build a popup of "Temp Group"

SkilSiao

Hi all, I want to make an item of "Temp Group" in Right-click popup (which is same as "copy" "move" command)

so that user can make continuous selection.

my function look like this:

mypopup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil '(
    ("Done" "axlDBTransactionCommit(mark), axlFinishEnterFun()")
    ("Oops" "axlDBTransactionOops(mark), when(zerop(--oopsNum), printf(\"Nothing Selected!\\n\")")
    ("Cancel" "axlDBTransactionRollback(mark), axlCancelEnterFun()")
    ("MENU_SEPARATOR", nil)
 ("Temp Group" "axlUIPopupSet(mypopup1) ... "))) ; end define the popup
 axlUICmdPopupSet(mypopup)

 mypopup1 =  axlUIPopupDefine(nil '(
    ("Done" "axlDBTransactionCommit(mark), axlFinishEnterFun()")
    ("Oops" "axlDBTransactionOops(mark), when(zerop(--oopsNum), printf(\"Nothing Selected!\\n\")")
    ("Cancel" "axlDBTransactionRollback(mark), axlCancelEnterFun()")
    ("MENU_SEPARATOR", nil)
 ("Complete" " ... "))) ; end define the popup
 axlUIPopupSet(mypopup1)

 axlSetFindFilter(?enabled ... ?onButtons ...)

 while( axlSelect(?prompt sprintf(nil "Select object(s) to continue.\n"))

temp_list = axlGetSelSet()

caseq(length(temp_list)  (0 ...) (1 ...) (t ...)

) ; end caseq

) ; end while

I have been thinking of how to write function for the "Temp Group" and "Complete" so that the selection done by user

can be stored in temp_list, because in the while loop, the temp_list = axlGetSelSet() to allow a single selection.

 anyone can help. thanks in advance.

  • Hi Silver, thanks for the suggestion. i am going through the code... actually my problem is like this: I want to write a two-stage prompting selection by user... Just like "copy" command, first prompt user to select object(s), then followed by prompting user for a point of copy origin (User Pick), and Oops is available during the command for user to reselect object(s) or origin. my coding looks something like this, (i skip certain portion as it will be too long to read...) the Oops/ Cancel/ Done popup are standard, linking to DBTransactionOops/ RollBack/ Commit. mark = axlDBTransactionStart() not_done = t while( not_done axlSelect(?prompt "Select object(s) to continue.") axlDBTransactionMark(mark) selected_obj = axlGetSelSet() axlClearSelSet() axlHighlightObject(selected_obj nil) one_point = axlEnterPoint(?prompts "Select a point.") printf("the point selected is %L.\n" one_point) );end while The problem is, after selecting the objects (1st stage), if Right click->Oops is entered, the while loop will continue to 2nd stage (select a Point). even I add in another TransactionMark after the axlEnterPoint. Is there a way to achieve the two select prompting with the Oops? Thanks in advance.
