- First, I create an enumeration to easily sum up multiple snaps.
/// <summary>
///
Integer. Initial value 4133. Saved in Registry.
/// Sets
running object snaps.
/// The
setting is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the following values.
/// To
specify more then one object snap, enter the sum of their values.
/// </summary>
public enum Snaps
{
None = 0,
Endpoint = 1,
Midpoint = 2,
Center = 4,
Node = 8,
Quadrant = 16,
Intersection = 32,
Insertion = 64,
Perpendicular = 128,
Tangent = 256,
Nearest = 512,
ClearAll = 1024,
ApparentIntersection = 2048,
Extention = 4096,
Parallel = 8192,
TrackingLines = 16384
}
- My class will implement an interface
public interface ISnapMode
{
int InitialSnapMode { get; }
int CurrentSnapMode { get; }
int GetSnapMode();
void SetSnapMode(int mode);
void SetInitialSnapMode();
}
- The actual class implementation of the ISnapMode Interface

Why would you want to store such a thing in the registry? What happens if multiple applications are running and the both start racing to set some kind of reg value? (Saving to registry from your G+ post, does not appear to be in your article itself).
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean! I havent found myself in that kind of situation. But I can imagine when you use multiple acad applications the 2 could change the registry values at the same time resulting in interfering.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a solutions without changing the registry values then I would be very interested.
