List Box with 4 panes (list boxes) - Insert Action

February 28, 2020

Hey Guys,

I am trying to write a lisp that has 4 or 5 list boxes. "LS1" would be the main list that appears on the first pane. When you click on "General" then second list box then would contain "LS2" as a sub category on the second pane. Then, if for example "LDF" from the second list/ pane is selected, "LS3" would show up on third list box and hopefully upon double clicking, it would insert a block from "LS3" list. Hopefully someone can follow my logic here and provide some help as to how to go about it.

Thanks guys.

The original lisp in done by Lee Mac in 2015

If you look at Lee Macs website, I am sure he has an example somewhere to do something similar (http://www.lee-mac.com/), (http://www.lee-mac.com/listboxsync.html)if this is what you are meaning?

No. What I am meaning is the method to embed one list into another so when a keyword is selected, it leads to another list and another selection.

If you run the lisp, you may get a bit more information - it is harder to explain in words than you trying it.

@Lee Mac

Hey Lee,

I created the list boxes, thanks to your great work, and was wondering if I could have your help in inserting blocks based on the selection.

Example:

C:CABLE 
The user selected: GENERAL, LDF, LDF2 - 50A

"LDF2 - 50A" to insert a block.

Could you please let me know what variable I should be choosing to make a condition and whether or not it should be within the first (if ...) ?

Thanks again

No worries! I found my way!

(setq luckylist (LM:dcld:getitems rtn lst))
(setq luckylist (nth 2 luckylist))  
	(cond
		((= luckylist "LDF2 - 50A")(alert "LDF2 - 50A is Selected"))
		;the rest

Thanks
