GUI menu to do setShellEnvVar

Pedro P

I need your help to create a GUI that looks like the image bellow.

The basic idea is for the user put the name of the TEST in the open field , then press the button “set TEST env variable” and the skill executes  setShellEnvVar("TEST=whatever is on the field")

can anyone help me with this ?

  • the code to do this is little:

    (let (strField btnField topFrame)
       strField = (hiCreateStringField
                      ?name    'strField
                      ?prompt  "TEST")
       btnField = (hiCreateButton
                      ?name    'btnField
                      ?buttonText "set TEST env variable"
                      ?callback (lambda (btn form) (setShellEnvVar "TEST" form->strField->value)))

       topFrame = hiCreateHorizontalBoxLayout( 'topFrame
          ?items (list strField btnField)
          ?horiz_align 'left)
     
       form = hiCreateLayoutForm(
             'MbrForm "Top Form" topFrame
             ?buttonLayout 'Close
             ?initialSize 400:75
             ?sizePolicy 'expanding)
       hiInstantiateForm(form)
       hiDisplayForm(form)
    )

    Only I don't understand why you want to wrap a GUI around something so easy like making a call to setShellENvVar().
