dbconnect return connections key value

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I’m struggling for a quit long time now with the following task:

I have autocad object connected via dbconnect to the external databse.

Is it possible using autolisp to return key value of the connection? For example:

Some geometry is connected to the data set:

id (key) [M-SW-01/A]; material [some material];  …

When I select the geometry and call lisp routine, it returns “M-SW-01/A”

Thanks,

Ivan

Hello

I am not at all a Lisp programmer but if I remember well, you can do a XDLIST (or XLIST ?!) Command on the concerned entity and you will get :
- DB Link Name
- Key Link Value

Hello

I confirm the command XDLIST (coming from the Express/Bonus routines)

and you will see ONLY the DB Link Name (Code 1000)

and not the Key Value (Code 1004) because the Binary Data is not printed (maybe encrypted !?)  ...

The XDATA registered Application is named "DCO15"

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion.

the line

(setq working_elist(entget (setq source_obj (ssname (ssget) 0))'("DCO15")))

almost did it, but as you sad, the link at the code1004 is probably encrypted.

I probably have to dig a bit deeper into ActiveX ADO...

thanx again and Happy New Year
