[v8i C#] CadInputQueue

Hi Keith,

I assume (not tested) the relation between SendDragPoints and SendAdjustedDragPoints is the same as SendDataPoint and SendAdjustedDataPoint, so "adjusted" means the entered coordinates are firstly tested with active snap conditions and if the snap is found, not original but snapped coordinates are used.

An example: If linestring endpoint is dragged close to a keypoint, SendDragPoints will produce exact drag, but SendAdjustedDragPoints will modify UpPoint to be snapped to the keypoint coordinates.

With regards,

Jan

What is the difference between CadInputQueue.SendDragPoints and CadInputQueue.SendAdjustedDragPoints?

The Adjusted version takes into account an active tentative point.

I cant seem to find any literature explaining what they do

I found both methods in VBA help.

I am new to developing in these environments and didn't realize I should refer to VBA help for .NET help, however its clear to me now. Thanks to you both.

Yes: with MicroStation V8, your .NET application references the VBA COM server.  You're invoking COM objects through an InterOp.  You can, in addition, call MDL functions through P/Invoke.

Search MSDN for more information about InterOps and P/Invoke.

With MicroStation CONNECT, we can write .NET code without referring to the COM server.
