Call commands transparently using the command-line
Summary
Can I call commands transparently using the command-line ? For example, while I am using cmdLine and drawing some lines, can I call the cmdCircle, by posting circle in the command-line, draw the circle and then "resume" cmdLine ?
Solution
Supported in version 6017
A new event ActionParse was added in vdDocument object which is fired before VectorDraw parse the user text.
Example in C# with vdFramedControl in a Form:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
vdFramedControl.BaseCOntrol.ActiveDocument.ActionParse += new vdDocument.ActionParseEventHandler(doc_ActionParse);
}
void doc_ActionParse(object sender, string actionName, string parseString, ref bool cancel)
{
//When the user type a string that starts with ' then try to parse as a command that is defined in commands.txt
if (parseString.StartsWith("'"))
{
vdFramedControl.CommandLine.ExecuteCommand(parseString.TrimStart(new char[] { '\'' }));
cancel = true;
}
}
