Highlight method doesn´t update on Acad 2004

I use the following sentence to help users to select between LWPolilines in
a VBA application

ent.Highlight true
ent.update
msgbox "¿OK?"
ent.Highlight false
ent.update

It was working well on Acad 2000, but now with Acad 2004 we couldn´t see the
highlight effect.

It doesn´t give any error, so it could be something configuration... I´m
looking arround it but I coudn´t find anything.

Someone could help me?

 

Hi Jon, try removing the update statement after highlighting.

 

Ok It´s interesting. It almost works.

Without .update method it Highlights but after the msgbox. But I need to
highlight before the msgbox (to help user in selection).

I´m trying with that code:

PrevColor = ent.color
ent.color = PrevColor + 1
ent.update
msgbox "¿OK?"
ent.color = PrevColor
ent.update

It isn´t as pretty as the previous code but it works fine.

Is it a bug of AutoCad ?

Thank you for your interest James.

 

try replacing the ent.update with Application.update.
