This is a classic, Usercontrol (WPF) text box that needs to be updated from another class. This is an Autocad plug-in. I will only show what is needed.
I tried to do the following but something doesn't seem to be working here: Changing text box from another class
The user control code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using AcAp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
namespace SimpleWpfPalette
{
public partial class PaletteUserControl : UserControl
{
char quote = '"';
public PaletteUserControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void processButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
if (doc != null)
doc.SendStringToExecute("UAIF " + quote + totalSheetsBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + originatorBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + approverBox.Text + quote +
" " + quote + identBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + dateBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + germanBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + weightBox.Text + quote +
" " + quote + drawingnbrBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + indexBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + englishBox.Text + quote + " " + quote + frenchBox.Text + quote
+ "\n", false, false, false);
}
private void nameBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
}
private void M10Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
if (doc != null)
doc.SendStringToExecute("m10file" + "\n", false, false, false);
}
public void setidentBox (string text)
{
identBox.Text = text;
}
}
}
Basically I am trying to call the following in another class:
public void setidentBox (string text)
{
identBox.Text = text;
}
Now in my class which I am going to condense greatly, we have the following:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms.Integration;
namespace SimpleWpfPalette
{
public class Commands
{
static CustomPalette palette;
[CommandMethod("m10file")]
public void ReadingM10File()
{
Document doc =
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
string fileDirectory = "C:\\Users\\Dustin\\source\\repos\\ReadInM10File";
string[] stringArray = new string[15];
M10Class[] M10DataInstance = new M10Class[15];
for (int i = 0; i < M10DataInstance.Length; i++)
{
M10DataInstance[i] = new M10Class();
}
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog("Select M10 File", null, "m10", "M10FileToLink", OpenFileDialog.OpenFileDialogFlags.DefaultIsFolder);
ofd.ShowDialog();
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(ofd.Filename, Encoding.Default);
int counter = 0;
foreach (var line in lines)
{
M10DataInstance[counter].idNum = line.Remove(3);
M10DataInstance[counter].dataString = line.Remove(0, 6);
counter++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < M10DataInstance.Length; i++)
{
ed.WriteMessage(M10DataInstance[i].idNum + " " + M10DataInstance[i].dataString);
}
// PaletteUserControl puc = new PaletteUserControl();
// puc.setidentBox("test");
}
So you can see my last two lines of code, I was creating a new instance of the PaletteUserControl which I know will not update my current one.
Basically, how can I simply expose the existing PaletteUserControl to simply allow me to call the setidentBox(string) function?
In the CustomPalette class, you add a public property which exposes the PaletteUserControl added to the palette set:
public class CustomPalette : PaletteSet
{
private PaletteUserControl userControl;
public PaletteUserControl PaletteUserControl => userControl;
public CustomPalette() : base("CustomPalette")
{
Style = PaletteSetStyles.ShowAutoHideButton |
PaletteSetStyles.ShowCloseButton |
PaletteSetStyles.ShowPropertiesMenu;
userControl = new PaletteUserControl();
AddVisual("PaletteUserControl", userControl);
}
}
In the PaletteUserControl class, you define the SetIdentBox method:
public partial class PaletteUserControl : UserControl
{
public PaletteUserControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void SetIdentBox(string text)
{
identBox.Text = text;
}
}
In the Commands class, you can call the palette.PaletteUserControl.SetIdentBox() method:
palette.PaletteUserControl.SetIdentBox("test");
Anyway, while using WPF you should have a look at the WPF data bindings features instead.
Worked like a charm. I believe I've seen your name before in the Autocad development forums. Thanks for all the help!
