vlax-get-property for VIEWPORT

Hello everbody.

I wonder how to get the correct name of the property for viewport in the following example of codes !

Any help please ?

(vl-load-com)
(setq vp  (entsel "\n Select Viewport :"))
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car vp)))
(setq VPstatus (vlax-get-property obj [color="red"]'viewport[/color]) );
             (vlax-put-property obj ......... true or false 
             

Thanks

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to check that the user has selected a Viewport?

Thanks Lee.

I am trying to check the status of the selected viewport first, and afterall I may keep on or put it off .

Look into the MSpace property.

Look into the MSpace property.

That's right, I've seen that before, but my problem is how to use it with function (vlax-put-property obj .......) as I mentioned in my first post .

Mspace and display method are explained well about the same issue.

Thanks

For checking:

(vla-get-MSpace (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))

(Be sure that you are in Paperspace when checking)

For changing:

(vla-put-MSpace (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object)) :vlax-true)

Thanks.

That's to check the mspace in the active drawing ,but I want to toggle the selected viewport on and off .

It's different. isn't it ?

What do you mean exactly by 'on and off'? Whether Modelspace is active or not?

Otherwise look into the ViewportOn property.

Are you aware of the vlax-dump-object function? You might want to read about it in Developer Help, it may be a good tool for you.

this will turn a viewport on

(vlax-put-property obj 'ViewportOn :vlax-true)

Thanks Lee. This is what I used before to chech the status if on or off with *if* function. But I couldn't change the status of the selected viewport.

like the following ..

(if (= (vlax-get-property obj 'ViewportOn) :vlax-false)
               (vlax-put-property obj ......... true or false   <-- this is the part that was hard to me to put it on.
