Making AutoCAD C# Variables public in a form.

I have the statement.

Document acDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

in a form routine.

I would like to be able to use acDoc in all my form routines. How do I make acDoc usable within my form?

Thank you,

A simple way is to add a parameter in the constructor and pass it in.

public AcadForm(Document acDoc )

{

}

Could you give me a better more complete example?

I am somewhat new to this. I don't even know what a constructor is?

More complete examples often follow the posting of the code you're having trouble with.

Your plug-in exists within a Namespace, which implements Classes (aka Types), which provide Properties, Methods, and Events. A Constructor 'builds' or instantiates an instance of the Class (Type), and can be Overloaded (provide more than one Method, each accepting a different set of parameter, if any at all).

Since you didn't post code, I can only speculate that you call your Form within a particular Method, simply add a Form Constructor, which accepts 'Document acDoc' as parameter within your Form's Class, and then pass it along:

Pseudo-code:

// <snip>

Document acDoc = acDocs.MdiActiveDocument;

MyForm myForm = new MyForm(acDoc);

//<-- do something useful
