What are the ‘Load Controls’ in AutoCAD OEM

by Fenton Webb

The Load Controls section of the AutoCAD OEMMakeWizard define the demand loading required for your module.

It relates directly to the ObjectARX AcadApp::LoadReasons enum, e.g.

struct AcadApp {
  enum LoadReasons {
    kOnProxyDetection = 0x01,
    kOnAutoCADStartup = 0x02,
    kOnCommandInvocation = 0x04,
    kOnLoadRequest = 0x08,
    kLoadDisabled = 0x10,
    kTransparentlyLoadable = 0x20,
    kOnIdleLoad = 0x40
  };

The Load Controls are used for all ObjectARX, ObjectDBX, .NET and Mixed Mode DLLs.
