giskumar Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Hi all I am new to DCL. I would like to make modeless dcl dialog. Is there any option to make dcl dialog mode less? Thanks in advance, Kumar. Quote
Tharwat Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 What do you mean by modeless dcl dialog ? I have not heard about modeless with dcl. Could you explain it a little bit more ? Tharwat Quote
Kerry Brown Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) A modeless dialog in Lisp can be built using OpenDCL available free at > http://www.opendcl.com/download/ site > http://opendcl.com/wordpress/ forum > http://www.opendcl.com/forum/ .. and palettes and forms with all expected controls and then some yes, I'm a fan.

Thanks Kerry. These links are really very helpful, and this is the first time that I see the procedure of Open DCL. I would read that and rise up any question that may come up. Highly appreciated.

Kerry Brown Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Probably best to ask questions at the OpenDCL forum or at theSwamp ... I don't think many here use OpenDCL. Be sure to look at and run the samples. The current version is stable, so you can use that, ie 6.0.1.1 Quote

Lee Mac Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 What do you mean by modeless dcl dialog ? I have not heard about modeless with dcl. Just to clarify for you: a modeless dialog is one that may remain on screen when focus is shifted to other items (an example would be the properties tool palette behaviour), hence a dialog that does not require the user to close it before interacting with anything else. The opposite is a modal dialog which doesn't allow the user to switch focus until it is closed. With standard DCL, only a modal dialog can be created. Quote
Tharwat Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Thank you so much Lee. Your explanations are greatly appreciated. I would read the reference and do the examples that given by Kerry, and certainly that would be a matter of coming up questions to the forum very soon. Thanks again for your time. Tharwat Quote
