How can I have my VBA wait until Autocad is quiescent? |
|
|
I have a VB6 prog that runs and fires a invisible instance of Autocad
2000i. The VB has detection code to prevent it from running if there is
an instance of AutoCad already running. I would like to work that back
the other way as well. I want to prevent the user from running an
instance of AutoCad if the VB fired instance is already running. I can
detect the already running instance (fired from the VB), and I can put
up a note to the user to please close the instance of AutoCad that they
just fired, but I get a "Autocad is busy.." notice when I try to close
it. That's because AutoCad hasn't finished it's initialization routine.
Now to the question: Is there some way to wait for AutoCad to get
quiescent before putting up a message.? I have tried loops (keeps
autocad busy), do events (doesn't help). BTW the DVB has a ACADStartup
routine already. It limits me because any dialog I try there is seen
when the VB instance is started.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
