Termination of enterline() function

kdolan

Hi, 

I'm trying to utilize the enterLine command to allow a user to input X amount of points, and then terminate to command. 

With the code below, I can capture the entered points, and use the outputted list of points in the doneProcedure. However, the enterLine command remains active afterwards, as if it it waiting for me to enter another set of points. To get out of this, I'm forced to use the 'Esc' key.

However, is there a way in which I can escape the enterLine function completely, after the doneProcedure is executed? I tried using the cancelEnterFun() but it doesn't seem to do what I want it to do. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Keelan

procedure( myTestproc()

enterLine( ?doneProc "doneProcedure" )

)

procedure( doneProcedure(a b c)

printf("\nPoints: %L" c)

cancelEnterFun()

)

  • Keelan,

    What's happening here is that the "repeat commands" choice in the editor (the modalCommands env var) is causing the command to repeat automatically. I've long wished that this is something that could be easily overridden as an argument to the enter* enter functions, but it isn''t. You can however see an example of where I wrapped an enter function to temporarily turn off modalCommands and then back on again (if it was on before) afterwards. You might still want to use the ?doneProc in your use model - but hopefully you can get the idea from my other post.

    Regards,

    Andrew
