how to pass argument in user defined procedure function on pull-down menu skill code.

please post you suggestion or code , how to proceed  

Hi Yogesh,

I am not sure to understand your question,

If you want to pass the arguments directly, you can type them in the callback string:

item1 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item1 ?itemText "My First Item" ?callback "AmitFunctionOne(\"meatl2\" .08)" )

If you want the user to be able to select those arguments you will have to build a custom interface

There might be other solutions to provide variables inside a string callback (global variables, SKILL++, etc.) but you need to clarify the use case for our answers to be pertinent

greetings Aurélien,

many thanks for you reply , I want the user to be able to select those arguments from outside which needs  build of custom interface for example

There might be other solutions to provide variables inside a string callback.. if you can share any such custom interface where i can pass such 2 or more argument ..for ease let say i want to pass  metal2 and .08 from user interface. Please help me on this.

many thanks again

please share your view or code for above issue , thanks in advance 

Hi Yogesh,

Usually you create a GUI function to display the form and you use your main function in the form callback : 

procedure( AmitFunctionOne_gui( @rest _args)
  "Display a GUI to provide parameters to `AmitFunctionOne' and run it"
  hiDisplayForm(
    hiCreateLayoutForm( 'AmitFunctionOne_form "Custom Form"
      hiCreateFormLayout( 'main_layout
        ?items
        list(
          hiCreateStringField( ?name 'layer  ?prompt "Layer"  )
          hiCreateFloatField(  ?name 'number ?prompt "Number" )
        )
      )
      ?callback
      lambda( (form)
        ;; Fetch form values and call main function
        AmitFunctionOne( form->layer->value form->number->value )
      )
    )
  )
)

In the menu you call the GUI function : 

item1 = hiCreateMenuItem( ?name 'item1 ?itemText "My First Item" ?callback "AmitFunctionOne_gui()" )
