&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a peculiar issue here that I cannot figure out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a drawing that has a raster image as the background. Now, I have two text elements. One appears with a white background in the paper space, which is more desirable for me, and the other does not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not sure what property the other has that the one does not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/Screenshot-2021_2D00_03_2D00_21-180653.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The image above shows how they both appear in the default model.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The image below shows how it would appear on the paper space, where the text with the white background is more readable than the other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/pastedimage1616343100195v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has anyone ever come across this, I am unable to figure out what the issue is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am using MicroStation V8i SS10, version 08.11.09.916, running on Windows 10&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have attached the sample .dgn file as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would like to get the count of the number of elements selected in MicroStation VBA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have already used a scan criteria to get the elements I want. Now the issue is that I would then iterate through the selected elements using the ElementEnumerator, and add up all the lengths of the LineElements in my selection set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know I can get the total length of the selected elements using &lt;em&gt;CommandState.MeasureResult1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to also get the &lt;strong&gt;count or number&lt;/strong&gt; of selected elements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before i was using&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;Dim elmCount As Long
elmCount = UBound(ActiveModelReference.GetSelectedElements.BuildArrayFromContents) +1
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This works, but I imagine it might not be optimal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have also explored mdlSelect_numSelected() function by calling it from my VBA code,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;&amp;#39;Declared Mdl function
Declare Function mdlSelect_numSelected Lib &amp;quot;stdmdlbltin.dll&amp;quot; (ByVal windowP As Long) As Long

Dim windowPval As Long
Dim elmCount As Long

windowPval = 1
elmCount = mdlSelect_numSelected(windowPval)

&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="sample dgn" src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/myFile.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The image i attached shows the two values i am trying to obtain from within my VBA code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The code i used above with the Declare statement doesn&amp;#39;t work as i get an error&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Run-time error &amp;#39;49&amp;#39;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bad DLL calling convention&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the error i am getting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not sure what i need to pass the &lt;em&gt;mdlSelect_numSelected()&lt;/em&gt; as an argument as my VBE editor suggested a&amp;nbsp;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;Long&lt;/pre&gt; as an argument.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am currently using MicroStation V8i SS4, version 08.11.09.829, on Windows 10, build 1809, 64bit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t found a similar question to mine, so i decided to write one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am using VS 2017 Community Edition, version 15.9.4 and i used the &lt;a title="InnovoCAD v8i C# Template" href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-542131.VSToolsforMicroStationV8i"&gt;InnovoCAD v8i C# Template&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as published on the VS Marketplace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem I have is that when I debug in an MVBA project, I can see all the properties of an element, but when I&amp;nbsp;do the same in C# using VS2017, it displays {System._ComObject}.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In C#, it will select and count all the Items I need, and highlight them, as is required in the code, but I dot have access to any of the Element properties, even if the program uses some of the properties to determine which items to select.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For instance the procedure I have:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. it checks whether an element is a cell&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. determines cellname to search for among the cells&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. if cellname matches requirements, cell is selected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the C# Code of the procedure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="csharp"&gt;public static void selectNormalCells(string cellType)
{
	BCOM.Element oElem;
	BCOM.Fence oFence;
	BCOM.ElementEnumerator oEnum;
	string cellName;
	Program.MSApp.ActiveModelReference.UnselectAllElements();
	oFence = Program.MSApp.ActiveDesignFile.Fence;
	oEnum = oFence.GetContents();
	//Determine MicroStation Cellname from combobox selected text
	switch (cellType)
	{
		case &amp;quot;LV Stays&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;001&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;LV Struts&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;002&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;MV Stays&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;003&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;MV Struts&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;004&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;LV Poles&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;009&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;MV Poles&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;010&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;MVLV Poles&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;011&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;LV Flying Stays&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;015&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;MV Flying Stays&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;017&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		case &amp;quot;TRFRS&amp;quot;:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;TXTCS&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
		default:
			{
				cellName = &amp;quot;000&amp;quot;;
				break;
			}
	}
	//Iterate through all elements and select only the cell elements named &amp;#39;CellName.

	while (oEnum.MoveNext())
	{
		oElem = oEnum.Current;
		if ((oElem.Type == BCOM.MsdElementType.CellHeader))
		{
			if ((oElem.AsCellElement().Name == cellName))
			{
				oElem.Redraw(BCOM.MsdDrawingMode.Hilite);
				Program.MSApp.ActiveModelReference.SelectElement(oElem);
			}
		}
	}
}&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is a screenshot of the locals window in VS2017 Community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can clearly see items and properties of the elements in VBA, but not in the VS2017.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a variable i have not set or some setup step&amp;nbsp; I omitted?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the function in both instances works, and selects the appropriate cells, but in VS2017 I dont have access to the properties. I only see {System._ComObject}.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kindly assist. I can send further information by request.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a peculiar problem with my custom line-styles. I do a lot of electrical reticulation work, and with that we have custom line styles we use for representing different cables in our drawings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. 35-B conductor. &amp;nbsp;This is a cable showing the phase of the line, it is B, which can be any one of R,W or B.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/35_2D00_B.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/35_2D00_B.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It clearly shows the custom line has the text aligned to the length of the line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. The issue i have is with line-style number 35-W.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the image below will show you, the text is always horizontal, unlike the picture above.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/35_2D00_W.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/35_2D00_W.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a way i can fix this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you. &amp;nbsp;I have attached the .rsc resource file here.&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343173/ElecLines.rsc"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../ElecLines.rsc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a peculiar problem with my custom line styles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do reticulation work, on 2D MicroStation using custom line styles denoting types of conductors use, for example, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fox&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; F, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;035 AAAC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; : 35.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have noticed that when i leave my laptop on, and it goes to sleep mode, and when i activate it, the lines in my already open MicroStation file dissappear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the naive questions, if they have already been answered on the forum, I am unable to find answers to this question.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If they are answered already, please point me to the thread.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to know a few things about .NET and MVBA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. when i develop a .NET addin, does my application run faster than a similar mvba program doing the same thing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. If not faster, how can i speed up the program, if it has a lot of number crunching and loops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. What are the other advantages of .NET VS MVBA?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. If i use the &amp;quot;app.CadInputQueue.SendKeyinCommand(&amp;quot;xxxx&amp;quot;), is this the fastest way to accomplish a task, since these are tried and tested functions, compared to what one may create on their own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Using selectby dialog on fence</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/99969/using-selectby-dialog-on-fence</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:25:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ea552ddf-335b-49c8-9399-38a83cc1bda7</guid><dc:creator>theGreg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to find out if it is possible to use the selectby dialog only on elements enclosed in the fence or a named fence perhaps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the key-ins that can use to select or set such a function.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>View attributes not saved when set</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_printing/f/printing-and-plotting-forum/94585/view-attributes-not-saved-when-set</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:11:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ac8ef270-6f0d-4f94-a8c0-78a7373b1a27</guid><dc:creator>theGreg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Good day all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a peculiar problem with my computer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a set of sheet models. I have changed the view attributes of each model, specifically turning the &amp;quot;Fill&amp;quot; field on for each view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two things happen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. When I use the print organiser to print all my sheet models, the &amp;quot;Fill&amp;quot; does not exist anymore, and where i had hatching and fills, will just be a blank. It is as if it does not save the changes i make to the view. i dont know why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However if i print that sheet directly, by pressing &amp;quot;Ctrl P&amp;quot;, the fills will show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. When I change the View settings, after closing the file and reopening it, the &amp;quot;Fill&amp;quot; setting has reverted to the original setting, and I have to go through each model if i want to re- print the sheets after changes to the drawing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a global setting that i am missing? Pleases help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am currently using a MicroStation V8i (SELECTSeries 3) Version 8.11.09.292, on Windows 7 - 64-bit machine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
