I am working on converting some very old VBA code to run on AutoCAD 2014. I have so far converted everything but there is an issue with the forms (they are modeless and require an activation callback to modify the window propertis). The following is the VBA6 source code:
IN THE FORM:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
#If ACAD2000 = 0 Then
If Not bPopup Then
Call EnumWindows(AddressOf EnumWindowsProc, vbNull)
Call SubClass
bPopup = True
End If
#End If
End Sub
MODULE (named modModeLessFormFocus):
Option Explicit
Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Private ThisHwnd As Long
Public Const GWL_STYLE = -16
Public Const WS_POPUP = &H80000000
Function EnumWindowsProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Integer
Dim title As String * 32
Call GetWindowText(hwnd, ByVal title, 32)
If InStr(title, "About") Then
ThisHwnd = hwnd
EnumWindowsProc = False
ElseIf InStr(title, "Preferences") Then
ThisHwnd = hwnd
EnumWindowsProc = False
ElseIf InStr(title, "Display Block Attributes") Then
ThisHwnd = hwnd
EnumWindowsProc = False
Else
EnumWindowsProc = True
End If
End Function
Public Function SubClass() As Long
Dim Flags As Long
Flags = GetWindowLong(ThisHwnd, GWL_STYLE)
Flags = Flags Xor WS_POPUP
SetWindowLong ThisHwnd, GWL_STYLE, Flags
End Function
The error I get when running is a "Type Mismatch" in UserForm_Activate on 'AddressOf EnumWindowsProc.' I have tried to convert it to 64bit using PtrSafe and PtrLong but inevitably it fails and the program crashes.
If anyone is smart enough to convert this or point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative.
Thanks
I found the API for 64-bit VBA7 in http://www.jkp-ads.com/articles/apideclarations.asp
#If VBA7 Then
#If Win64 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetWindowLongPtr Lib "USER32" Alias "GetWindowLongPtrA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, ByVal nIndex As Long) As LongPtr
#Else
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetWindowLongPtr Lib "USER32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, ByVal nIndex As Long) As LongPtr
#End If
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetWindowText Lib "USER32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _
(ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, ByVal lpString As String, _
ByVal cch As LongPtr) As Long
#Else
Private Declare Function GetWindowLongPtr Lib "USER32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "USER32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, _
ByVal cch As Long) As Long
#End If
