Need a list of constants in visual lisp

[dvertz]

I currently have about 400 of the defined constants but I am still missing some. I don't know how many I am missing, but I know I am missing "acmiddlecenter". I am looking for the one that does the middle left. I am currently guessing at "acmiddleleft" but I won't know for sure until I run my function to see if it fails. I would just like to get the list of all constants that are defined. I searched the internet but I am just know hitting on the right keywords to find it. Thanks.

For ActiveX? Python wrappers have them generated here

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, because it sounds like you want variables, which is the opposite of constants, but which you can define [you can't "define" a constant, which is fixed -- things like pi].  But in any case, does the (atoms-family) AutoLisp function [>here<] do what you want?

[daniel_cadext]

I’m assuming something like (setq acmiddlecenter 5), if that's the case the link I posted might be helpful

You can see them with command:

FIELD

Field category: Other

Field names: LispVariable

find *middle* masked

Command: LSP

Enter an option [Commands/Functions/Variables/Load]: V

Enter Variables to list <*>: *middle*

ACALIGNMENTMIDDLECENTER       (INT)
ACALIGNMENTMIDDLELEFT         (INT)

ac* masked, guess all acad's. with logging on all are written to the current log file.

@dvertz hi,

why realy care what value these constant holds, in expression i use them like they were integers

(setq alignments (+ acAlignmentAligned acAlignmentMiddle acAlignmentFit acAlignmentTopLeft))

and if i need the value...use (prompt (itoa acAlignmentMiddle))

Moshe

Daniel,

Yes. Active X

Thanks, This is very close to what I was looking for and then some.

[dvertz]

There are many constants defined in lisp to use instead of variables. Variables can change. The "acmiddlecenter" is a constant that never changes.

[dvertz]

Ah. I did not know this. Its a perfect list. I just wish I could now extract them as text. As my intended use for the text is to place them in my "word file" for UltrEdit. I use UltraEdit for alot of my coding when I am working on a machine without Autocad installed. And having syntax highlighting is great.

[dvertz]

Wow. That looks like is gives the list I was looking for. I just used "*" to get all of the constants/variables. Now I will need to sort through them.

[dvertz]

I don't care what the value is of the constant.

See my reply to paullimapa. I explained there what my use for the list of constant is being used for.

[dvertz]

To follow up ... this worked perfectly. I pasted the list into UltraEdit and sorted through them to remove items I did not need. That did not take long. Then I did a find and replace to remove the "(INT)" and others. Then performed a trim trailing spaces. I copied and pasted that list into the "word file" and saved it. The result was perfect. The Orange are the new constants from the list.
