Auto Click ButtonBox using SKILL

Siddique baig

Hi All,

I am using ICADv18.1 & I am trying to write a code that:

  1. opens a form
  2. clicks on a button; which would open 2nd form
  3. autoFill the fields inside 2nd form
  4. Then clicks Ok for both the forms. 

In GUI, I would click "Customize SpoolSubmit Settings" buttion to open 2nd form. But how could I open the 2nd Form using SKILL? 

I took the callBack value of the "Customize SpoolSubmit Settings" button and placed it in the code. 

As of now, this is the code:

procedure(KSBautoFillNRF()

NRFInit()  ;; First Form Opens
rexCompile("^cte")
hiSetCurrentForm(car(setof(x hiFormList() rexExecute(x))))
MASH_F=hiGetCurrentForm()

hiRegTimer(
NRFCustomizeSpoolSubmitSettingsCB(hiGetCurrentForm())  ;;; This is the callBack value of the button

hiSetCurrentForm(car(setof(x hiFormList() rexExecute(x))))

nrfSS=hiGetCurrentForm()
f1=nrfSS->ssCmdLineOpts->value
when(f1 nrfSS->ssCmdLineOpts->value=\"-bmap map=prioritized\")
f2=nrfSS->ssLSFCpus
when(f2 nrfSS->ssLSFCpus->value=\"4\")
hiFormDone(nrfSS)

hiSetCurrentForm(MASH_F)
hiFormDone(MASH_F)
" 10)
);procedure
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>7" "KSBautoFillNRF()")

When executing the code, it just opens the first form & does nothing until I cancel the form. 
Please let me know how could I automate it? 

Thanks in Advance

    Rather hard to know without seeing your code - I'm having to guess based on what's most likely,

    My assumption is that NRFInit() displays a blocking form. Because of that, the code that follows NRFInit() doesn't get called until the form is OK'd, and so it doesn't call the hiRegTimer until after the original form is OK'd. Normally you need to enqueue the commands (e.g. with hiRegTimer or hiEnqueueCmd) before you display the form - otherwise it won't get enqueued.

    I've no idea what these cte forms are, so I can't help with any specifics.

    Oh, and by the way - please don't post a question and then delete it later and then post a similar question. It's really annoying, as often I spend time working on a response to the original question, go to respond and find it's been deleted. Far better to post the question and then post a follow-up saying that you'd figured it out (ideally with how you've figured it out).

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew, 

    Sorry for deleting the post. I wouldn't do that in future.

    My basic question was "Is it possible to click a button in the form, using SKILL"

    For example, consider "Create Via" form. leHiCreateVia() will invoke the form. Now, if I have to select "Auto" radio-button and then click on Options button, using SKILL. How could I achieve that? Please let me know. 

    BTW : I am the one who posted the question. It was the account with my vendor company. 

    Thanks

    All you need to do is invoke the callback for the button - that's identical to clicking the button.
