AutoCAD .NET :: COM Library Windows Dialog Box
Jan 3, 2014
Is it possible to use modal dialog boxes with vb.net using COM libraries? I have two files one specifies the endpoint of a line in code the other ask for user input for the endpoints of the line.
The program that specifies the endpoints work fine. I can make it modal, modeless, and run it in process as a dll or out of process as an exe file. Although it wants to flash if any program is open hidden behind AutoCAD.The program I ask for user input will run fine out of process as an exe file but I get an error message “AutoCAD main window is invisible”

I am working with and extension to AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 on Windows 32. When a dialog opens it sometimes immediately minimizes and must be restored via the Windows task bar. I have also noticed that the dynamic input command line is visible when the dialog disappears and is present even if the dialog does not disappear. I have shown this in the image below. This also occurs on Windows 7 64 bit, as well.
If I set the workstation to windows Basic Theme or turn off dynamic input, this does not occur.

I am considering moving to Adobe lightroom. Currently we have all our photos in iPhoto.My wife prefers to use Windows, but I like Mac. I have setup my iMac as dual boot and I will by an external SSD HD to hold all our photos and can be accessed by both mac and windows. Is it possible to be able to use Windows to work in Lightroom, and the next day boot into Mac and see the same library? And when I make changes, add photos etc in Lightroom, they are visable in Windows?

Why in Photoshop & Illustrator CS6 "Open" and "Save as" dialog box style is from Windows XP?
In AfterEffects, Audition and other is new dialog box style:
Can Adobe add in "Preferences" - option with checkbox for users Windows 7/8 who can use the new windows explorer with extended folder bar? That would be simplified and speeded up a lot of things.

How do I switch to Windows' dialog windows for open/save/etc dialogs ?
On Photoshop CS3 we had this option (PS's had more options, but Window's gives a better view).
For the same reason I would like that on AutoCad : AutoCad's dialog is misorganized and carries a bad side menu. I really prefer explorer's .
I know there is an option on AutoCad to use Thumbnails instead of list, for example, but it won't apply to evey folder.
And the side links (see the picture) poins to useless places, and I cannot add my shortcuts, oppose to windows', where I can.

When I select "open" from the menu, the "open" dialog box opens and then immediately shuts. I can't open a document in Illustrator. Also, this has been happening in other dialog boxes, such as save as....
Creative Cloud indicates my software is up to date.

Very new with this software...watched several videos, and I'm still confused. Went to send some pics to a friend last night, and noticed that many "folders" are not in the pictures library in Windows 7.
In LR4, some folders have a destination of C://users/eric and brenda/windows/pictures...which is great, but others have this destination C://Brandon(which is just the folder name).
how can I get the folders in the Windows Library?

It's a Q6700, 4GB, 2TB drives, Epson R2880 running Windows 7, 64-bit. CS4 is very peppy, runs great, opens, closes, edits, NO PROBLEM.
UNTIL you decide to print. Once you hit the print selection it takes a MINIMUM of 40 seconds for the CS4 print dialog to appear. If you then hit the "page setup" button, it'll be at LEAST another 30 seconds before that appears. Once they're up, you can navigate around and make changes, but once you hit the print button on the dialog it'll be another 10-15 seconds before it responds and if you specify "Print Preview" it'll be at least another 30 seconds before you get the preview. Once it hits the printer, it prints fine. There haven't been any software or hardware changes in weeks, except the weekly MS updates that get installed.
I've tried large images, and small images in case there was something CS4 was doing. This process is this slow when printing a 4x6 greeting card or a 12 x 18 photograph.
What's interesting is this is a new phenomenon... It worked FINE up until sometime last week. Then suddenly, slow....... Concurrently, the print dialog STOPPED DISPLAYING INK LEVELS. The status monitor still displays them, but the printer dialog no longer does.
I've unloaded the printer and cleaned off every file I could find that appeared to be associated with an Epson print driver. Went to Epson and got the latest, Windows 7, 64-bit set of drivers and status monitor and installed that. No difference. Also tried a new USB cable AND switched it to the other USB port on the printer and on the PC. Nothing's made any difference......
If necessary, I can have her re-install CS4, but is there anything that should be done before we start clobbering major applications, or ever worse, the operating system?

A big bummer that in the library grid mode (or any other scrollable part of lightroom) I can't scroll with my touchscreen monitor like I can in IE or Chrome or Word etc.?? What is touchscreen compatible in lightroom? I would love for lightroom to be touchscreen friendly.

This just started happening after I downloaded DWG TruViewer. I am working on LT 2008 using Fusionware on a MacPro. I needed the viewer to convert newer drawings from an architect. Now, when I double click on a drawing in Explorer a separate AutoCad window opens for each drawing I need open. I prefer to just go up to Window>and click on the one I need at that time, especially if I have several to switch between because it is easier to see the file name I want.
SDI is set to 0
Taskbar is set to 0
Relaunched the program
I can't open files using File>Open because the program crashed each time and Autodesk is not issuing anymore fixes for 2008. (Yes, we should upgrade but there is no money budgeted)
Right-click on any .dwg file and go to Properties>General>Change> and select the AutoCad LT launcher as the preferred program
Since I am in Window 7 instead of XP the File Types tab has been removed from Folder Options so I can't fix it that way.
So, why did this change? FYI that stupid TruViewer made lots of unnecessay changes to my AutoCad and Explorer programs that I am still trying to sort out like changing the file icon and hiding the file extensions. Are they trying to make it hard to find files or what?
And next, how can I reset the default so that double clicking on a .dwg in Explorer opens in already open AutoCad window?

Why can't Windows Explorer show thumbnail previews of DNG's on my Windows 8.1 64bit Pc. I assume is has something to do with not having the DNG codec. However, on Adobe's website it says their DNG codec only works on Windows 7.

In ACAD 2007 when I create a new UCS, the dialog box shows as current an unnamed UCS which I can then rename. In 2014, this doesn't happen - I have to do all that using the command line. Is there some setting to get the dialog box to work?

Just installed AutoCad 2012 and I have the Property Dailog Box open. I anchor it to the left side of the drawing screen and "Lock" all toolbars in place. When I get out and go back into Autocad, the dailog box is still locked, but it is in the middle of the drawing screen.

The blue color on the left side of the dialog box is too light and makes it hard to read the white font. How can I change those colors? If they are part of the windows color theme, which element would this be?

Is it possible to keep a modeless dialog box permanently open (aside) just like a properties or tool pallete dialog box?If Yes, by keeping permanently, can I work in autocad environment normally as usual, like save, edit, close and open other drawings?
Note: Just assume that I am making a calculator-like dialog box. I would like to keep it open till the autocad application closes? (even in zero document mode.)

In the Snippet Ilogic examples can be found a code example to pop up the "Save File Dialog":
Dim oFileDlg As inventor.FileDialog = Nothing
InventorVb.Application.CreateFileDialog(oFileDlg)
On Error Resume Next
oFileDlg.ShowOpen()
Code to show the print dialog?

Just thought I would post this because I have been looking for a working VBA file open dialog box solution for awhile. I'm an old autolisped making the jump to VBA and I have seen and read various solutons for the equivalent getfiled autolisp function but I never had much luck with them. This one worked for me it uses the Win API to do the job.
Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _
"GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long
Private Type OPENFILENAME
lStructSize As Long
hwndOwner As Long
[Code] ....
Make a form and place the following code listed below on a button to call the showopen routine.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Filter As String
Dim InitialDir As String
Dim DialogTitle As String
Dim OutputStr As String
[Code] ......

I have an app that uses a paletteset. The paletteset displays a modal dialog on a particular action. From the modal dialog, the user needs to be able to click a button to zoom to a particular coordinate. I have it all working, with one problem. The Zoom doesn't occur until the user closes the modal dialog. I know this is related to my limited understanding of contexts in AutoCAD.
I've tried calling my Zoom method from the modal dialog, from the parent paletteset, and asynchronously using doc.SendStringToExecute() back to my main commands class, with the same result. The Zoom occurs after exiting the modal dialog. How I can make the zoom occur while remaining in the modal dialog?

What command turns off the annoying "selection dialog box"? I don't know if it's new or not, but it started showing up this week. I see the purpose, but don't like it or the fact that autocad makes difficult to turn off a feature after it puts it there without warning. Attached is a screen shot of it.

I'm trying to insert a block using the "insert dialogue box". However, when I do, if I have the box for "insertion point" unchecked, I get the error "Block Insertion Failed" (picture 1).
If I check that box, I get the error "*Invalid* Block references itself". I have purged the drawing and there are no other blocks in the drawing.
