Realtime Zoom from Macro

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to perform a realtime zoom while in a Macro.

I have a macro and want to be able to zoom in & out while the macro is still running.

I tried:

Me.Hide
Application.ZoomAll
Application.ZoomPickWindow
Me.Show

I'd rather do a realtime zoom, but the only way I can think of to do it is:

Me.Hide
ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("z" & vbCr & vbCr)
Me.Show

but this doesnt work either. The Me.Show brings sets focus back to the Macro before I have a chance to perform the zoom.

You normally need to regen the drawing to show the updates:

[code]
' The following example regenerates the complete drawing
ThisDrawing.Regen acAllViewports
' The following example regenerates the active viewport in the current
drawing
ThisDrawing.Regen acActiveViewport
[/code]

I'm not worried about the Regen. It works as I have it now, but I'd rather the user perform a realtime zoom instead of a zoom all then zoom window.

Can you add a loop before Me.Show checking whether AcadApplication.GetAcadState.IsQuiescent = true.
