The display of the ORTHO, OSNAP etc. buttons can now be changed manually. I would like to be able to do it programatically.

I am also looking to do the same thing.

Can you confirm/clarify "display"? Do you mean remove them from the status bar completely?

Correct. If you right click in the status bar next to the buttons you can select which ones to have showing. We only use two of them so this is a good feature and I would like to be able to do it with VBA. One step further would be the ability to create your own.

Hi!

There is freeware C++ library (AcadStatButton) available from Manusoft (http://www.manusoft.com) for adding buttons to AutoCAD status bar. It has ActiveX interface for use in VBA and Visual Lisp.

I played around with that a couple of years ago, but I don't remember if it allows you to work with existing acad status buttons. I believe you can only work with the ones you've added. Correct?
