Visibility State "walk" sim to LayerWalk

[cadpoobah]

In the Block Editor, it would nice to have a way to easily "walk" through the available visibility states. I realize you can pick the VS from the dropdown in the Visibility panel on the ribbon, but it seems that if I could "scroll" thru the available states with the up & down arrow keys (think LayerWalk!), it would be alot quicker. And would make it easier to quickly "toggle" between two states to compare them.

Using VLisp, how can I get a list of VS's? Is it possible to create a modeless dialog (again, think LayerWalk) showing all the VS's that I could "walk" through with my keyboard? Possibly even a option in it to toggle the Visibility mode (BVMODE) on or off. And while I'm wishing, it would be nice to be able to display multiple VS's at the same time (similar to BVMODE=1) but only showing the VS's that are selected.

Any thoughts/ideas/takers?

Thanks!

Look into the Allowed Values of the DynamicBlockProperties Object for the available Visibility State(s).

I'm guessing you are referring to VS inside the BEdit environment. If so then the only way to change the VS is to issue a command for BVSTATE using it's command-line version's Set option and the state name. Though then you'd need to close the dialog before issuing the command, then reopen the dialog, so it would cause a flickering effect at best.

What I'm really upset about is the drop-down for VS choices. It's possible to keep it in focus then use the up/down and enter on the ribbon based one. But the older version looses focus as soon as you change the VS. If the focus was kept you could "walk" by pressing the up/down keys. At the moment you can only do so with the ribbon turned on, yet you need to press <Up><Enter> or <Down><Enter>

The BVMode is much simpler to do since this is a setvar operation, no need to close the dialog.
