update layer color in documents collection

Luis,

Yes, that works.

Though I must confess I don't understand how, since I know nothing about reactors.
More to learn...

Thanks. Your advice is welcome as usual.

Joe

 

That's good...



Take care Joe!

I mean.... is good that works

And why works... is that I found that the only way to update the layer was to have it at the time of making current the document.

We can't say that 'that works', because what
You're doing is trying to modify something in a
document that's not active.

What luis is doing, is waiting until the document
becomes active to do the same thing.

What you may not realize is that luis' reactor is
not executing the update code until you switch
to the document.

The whole thing seems a little silly, since this
creates more problems than it solves.

 

Yes

As always Tony is right.

Tony, can you elaborate more on the problems, you mention, please.


LE.

 

Luis - Please try to stop thinking about solutions
to problems, only in terms of 'reactors'.

You are trying to solve every problem with reactors,
and in some cases, your proposed solutions are very
shortsighted, because you overlook the problems
that your reactor-based solutions also create.

You can't solve one problem by creating another
problem.

You update the layers in every document, every
single time the user activates it. Do I really need
to explain what's wrong with that?

 

I see your point Tony and thank you, I understand.

I won't proposed anymore solution with reactors for cases like or better I won't talk to much about them over here.

I only want it to find out a way to at least have the color for the layer updated.... just that.

Tony I am not a professional programmer, I know that.

Now, I would like to learn from you, would like to have me as an intern?... I even would work for free, and I'm serious.

Best regards,
Luis.

 

Luis - I never said you were claiming to be a professional
programmer, just that you were going 'overboard' with the
reactor-based programming.

Reactors have their place, but there are times when they
create more problems than they solve. The key is to try
to learn more about AutoCAD's internal bahavior, so you
can foresee when reactors are not the right solution.

 

Thank you.

Just to comment, lately I am more focus in other type of exercises code solutions, as my latest post about gpoly, that you maybe saw it....

And how you would solve something like the OP is looking, or this type of solution does not worth to even spent on them?

And I see you ignored my last part of my previous post... :-(
