CAD Software Forum

We are in the process of converting an already operating program written in VBA to SDS.

After using the extremely friendly interface provided by VBA to create Dialog Boxes, it seems uncanny and a backwards step to use DCL language for the purpose. Its capabilities are notoriously inferior too.

There is a file SdsDialog.h which we presume is destined for the purpose but we were unable to figure out how to use it, its functionalities or any kind of help on its application.

If anyone can supply any clues on this matter, please take the time to post a few lines in the forum. We'll surely appreciate it.

There is another issue requiring some external help. Does anyone know a simple way to add two strings in Visual C?

Additionaly, we stumbled into a bug which we'd like to report. Sds_Distance returns an erroneous value when applied. It's off by a few units but undoubtedly wrong which, by the way is very easy to check.

Thanks to all.

Hector,
In IntelliCAD help go to "Developer reference" then "DCL Programming reference".

There are examples of using DCL and definitions for each tile.

The same DCL language is used for SDS as well as Lisp.

In SDS you would use the DLG functions to load an manipulate the dialog.

I may be able to offer some limited help on a specific problem that you may run into.

What strings do you need added in Visual C ?
