Runtime/AutoLISP / BlockView-PreLoad will not wor...
Last post by glfiedler - January 29, 2024, 02:34:41 PMGreetings,
I run AutoCAD 2022 and the latest version of OpenDCL.
I have created a Modal form with listbox and blockview controls. What I want to do is select from a list of blocks and show the block in the blockview control. That seems really straight forward.
I have blocks in what I call a library drawing. (setq libdwg "C:\\Users\\jerry\\Drawings\\MISC_BLOCKS\\ROUTER.dwg"). The OpenDCL help (which is very good and usually helps a lot) leads me to believe that (dcl-BlockView-PreLoadDwg RouterBitsDB/Form1/BlockView1 libdwg) will allow me to show the blocks in the blockview control.
It does not work like that and I really need some ideas. The following two cases will show you what happens:
1) With libdwg OPEN and as the ACTIVE drawing and the DCL routine does NOT contain the PreLoad command the form does EXACTLY what I want. That is, I click on an item in the list and the block is shown.
2) With libdwg CLOSED and another drawing active and the DCL routine DOES contain the PreLoad command the form opens and the listbox works fine but nothing is displayed in the blockview control.
I am obviously doing something wrong and my knowledge of OpenDCL is limited. Although I have been programming for decades I have only just started to learn OpenDCL.
Reviewing the two tests, above, it would appear that I am calling out the library drawing incorrectly and it is simply defaulting to the active drawing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Regards,
Jerry

Studio/Dialog Editor / Re: Set Lisp Symbol Names and ...
Last post by Jim Short - January 29, 2024, 07:32:20 AMQuote from: Fred Tomke on June 12, 2009, 04:45:03 AMQuoteFred, do you mean there is a function that will return a control based on its name?
Kelie, no, I don't mean this. I mean, when I'm painting my form and I'm coding at the same time then I want to have the VarName in clipboard to add additional (accessing) lines in my source code files. At this time I call "Set Lisp Symbol Names" at first to copy the VarName value from the property's pane into my lisp file. In most of the cases I have the needed dcl_control_...-functions in mind and then I paste the VarName into the VLISP editor. The "nice-to-have" I mean is a command in the context menu that the VarName of the currently selected control or form can be copied as text into clipboard to fasten the coding process and to avoid that the VarName property must be filled before.
I hope it was a little understandable.

Fred, Can you please explain how this works: At this time I call "Set Lisp Symbol Names"

https://pdfcoffee.com/opendcl-tutorial-novo-pdf-free.html
EDIT: also with dcl commands, use "-" not "_" like in this tutorial, this was changed with newer versions. Also you can see this in ODCL editor but just to point that out so you don't get errors
