About automating.

[WilliamGS]

Hi all,
I have a program that automates AutoCAD 2000, it worked fine, but then I have installed a previous version (14), it causes and error in the following code:

CLSID clsid;
if :CLSIDFromProgID(OLESTR("AutoCAD.Application"), &clsid) != NOERROR) //Here is the error!!!
{
::AfxMessageBox(IDS_ERROR_ACAD);
return FALSE;
}

How can I specify one versión or another to 'CLSIDFromProgID()'. I'm using VC++ 6.00

Thanks in advance,
William G.S.

CLSIDFromProgID gives the Class ID stored in Registry for the Program from which the application is automated... For the new version of AutoCAD, the Program ID may be different and that why you are not getting that done.

AutoCAD.Application may be replaced with the exact registry entry of AutoCAD...

Cheers,

Ravi

look in OleView for correct ProgID.
