Stop the command through VB which was issued from AutoCAD.

[Anonymous]

I have a requirement where the 'Erase' command given in AutoCAD has to be executed only if a flag value is 'TRUE'. Otherwise, the command has to stopped.

I have trapped the begin_command event and checks the flag. But I don't know how I can stop the command which is already issued from AutoCAD. It would be really useful if somebody can help me.

Thanking you in anticipation

The failing of reactors is that you cannot *stop* a command, you can only
react to it. You will want to use
ObjectErased reactor to restore the object after the erase.

I don't think you can. Have you tried performing an UNDO instead?

Have you tried Sendcommand "", or maybe Sendcommand with no parameter?

Can you redefine the erase command? We do that with our save command to
update our L.E.C. dates on our drawings.

You can check for your flag at the begin_command event and if it is TRUE
than you do your own erase command, otherwise exit your command.

just my .02

Hope it helps
