Here's where all the brain power is..

Since you all here.... can I get my VBA modified event to run after a
drawing has been closed and re-opened??? ie. change the length of a LINE and
it fires the Event??? Maybe ARX is the answer?? Tks.

Also, the sample "helloWORLD" program that started this would be
cool....Just got 05 ...ordered 'NET

Hi, no brain power here, but can you elaborate please. Are you saying for example, you want to change the length of any number of lines, close the drawing, and then when the drawing is reopened for the drawing to recognize that the lines were changed and do something?

 

YES...I already have that set up thru a Modified_Event. I change the length
of a line(any Modified_Event object) and it's length is updated on the
screen and in an Excel file. Works great. But... if I close the drawing the
objects that I created as a New EventClass will no longer update. They are
only alive when created by my VBA app and said app is running. Can this be
remedied in VBA?

Thanks

store xdata on the entities?
enter their handles in a dictionary?
store handles in external file, txt xml etc
???

 

so recreate each object when the app is run..Cool. There are can be up 600
to 2000 EventClass objects in each drawing... but all machines are quite
quick and program runs in couple of seconds...shouldn't add anytime to
startup....

Thank You.....I'll let ya know...
