Doubts for vl-close

[carlos_m_gil_p]

Hello boys. How are you.

Can someone tell me, what is the way to close the current drawing with vl-close.
Thank you.

I'll presume you mean: vlA-close... (as vl-close doesn't exist)

I'm anything but an expert when it comes to ActiveX, but i'm an expert with google 😛

Hello how are you.
Thank you for the correction. You're right, it's vla-close.

But I do not get where to edit the post.

Before asking, I had already searched in google.
But I can not solve for vla-close when I need to close the current drawing.

Thank you.

"You cannot close a drawing from inside an event handler for that drawing."

This line tells me you can't. (& acad tells me the drawing is busy, when i try)

I did find a different aproach (still using VBA)

(command "._VBASTMT" "ThisDrawing.Close False")

Which works for me.

Hi, I saw that, but I do not have that module installed.
And it would be more work, to have to install it.

so... why not use (command "_.close") ?

(command "_.close" (if (/= (getvar "dbmod") 0) "_Yes"))

Will do the same.

note: IF the drawing changed it will answer _Yes to the question: "Realy discard changes?"

Hi.
I currently have it like that. (command "_.close")
The purpose was to learn how to use vla-close for an active drawing.

Thank you.
