How to create dockable form in skill

RushMehta

Hello,

I am trying to create a dockable form so that it can be docked to existing schematic window.

I am able to create popup gui using hiCreateAppForm and hiDisplayForm. When hiDisplayForm is  executed skill code stays there till the form is closed using 'close' button.
However that's not true when I dock it.

I used hiCraeteDockWindow and hiDockWindow functions to successfully dock the form.  After executing hiDockWindow, skill code goes to next line and it will eventually exit the code. Which means the form is docked in schematic but its non-functional now as it can't reference any variables.

How do I keep the skill code alive after docking the form ? Or is there any other way to achieve the docked form ?

Thanks in advance,

Rushang

    Rushang,

    Please post your code - I expect you've made some mistake in the scoping of variables - but hard to know without seeing what you've done.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
