Hi,

   I was trying to make a VB application that would read the tool Palette catalog files and show the palettes listed in the "AcTpCatalog.atc" file in a grid. The user can then sellect or deselect the palettes and then I modify the "AcTpCatalog.atc" file accordingly. I remove the node for that palette in the "AcTpCatalog.atc" file.

   I was hoping that It would give me a sort of framework for loading custom palettes based on user preferences. Is this the right approach for doing this. I think the AutoCAD palettes do not work that way because this approach did not have the desired results.

   I am very much in need of help on this issue.

 

Regards,

Qarib Kazmi.
