Interactive Form

AA202603241137

I am planning to create a script but this needs to have a form that is interactive.  The form changes depend on the number of layers in the PCB.  My idea to list all the layers of the PCB in the form and also have a checkbox beside each layer name.  But my knowledge on the form is basic only. I only use TEXT, GROUP, MENUBOTTON, STRFILLIN.  Can somebody guide or educate me.  Thank you.

    Hi   Have you checked the form examples located in %CDSROOT%\share\pcb\examples\skill\form? Specially the one in the folder "basic", it has examples of many other fields that you can use for your own applications. 

    Now, if you need the form to change depending on the database you're using, I would recommend you create the form file within the SKILL code. That way you can create it dynamically. After all, it's a regular text file creation.

    Hi Juan,  I manage to display the form that you mention in the example skill form folder.  And this gives me a different idea or approach of the script that I want to create.  I can create a 2 list box Left listbox and right list box.  The left will listed all the layers in the PCB and the user will only move or transfer the layer to the right, so that the script will apply the function intend on the layers listed on the right list box. Instead of creating a checkbox.  I done it before but i will just recall how i do it.  Thank you so much.
