Parameters

Prompt[out]
Text to display as the prompt in the command window
ErrorMsg
Error message to display in the command window when the user input is invalid
GlobalKeywordStrArray
Array of global keywords, which are typically language independent (see Remarks)
LocalKeywordStrArray
Array of local keywords, which are typically translated to the local language (see Remarks)
PromptInit
Prompt initialization as defined in dsPromptInit_e (see Remarks)
ShowRubberLine
True to display a rubber line from BasePoint to the location of the cursor, false to not display a rubber line
DefaultValue
Default orientation value to show in the prompt in the command window (see Remarks)
BasePoint
Base point
Keyword[out]
Keyword input by the user
Value[out]
Orientation value input by the user
Result[out] or Return Value
Result as defined in dsPromptResultType_e

Remarks

Local keywords can be seen in the prompt in the command window during user interaction. Global keywords cannot be seen in the prompt in the command window. However, users can type global keywords at the prompt in the command window if they know them.

If the PromptInit parameter is set to:

  • dsPromptInit_e.dsPromptInit_NoDefault and a value is specified for DefaultValue, then the value is not used or displayed in the prompt in the command window.
  • dsPromptInit_e.UsePromptExplanation, then call ICommandMessage::PromptExplanation to specify the text for PromptInit.
