Create MPP using custom template

DenisAdamcho

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

    I can modify Paul's code a little:

    procedure(myMpp(opt)
      hiEnqueueCmd(sprintf(nil "leRodMppForm~>rodMPPTemplate~>value=%L" opt))
      leHiCreateMPP()
    ); end of myMpp

    Then I can do myMpp("N-Tap") or whatever the template is called. This will then work the first time you use the command too - because of the hiEnqueueCmd call (which will execute once the enter function has started.

    Regards,

    Andrew
