In 6018 a new method GetAcceptedStringValues was added in BaseAction objects.
comments: Returns a clone of the Accepted strings array.
remarks: String values are translated by the vdres.txt resources file.
You can use this property to get the active action acceptedstring values and display them into a popup menu.
When the user select an item from the popup , using the SendCommandString method with selected string value,the active action will parse that value.
Example in C#
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
vdFramedControl.BaseControl.vdMouseDown += new VectorDraw.Professional.Control.MouseDownEventHandler(BaseControl_vdMouseDown);
}
void BaseControl_vdMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e, ref bool cancel)
{
//If the user press the Right mouse button with Shift key pressed
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right && (System.Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Shift) != 0 && doc.ActiveLayOut.OverAllActiveActions != null )
{
//If a user action is active
if (doc.ActiveLayOut.OverAllActiveActions.Count > 1)
{
BaseAction action = doc.ActiveLayOut.ActiveAction;
string [] acceptedvalues = action.GetAcceptedStringValues();
//If the action has accepted string values
if (acceptedvalues != null)
{
//cancel the default right mouse button implementation
cancel = true;
//create and show a popup menu with accepted values
ContextMenu popUpMenu = new ContextMenu();
foreach (string item in acceptedvalues)
{
string []values = item.Split(new char[] { ';' });
if (values.Length == 0) continue;
popUpMenu.MenuItems.Add(values[0], new EventHandler(pop_Clicked));
}
popUpMenu.Show(this, e.Location);
}
}
}
}
//when the user press a menu item from popup menu with accepted values send the menu item text to active action for parse.
void pop_Clicked(object sender,EventArgs args)
{
MenuItem mitem = sender as MenuItem;
if (mitem == null) return;
doc.SendCommandActionString(mitem.Text);
}
