form focus and acadview help

[Anonymous]

how do you figure out if the view is for modelspace or paperspace??

i have this setup so when you dblclk on a name it changes your view to that
name. but i also want the form to give autocad focus. any suggestions? (vba)

One way would be to use VLAX to query the entity data for your view:

Another would be to use vbXtender's ViewEx class (use the link in my
signature to get a copy):

Dim vx As ViewEx
Set vx = Application.GetInterfaceObject("vbXtender.ViewEx")
Set vx.View = myView
Debug.Print vx.PaperSpace

Are you using the AcFocusCtrl library on your form? If so, set KeepFocus to
false and AutoCAD will take the focus back all by itself. Otherwise, try
AppActivate.

I'm not sure a DCL file would not qualify as "alot of support code".
