyways I used activate document api toi switch the tab in document activated event.

Thanks,

I am using this code within a command function that is registered with ACRX_CMD_MODAL|ACRX_CMD_SESSION, so that it runs in application context:

AcApDocument *pDoc=<your document>;
acDocManager->activateDocument(pDoc);

Works just fine.

I think you rather have problems if you are not in application context because your current document will be locked than. In this case I use acDocManager->sendStringToExecute() to call my command.

Hi,

I am so sorry replying so late for this post.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried with a command registered as ACRX_CMD_MODAL | ACRX_CMD_SESSION ,it activates the document but does not show document in the viewer.

It shows start tab page only.

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
