One bindkeys for performance of two functions

Slawa

Hello

For example there is some VerticalFixedMenu with a name the TEST

procedure(TEST_MENU()
hiDisplayFixedMenu(TEST
"top"
500
500
)
hiSetBindKey("Command Interpreter" "Ctrl<Key>p" "TEST_MENU()")

Whether it is possible that similar BindKey also closed the given window operating by a principle hiFixedMenuDown (TEST)?

  •  Hi Slawa,

    Ok, now I understand - this is possible but a little tricky.  Here's some code that I wrote and tested successfully:

    
procedure(toggleTestMenu() 
let( (one two)
  if(boundp('TEST) && hiIsInstantiated(TEST)
  then 
    hiFixedMenuDown(TEST) 
    TEST = 'unbound
  else
    one = hiCreateMenuItem(?name 'one ?itemText "One" ?callback "printf(\"One\\n\")")
    two = hiCreateMenuItem(?name 'two ?itemText "Two" ?callback "printf(\"Two\\n\")")
    TEST = hiCreateVerticalFixedMenu(
              'TEST 
              list(one two) 2 1
            )
    hiDisplayFixedMenu(TEST "top" 500 500)
  ); if
); let
); procedure

    Then your bindkey would just call the toggleTestMenu().  The global symbol holding the menu needs to be undefined using 'unbound because the function hiIsInstantiated() returns t as long as the menu has been instantiated (displayed) once, even if it is no longer currently displayed!  So the workaround is to recreate the menu each time it is needed.  The unfortunate side effect is that if the menu was dismissed using the automatically added "Done" button, you need to press the bindkey twice to re-display the menu again.

    I hope that this answers your question.

    Best Regards,
