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, Many thanks.

    Yes, it is a two-stage prompt in aln command, From Select Object(s) to Choose Action.

    I find that the doPickH() is called from the callback function (correct me if i am mistaken)  and not

    initiated from the while loop which resides in the main function. It is a good idea as it does offer

    another approach (from form button) to capture users' one-by-one input.

     

    refer to the following coding (Sorry abt my previous posts as i was with google Chrome), i want to

    prompt user for two inputs, first is object and the second is a point :

     not_done = t

    mark = axlDBTransactionStart()  

    while( not_done axlSelect(?prompt "Select object(s) to continue.")

    selected_obj = axlGetSelSet()

    axlDBTransactionMark(mark)  axlClearSelSet()
    axlHighlightObject(selected_obj nil)
    one_point = axlEnterPoint(?prompts "Select a point.")
    printf("the point selected is %L.\n" one_point)
    );end while

    I am wondering whether it is possible to "oops" from the "Select a point" back to "Select

    object(s)". Everytime when I "oops" (axlDBTransactionOops)  it will just continue the while loop

    (select a point) instead of going back to top...
