non-blocking axlUIYesNo?

ttkka

Another basic question... I have looked through the Cadence SKILL documentation but haven't found anything, most likely due to my non-existent SKILL.

I'm trying to create a guidance script with YESNO messages but non-blocking so the user can do measurements while the message box is displayed before moving onto the next message box.  Is this possible with a standard SKILL command? If so, what is it called?

Thanks

    I don't thinks it's possible with the standard commands. Try something like this:

    defun( DE_uiYesNo (prompt @key (title "Choose"), (focus 'yes))
    let((fStr, embFID, form)
    defvar(MY_uiYesNo_result)
    sprintf(fStr, "FILE_TYPE=FORM_DEFN VERSION=2\nFORM\nFIXED\nPORT 30 10\n")
    sprintf(fStr, "%sHEADER \"%s\"\nTILE\n", fStr, title)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sTEXT \"%s\"\n\tTLOC 9 1\nENDTEXT\n", fStr, prompt)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sFIELD yes\n\tFLOC 2 6\n\tMENUBUTTON \"Yes\" 12 3\nENDFIELD\n", fStr)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sFIELD no\n\tFLOC 16 6\n\tMENUBUTTON \"No\" 12 3\nENDFIELD\n", fStr)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sENDTILE\nENDFORM\n", fStr)
    embFID = gensym()
    form = axlFormCreate(embFID, list(lsprintf("embeddedForm_%s", embFID), list(fStr)), '(E INNER), 'DE_uiYesNo_formAction, nil)
    axlFormSetActiveField(form, lowerCase(focus))
    axlFormDisplay(form)
    MY_uiYesNo_result
    ))

    defun( DE_uiYesNo_formAction (form)
    case(form ->curField
    ("yes", MY_uiYesNo_result = t)
    ("no", MY_uiYesNo_result = nil)
    )
    axlFormClose(form)
    axlCancelEnterFun()
    )

    You can also embed the form action:

    defun( DE_uiYesNo (prompt @key (title "Choose"), (focus 'yes))
    let((fStr, embFID, form)
    defvar(MY_uiYesNo_result)
    sprintf(fStr, "FILE_TYPE=FORM_DEFN VERSION=2\nFORM\nFIXED\nPORT 30 10\n")
    sprintf(fStr, "%sHEADER \"%s\"\nTILE\n", fStr, title)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sTEXT \"%s\"\n\tTLOC 9 1\nENDTEXT\n", fStr, prompt)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sFIELD yes\n\tFLOC 2 6\n\tMENUBUTTON \"Yes\" 12 3\nENDFIELD\n", fStr)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sFIELD no\n\tFLOC 16 6\n\tMENUBUTTON \"No\" 12 3\nENDFIELD\n", fStr)
    sprintf(fStr, "%sENDTILE\nENDFORM\n", fStr)
    embFID = gensym()
    form = axlFormCreate(embFID, list(lsprintf("embeddedForm_%s", embFID), list(fStr)), '(E INNER), "MY_uiYesNo_result= case(form->curField    (\"yes\" t)(\"no\" nil) (t nil) ) axlFormClose(form) axlCancelEnterFun()" nil)
    axlUIWDisableQuit(form)
    axlFormSetActiveField(form, lowerCase(focus))
    axlFormDisplay(form)
    MY_uiYesNo_result
    ))
