making pline active entity (SDE CAD Client)

Help,


I am writing my first VBA app using ESRI's CAD Client ActiveX API. I am
trying to run a spatial query against an SDE database to drawing
subdivisions into AutoCAD.

I can get it work with every kind of query I do not need (entire layer,
current view, etc..) but the one I do need (polygon-passthru). I draw the
required closed polygon but I can't figureout how to make it the active
object in AutoCAD. It needs to be the selected entity just before I run my
query.

I have tried highlighting it but that does not help.

You may need to be careful using SendCommand in the middle of a subroutine
because the rest of your code won't wait for it to finish. So if your
sendCommand is overly complex, you can get unpredictable results.

Highlighting doesn't select it, it just changes the screen display. You need
to add the entity to a selection set to have it selected. You can also use
the Highlight property on the selection set, but its not necessary.
