Create MPP using custom template

DenisAdamcho
DenisAdamcho over 9 years ago

Hello,

I would like to start creating an MPP with a pre-selected template using SKILL. So instead of clicking "Create MPP" and then changing the template the user could start drawing using the custom template that was created earlier.

When launching the lxHiCreateMPP() it starts an enter function so it is impossible to change the value of the template field using SKILL once its running.

Only solution I can think of is to create the form that is used for the MPP(leRodMppForm) in the background and change the value of the field that specifies the template used(rodMPPTemplate).

Is there a way to create this form without starting the enter function? Or is there a different approach that can be used to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Denis

    Not sure I understand what you want, but here might be starting point for to work on

    procedure(myMpp(opt)
    leRodMppForm~>rodMPPTemplate~>value= opt
    leHiCreateMPP()
    ); end of myMpp

    The above script will change the mpp template, but you need to load the file with all your mpp templates.
    Some potential bugs with this script.
    1) You need to load the template file. You can do it manually when you start the session or have a script load the template.

    2) The template gui may not be generated when you first execute the command and get a warning/error about an unknown form.
