    Does anyone know how to move the command line using VB instead of manually? I would like a way to do it automatically. I am looking to move it so that it is not seen. Also, I would like to be able to change some of the options for it using VB also.

  5. There's no way to do that with ObjectARX.

  6. There's no API to do what you ask.

    Why do you want to hide the command line (and the text window)?

  7. The obvious answer is that it is controlled by the AutoCAD application. There are lots of things you can do in AutoCAD that you can't control with VB.

    I need to hide because I am creating my own ui. I don't want the user to be able to access or see it.

    True. This was done with an express tool also, which probably means that it was done separate from the application. Unfortunately, full screen mode doesn't do anything with the command line either.

  10. I wonder if you could destroy the window using WIN32 API commands and whether it would have nasty effects. Having said that you could probably set the position using WIN32 API commands. I wouldn't mind checking this out for myself but haven't got the time to at the moment.
