WPF Databinding to the CommandLine Colors

—

by

Autodesk Alumni

Using WPF databinding, you can actually bind your WPF colors to the CommandLine color settings.

This can be achieved using the Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Data.DataBindings.ColorSettings ObserveableCollection.

The possible color settings property names are:

CommandLineForeground
CommandLineBackground

CommandLineHistoryForeground

CommandLineHistoryBackground

CommandLineTempPromptForeground

CommandLineTempPromptBackground

CommandLineKeywordHighlight

CommandLineKeywordBackground

CommandLineKeywordHover

If you want a good example of how to use the Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.Data.DataBindings collections then check out this blog http://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/03/using-autocad-wpf-data-binding-collection-properties-to-export-to-excel-in-vbnet.html and my Autodesk University class on WPF http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=material&session_material_id=5576

Hi Fenton.
Allowing the user to configure the foreground and background colors of the command line essentially requires that they also be able to configure the foreground and background colors of selected text, which isn’t supported.

Hi Tony
it is supported, it’s just not WPF data-bound via this class at the moment. I’ll logged it as a wish list for you, obviously.
