Hi,
We let the user to add text to the multilayer viewer by using textVobject and TextVObjectCreateDesigner
What we would like to do is select the newly added textBObject once it's added to the MLV.
We tried the code
_mlvMain_LayerChanged
If TypeOf e.VObject Is Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObject Then
If e.ChangeType = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.LayerChangeType.ObjectAdded And ManualAddText Then
_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner = _mlvMain.Layers(Layer_Design).VObjects(_mlvMain.Layers(Layer_Design).VObjects.Count - 1).Designer
But, we will have error by doing this...Please advice.

Hi, You code looks good - it should work if there are no mistakes with "ManualAddText" and "Layer_Design" variables or properties. Could you provide us with more detailed information about error? For now I can just recommend you to use e.VObject.Designer property directly - something like that: Code:If ManualAddText Then
_mlvMain.CurrentDesigner = e.VObject.Designer
End If

Hi, Here is the full code. Even this line won't help. This will lead me to error. Quote:System.NullReferenceException was unhandled

Hello, I have found the reason. TextVObject designer cannot be detached from the host control before finishing work. So the code should delay designer switching a little. Here is small code in the attachment which demonstrates the idea. |

I'm doing exactly this in my app, here's my code that works, it's not complicated, (I run very much on the KISS principle). Set the currentdesigner to the objects designer immediately after you add it to the layer. Code:
void MLV_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.CreateText)
{
MouseEventArgs m = (MouseEventArgs)e;
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObject textObject = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.TextVObject();
textObject.Text = "Double click to edit";
textObject.TextArea = new RectangleF((float)m.X, (float)m.Y, (float)200, (float)100);
this.CurrentLayer.VObjects.Add(textObject);
this.CurrentDesigner = textObject.Designer;
this.CreateText = false;
}
}
I've found using the vObjectCreateDesigner functions don't really give me the desired effect, and this method just works. The user clicks a toolbar button which sets the createtext flag on the MLV, then when they click on the MLV this code places a Textbox there, selected ready for them to do whatever they like. HTH.

Hello,
I have to confirm that your solution conforms more with KISS rule. ;) I can recommend to use it in cases when there is no need in the setting text bounds first.
