ARX code for unsupported VB functions

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have looked at the ACADUNSUPP ARX source code and want to know the
degree of difficulty in writing my own ARX code to provide the
unsupported property 3DFACE .coordinates

I have looked at the VLAX (acadx) page, but I would like to cover R14 as
well as R2000.

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you've never written a C++ program before, it's a monster but one you can
tame with a lot of study and experimentation. Especially if you're wanting to
create an ActiveX-enabled component. Some books you might try:

Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (SAMS Press), includes VC++, Learning Edition
Inside COM (Microsoft Press)
Practical C++ (QUE)

And that's just to learn the basics of creating COM objects with C++. ARX is a
whole other ball game. One thing I found to be of *tremendous* value in finding
my way around the ObjectARX API is VisualAssist from Whole Tomato Software. It
extends the IntelliSense in VC++ by displaying information on any API you add to
it, including ARX. That's just one of the many useful features. Have a look at

Frank,

After 10 minutes working with Visual Assist and turning off
some of the default features, the program has real promise.
Thanks for the link.

Later,
Paul Kohut

Thanks for the advice. I am impressed with your knowledge, web page and outspoken
commentary.
