getting the active command

Ejlersen

Hi

I'm working on a small skill program that should only be available during "add connect", but I've not figured out a way to get the active command in skill

Using axlGetCmdSupplementalData() will show "add connect" as the command using pre-selection mode, but if the user selects  

Route->Connect then it will return nil as the command. This is also in alignment with the description for axlGetCmdSupplementalData()

But does anyone know if there's a way to get the name of the active command?

Best regards

Ole

    Hi Craig

    This is possible, just register the program as "general" - that will coexist with other general and interactive commands.

    I've already got my program running nicely, will share the code when I'm back at work tomorrow, so this is possible, I would just like to aboid confusing missing form warnings if executed within another command.

     Best regards
