);

Description

Gets user input for a real value.

The AutoCAD user can enter any valid real value, but the user cannot respond to acedGetReal() by entering an AutoLISP expression.

Parameters

Parameters	Description
prompt	Optional prompt string that `acedGetReal()` displays before it pauses; for no prompt, pass a null pointer
result	Output real number entered by the user

Returns

Pointer to the number entered by the user is returned with the result parameter, a memory area large enough to store a double-precision floating-point number.

Returns RTNORM if successful, else RTERROR if it fails or RTCAN if the user cancels the request (by pressing [Esc]). It returns RTMODELESS, if the active command was registered using the ACRX_CMD_INTERRUPTIBLE flag and the document has received a modeless interrupt signal from a call to AcApDocManager::sendModelessInterrupt(). A prior call to acedInitGet() can also enable return values of RTNONE or RTKWORD.
