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.

    Hi Brian,

    You want to define your bindkey as:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>n" "oferExample()")

    The function you want to call is oferExample, not oferCreateForm. oferExample() creates the form if needed, then displays it. The definition is at the bottom of the example.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
