As I mentioned above, a tag definition has another flag DgnTagDefinition::propsMask::TAG_PROP_DISPOFF.  That tells a tag that it should not display itself.  I don't know how or if that flag interacts with the MSElement flag.

Unfortunately the entire "capture" KeyIn group is missing in CONNECT.

It's not quite true. The problem is CE is that screen capture application is not loaded.

It can be achieve modifying CE workspace to load scrncapt.ma…

Glad to see this finally work but that last bit very much confuses me.  This feels like bug in TagElementHandler::SetAttributeValue() to me.  Perhaps Brien can explain it to us.

When you modify the element in memory, the EditElementHandle…

Bentley View (search for "VBA") is to be used as a viewing product and does not provide Microsoft VBA custom application support/capabilities. See: Bentley View FAQ.

Microsoft VBA interactions with Bentley View will be minimal at best permitting…

In general, where a new class exists in the MicroStationAPI, it's preferable to use that rather than the MDL functions. 

In general, if the mdl function still exists and isn't deprecated, it should produce the same result as it did…

It should be, the active view group is made active when a file is opened...but you should always check that you have a valid ptr...

You can get it with additional clicks using notes with text frame box and then adding a fill to the associative region. 
More of a workaround and I have not used it myself, because notes are always a hassle to get right, but the frame of a note changes…

it was simple task to find the function is available in ustation.dll

Thanks for finding the right DLL!

Have you followed my test steps strictly? It really can create our own rule.

Maybe need us close and reopen the Display Rule dialog to check the result.

Hi Jon Summers,

Our event notification system to the best of my knowledge loads and notifies MDL applications based on a sorted application name callback list of apps.  Therefore if your app was called ASpecialApp it would be notified prior to your other…

The published MicroStationAPI includes mdlInput_sendKeyin but not mdlInput_sendKeyinExtended.

Hi Jon Summers,

Let's briefly side-track and ask ourselves... How many ways can we place a line in MicroStation?  Both you and I in this…

Hi Jon, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have moved the post in question to the Building forum, where the Building team can coordinate with the right folks at Bentley to get an answer.

Hi,

I dont think you need to set the FacetParamMode. As long as you have set that you want uv parameters with FacetOptions::SetParamsRequired, you will then get the facedata structure calculated on the PolyfaceHeader.  There is then a method on PolyfaceVisitor…

Hi Steve Salata,

Thank you for reporting this issue.  We have confirmed this and discovered this was an accidental development debug trace that remained enabled.  Hopefully the next product update(s) should remove this trace alert from being visible.

Hi Jon,

good question, but unfortunately I think there is no such example available.

On the other hand, recently there was a discussion about the note in C, that may help you, because both APIs are nearly equal.

With regards,
