Remarks

Depending on the programming language that you use, either:

      • append \n to the command
        - or -
      • include & Chr(10) after the command

        These control strings emulate a user pressing the Enter key in DraftSight. The number of control strings should correspond to the number of times a user is required to press the Enter key for the command in DraftSight.

For example: 

To delete all entities in a drawing in this programming language... Call...
C#

int state;

state = (int)dsApp.RunCommand("DELETE ALL\n\n", false);

VB.NET

Dim state as Integer;

state = dsApp.RunCommand("DELETE ALL" & Chr(10) & Chr(10), False)

VBA

Dim state as Long;

state = dsApp.RunCommand("DELETE ALL" & Chr(10) & Chr(10), False)
