AtuoCAD 06 CUI menu

Will this file insertion command still work in AutoCAD 2006 with CUI menus

(COMMAND "_.menuunload" "test.mnu" )
(COMMAND "_.menuload" "test.mnu" )
(MENUCMD (STRCAT "p" (ITOA 4) "=+" "test.mnu" ".pop1")).

 

Your likely to have problems with this. I had to go to using the menu
api (introduced in 2000).

Do you have a sample of this menu api code.

Thank you Terry for your help.

 

See the AutoCAD help and search these groups for vla-get-Menus. My
stuff is VBA.

To maintain compatibility with previous releases, I use something like this:

(setq FILEDIA (getvar "filedia"))
(setvar "filedia" 0)
(command "_menuunload" "Test")
(if (and (>= (atof (substr (getvar "acadver") 1 4)) 16.2) (findfile
"Test.cui"))
(command "_menuload" "Test.cui") ; 2006 and above
(command "_menuload" "Test.mnu") ; 2005 and below
)
(menucmd "P4=+Test.pop1")
(setvar "filedia" FILEDIA)

Good question. I have 2006 now, but not installed.
If 2006 uses a cui menu, how do you load old mnl and dll files (that worked
with the mnu)?

 

It works the same as before. If you have a menu called Test.mnu, Test.mns,
or Test.cui, then Test.mnl will automatically be loaded. Of course the old
legacy menu files (.mnu/.mns) will be recompiled first into a new .cui file
of the same name, plus a .mnr file. I don't know about .dll's containing
bitmaps. I haven't tried.

Thanks
If someone has tried the dll file, please reply.

 

Yes, it continues to use bitmaps rolled into DLLs.

Thanks

 

Thank you Dan
That will work

 

You are quite welcome. I'm glad to have helped.

 

Do you guys have problem using Autocad 2006 command "CUI", can you
change the order of menu?

I have a user defined menu loaded, but I want my own menu look like
File Edit ....MyMenu ...Window Help

But I found it's hard to change the menu order, the menu looks good in
the CUI interface, but does not work like it looks even I click "Apply"
button.

Thanks all.
