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.

    Andrew,

    Thanks.

    Form created using code below.

    How would I then go about saving/writing the selected cellview info (lib cell view) to the local .cdsinit file? I am looking to save and recall the info each time the tool is started, and auto stuff into the form.

    Thanks,
    Brian.
