Disabled Blocking Autocursor

[coolsas]

Hi there,

 

in my chook I prompt the user to select a point for calculation. I use code like this:

 

CString str = _T("Nullpunkt")
p_3d nullpt;
char pt_option;
MC_BOOL valid_pt;
point_proc (str,&pt_option, nullpt, &valid_pt);

 

In X5 it works fine, the blocking option for autocursor is enabled and I can use it to select for instance an intersection point between two lines. But in X6 the blocking option is not enabled, so I can't use it for pointselection.

 

I use VS 2010pro for coding. Is there an option which I have to set before using the point_proc function to enable the blocking option or should I use a different function to prompt the user to select a point?

 

There must be a solution, because the chook "DrawPock.dll" asks also for a point and then the blocking option is enabled for using.

 

Perhaps somebody can help me to solve it.

 

Thanks in advance

blocking option for autocursor is enabled

What do you mean by -> "blocking option"

 

I can run that code in X6 and AutoCursor is available, allowing me to set for intersection mode, etc.

Hi Roger,

 

sorry for my late response, but I was the last two weeks in france, where I got no internet.

 

With blocking option I mean what you discribed, setting autocursor manually to intersection etc.

My question was on X6 and X6MU1 32bit. I've tested now also on 64bit X6MU1, same problem, when my chook is active, the blocking option is still disabled. You can see it an attached picture. On X5 all is ok.

 

I tried something:

 

My Main-Function looks like this sample:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int m_main (int not_used)
{
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

// for testing
CString str = _T("Nullpunkt");
p_3d nullpt;
char pt_option;
MC_BOOL valid_pt;
point_proc (str,&pt_option, nullpt, &valid_pt);
// end testing

// startfunction
StartMatrix_M();
return MC_NOERROR, MC_UNLOADAPP;
}

 

When I disable this codeline:

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

then the autocursor-option is enabled, but than I have a bigger problem, in my startfunction

StartMatrix_M();

I start some mfc-dialogs from CDialog-class, these dialogs are not running anymore, when the line is disabled. That means my chook does not work anymore, nothing happens. I need those dialogs urgently.

 

Do you have any suggestions what I can do to use the autocursor-option?

 

Thanks in advance

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

Tells me that your CHook, code has not been updated to a MFC extension style DLL.

You do want to do that...

Build a basic CHook using the CHook Wizard supplied with the X6 SDK.

Take a look at the <project_name>.CPP

You will see that it is Extension DLL style code.

Now you can copy in your "working" code, removing all AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); lines.

 

*If you look at MFC Extension DLL information on the web...

Do NOT add the CDynLinkLibrary command as shown in those examples to your CHook code.

Hi Roger,

 

thank you for reply.

 

I will do what you say and look into that chook-wizard-project.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks
