Create GUI to store user input string

blankman

Hi,

I’m looking to create a GUI that takes and stores a number of input strings, ie lib name, cell name etc. I’ve tried using hiDisplayAppDBox, but this only allows for creation of buttons. Is there means of doing this?

Thanks,
Brian.

    Thanks Andrew,

    The form I am looking to create is attached, and to have the entered data stored in the local .cdsinit file.

    Looking at your code; I'm trying to call up the "main form" (the oferCreateForm procedure) with a bindkey from the layout window, however I'm not having much joy. Please could you direct me as to how to call/raise the form (my skill knowledge is still quite limited) I should be able to figure the rest from there on then.

    Thanks,
    Brian.
