Problem with OnDocActivated and Bricscad

[Emiliano]

Hello to all,
I have a problem with the event "OnDocActivated" assigned to a Control Bar
In AutoCAD works correctly, but in Bricscad starts continuously every time you start a new command.

I recommend you see the example and the video in the attached file.
Can you tell me how to fix this?

thanks

Hi, I remember similar behaviour in the past in AutoCAD, because OnDocActivated does not mean OnActiveDocumentChanged. I believe, OnDocActivated will also be fired when the palette had the focus before clicking into ModelSpace of current drawing. I solved that using blackboard and I compared the vla-object of ActiveDocument with the content of the blackboard variable. If it is equal, OnDocActivated will be skipped.

Regards, Fred

It looks like Bricscad's document events are fired differently than AutoCAD's. I have changed the OpenDCL code for the next build so that OnDocActivated is not called unless a *different* document is activated. This should make the Bricscad behavior consistent with AutoCAD.

Ok
thank you!
I hope that the next built to be published very soon  ;)

If all goes according to plan, I will upload a new build this weekend.
