Marknet options

DVancil

I need to use marknet with different options in the same session.  Is it possible to call marknet from within SKILL and have it load one of several options files (from a pulldown, for example)?

  • Two choices - you can either write a function that uses enterPoint() to prompt the user for a point, and in the doneProc calls leMarkNet with the ?optionFile argument (slightly awkward because this would work best using a closure for the callback but this is not supported for enter functions currently) or you could use an approach that I'm not entirely keen on in general (interacting with a form via hiEnqueueCmd), but does work OK. This has the benefit of having the same UI interaction as the normal mark net:

    procedure(CCFleHiMarkNet(optionsFile @optional (win hiGetCurrentWindow()))
  let((form (cv geGetEditCellView(win)) page1)
    form=leGetTechFormList(techGetTechFile(cv))->markNetForm
    ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    ; Relies on the field names not changing.
    ; Populate fileName field, and load the file - enqueued to run
    ; after leHiMarkNet has started
    ;--------------------------------------------------------------------
    page1=form->optionTabs->page1
    page1->fileName->value=optionsFile
    hiEnqueueCmd(page1->loadFrom->_callback)
    leHiMarkNet(win)
  )
)

    To use, just call CCFleHiMarkNet("theOptionsFile") and it will start mark net as usual but with the options file having been loaded at the beginning.
