How to open a form

ahkuih

I am a skill newbie and does anyone know how to open a form? I am allegro editor user. thanks.

  • (setq mw ( axlFormCreate (gensym) "formname.form" '(e window border) 'function t ))
    or
     
    mw  = axlFormCreate( gensym() "formname.form" list(e window border) 'function t )
     
        mw - the form handle
        formname.form -  the form control file
        'function - the function name of the form handler
     
    The '(e window border) stuff controls placement and appearance.
       
    All this is in the Allegro SKILL reference (page 512 in the 16.2 version)
     
    RTFM

  •  Hi ahkuih,

    I will assume you have some background in a high level language. If that is the case, my best suggestion is to open some of the sample SKILL files from SourceLink and figure out what they're doing. Of course, you'll want the SKILL  Reference, and SKILL Language User Guide at hand. Take a look at the files and see what you can figure out.

    If you have no experience writing code, that's another story.

  •  Hi again ahkuih,

    I just discovered axlFormIntroDoc.txt, axlFormBNFDoc.txt, and axlFormFlexDoc.txt in $CDSROOT\share\pcb\examples\skill\DOC\FUNCS. That might help you as well.

    There are various ways to create forms so I still suggest looking at existing SKILL programs to see what other options you have.
