How to Check if BEDIT–Is Saved or Discarded

By Madhukar Moogala

This is in continuation to How to Check if XREF Edit In Place Is Saved or Discarded - AutoCAD DevBlog (typepad.com)

I have received query how similar thing can be achieved for Block Edit in place.

We can retrieve this information from acedGetBlockEditMode

class XrefCheckEditor : public AcEditorReactor {

virtual void commandEnded(const TCHAR* cmdStr) {
if (wcscmp(cmdStr, L"REFCLOSE") == 0)
{
			
	switch (EditInPlaceXref::XrefState)
	{
	case EditInPlaceXref::Saved:
		acutPrintf(L"\n Modifications To In External Reference Are Saved");
		EditInPlaceXref::Reset();
		break;
	case EditInPlaceXref::Discarded:
		acutPrintf(L"\n Modifications To In External Reference Are Discarded");
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}

}
if (wcscmp(cmdStr, L"BCLOSE") == 0) {
	const bool bSaveHappened = (::acedGetBlockEditMode() & kBlkEditModeBSaved) != 0;
	if (bSaveHappened)
	{
		acutPrintf(L"\n Block Reference is Saved");
	}
	else
	{
		acutPrintf(L"\n Block Reference is Not Saved");
	}
}
}
};
