How to get AutoCAD’s Test Command Line window handle without using MFC?

[Anonymous]

I want to get the handle of AutoCAD’s Test Command Line window.

I found objectARX API acedGetAcadTextCmdLine. This API can return the pointer of that window. In order to use acedGetAcadTextCmdLine function, my project must depend on MFC libray, this is what i donot want.

How can I get the handle of AutoCAD’s Test Command Line window handle without using MFC, is there any other objectARX API can do this?

1. There is no "Test window" but is "Text window"

2. There is no any other ObjectARX API for getting handle of "Text window"

So without MFC you have to use Win32 API methods to get this handle.

I've found undocumented function:

HWND AcadGetTextFrameHandle(void);

Maybe it help you. Sample code:

static void MyGroupTextFrame () {
  HWND hwnd = AcadGetTextFrameHandle();
  WCHAR buf[100000]=L"";
  WCHAR TotalBuf[100000]=L"";
  if (hwnd) {
    if (GetWindowTextW(hwnd, buf, sizeof(buf)/sizeof(buf[0])-1) > 0) {
      StrCatW(TotalBuf,buf);
    }
    HWND hwndChild = GetWindow(hwnd,GW_CHILD);
    hwndChild = GetWindow(hwndChild,GW_CHILD);
    hwndChild = GetWindow(hwndChild,GW_CHILD);
    do {
      if (GetWindowTextW(hwndChild, buf, sizeof(buf)/sizeof(buf[0])-1) > 0) {
        StrCatW(TotalBuf,_T("\n")); StrCatW(TotalBuf,buf);
      }
    } while (hwndChild = GetWindow(hwndChild, GW_HWNDNEXT));
    acutPrintf(_T("\nBuf==%s"), TotalBuf);
  }
}
