Procedure in the while loop

What are you planning  to do in the loop? 

If it is some user interaction with selection then use the axlEnterEvent() .

Otherwise look at the axlCancelOff, axlCancelOn, axlCancelTest  functions.

Hi B Bruekers,

I have a code to align the vias (vertical or horizonthal). I want to align the VIAS inside of the while loop. The VIAs are selected using

dbid_vias = axlGetSelSet(axlSingleSelectBox()). For example I select three VIAs to aligne them, then next four VIAs, then next ten Vias and so on.

This function should work until Escape (or another termination) is pressed, which means "No more VIAs to aligned".

I hope this explained a function.

Best regards

Juri

Thank you very much, I will try it

I tested the function "axlEnterEvent" again. By Mouse CLICK the Message "This is a Test CLICK" appears. If Escape (CANCEL) is pressed - "End of Loop". But how the DONE could be used? You mentioned the CANCEL and DONE should be connected to the RMB automaticaly.

Hier is the code:

procedure( EnterEvent()
let(( loop event)
eventMask = '( PICK CANCEL DONE)
loop = t
while( loop   
   
     event = axlEnterEvent(eventMask, nil, t)
     case(event -> type
    
     ('PICK             
    printf("This is a Test CLICK")  

     ); end PICK

 ('CANCEL
     printf("End of Loop")
     loop=nil        
 );end CANCEL
 
 ('DONE
     printf("End of Loop")
     loop=nil
 );end DONE

    );end while
  );end case     
 );end let
);end procedure

You must bind the SKILL function to a command line function : axlCmdRegister( "EnterEvent" 'EnterEvent  ?cmdType "interactive")

Doing so and starting the command from the command line results in:

scriptmode +e

EnterEvent

EnterEvent

prepopup 143.484 -183.964

pop Done

End of Loop DONE

generaledit

EnterEvent

EnterEvent

prepopup 107.355 -201.512

pop Cancel

End of Loop CANCEL

generaledit

(I've added a Done and Cancel to the printf())

Ok, Thanks.
This works in Command Mode only, not in the SKILL Mode. That is my mistake.

Hi,
Do you know how is possible to change the CHECKBOX in the FORM during the while loop?
Like in your Example, I put in the STOPDRAG section:

procedure "Do something 1" if CHECKBOX in the FORM is checked

procedure "Do something 2" if CHECKBOX in the FORM is NOT checked

In my code this not works. I have to interrupt (e.g. with axlCancelOn()) the WHILE loop to check/or uncheck the CHECKBOX. Do you know if this works without  interruption?

Thanks
