Automatic Loading of .DLL files etc

[alanjt]

I just tested it on a dll and it loaded fine.

(defun-q DLLSTART (/)
         (and (findfile "PolylineEdit.dll")
              (command "_.netload" "PolylineEdit.dll")))

(setq S::STARTUP (append S::STARTUP DLLSTART))

All else, just stick (command "_.netload" "blah.dll") in your acaddoc.lsp. It doesn't have to be part of the SS:Startup.

ok the only ones that work for me are SteveK's first one he supplied and your one just then if all else failed

(command "_.netload" "blah.dll")

never mind, i have it working and want to thank you all :-D

This works for me ..... a simple autoload defined in the partial menu MNL
only loads the .NET dll when needed, so startup time in minimised ( similar to demand loading)

(defun c:CMD1 ()
  ;;// Codehimbelonga kwb@theSwamp 20070509
  ;;(findfile  "F:\\_VS2008Projects\\Projects\\ACAD-Managed\\CsMgdAcad-ColorLab\\bin\\Release\\CsMgdAcad-ColorLab.dll")
  (command
    "_NETLOAD"
    "F:\\_VS2008Projects\\Projects\\ACAD-Managed\\CsMgdAcad-ColorLab\\bin\\Release\\CsMgdAcad-ColorLab.dll"
  )
  (command "CMD1")
)

Command: cmd1

<dll netloads and program runs first instance>
Command: CMD1
<program runs subsequent instances>
