Design and Run Mode

AutoCAD ActiveX

 
Design and Run Mode
 
 
 

While you are building your form you are working in Design mode, where you can

  • Add controls to the form
  • Change the properties of the form
  • Change the properties of controls on the form
  • Add code to the form module

While in Design mode there is no interaction among the user, the user interface of AutoCAD®, and your form.

Once you run your application, or your user runs your application, the form is then in Run mode. While in Run mode you cannot make adjustments to the form directly. However, the form is now displayed in the AutoCAD user interface and the user can interact with the form as part of the normal operation of your application.
