VCSetCurrentEntity


Version:

1.2

Description:

Marks the specified entity as the current entity in order to retrieve information about that entity.

Declaration:

 

C/C++

extern "C" void WINAPI VCSetCurrentEntity(short* iError, ENTITYHANDLE lH);

Delphi

procedure VCSetCurrentEntity(var iError: Smallint; lH: Longint); stdcall;

ActiveX/COM

Sub SetCurrentEntity(ByVal lH As Long)

Parameters:

lH - the Visual CADD™ entityhandle for the desired entity.

Notes:

In order to modify or retrieve settings of drawing entities, it is first necessary to select a current entity. This can be done by either parsing through one at a time using VCFirstEntity and VCNextEntity or by directly selecting the current entity with VCSetCurrentEntity. This does not visually select the entity but simply set a pointer to the entity for later operations.
