Update a dcl Lisp

November 7

Hi I want to update a DCL lisp

I want to add a pull down menu in the dcl file with two options

1) Option 1

2) Option 2

In Option 1 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24)) and t2 = 322.58

In Option2 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24)) and t2 = 354.84

(defun c:test (/ *error* dch dcl des a)
             
            (defun *error* ( msg )
                (if (and (= 'int (type dch)) (< 0 dch))
                    (unload_dialog dch)
                )

Any idea how to add a pull down menu in the dcl dialog ?

Thanks

Not sure what is a pull down menu ? A dcl can have various methods Radio Buttons, Toogles, edit box, List box. You can also do Child dcls these pop up over the top of current dcl for say more choices.

Can you post some form of image about what you want.

PS a pull down menu is known as a POP menu ie the menu options that sit at the top of your screen. Can not have in a dcl.

I think what you need is a PopUp_List: http://www.jefferypsanders.com/autolisp_DCL_Part4.html

Hi BIGAL. I want to add "pull down menu" like the Image

with two options

1) Option 1

2) Option 2

In Option 1 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24)) and t2 = 322.58

In Option2 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24)) and t2 = 354.84

In the image have days , I want option 1 and option2 .

Thanks

Copying and pasting from my LISPs, something like this in the DCL coding:

"       :column { width = 5;"
"         : text { key = \"File\"; label = \"List Title\"; width = 5; alignment = left;}"
"       }"
"       :column { width = 22;"
"         :popup_list { key = \"DCLList\"; width = 20; multiple_select = true ; alignment = left; }"
"       }"

and then where you set tiles something like this:

(setq MyList '("A" "B" "C" "D" "E"))
(start_list "DCLList" 3)(mapcar 'add_list MyList)(end_list);;create Lisp files list

You can just add the list '("A" "B" ....) in the mapcar MyList part but I find it easier to set up the list first and then add it later

OK

"       :column { width = 5;"
"         : text { key = \"File\"; label = \"Select Option\"; width = 5; alignment = left;}"
"       }"
"       :column { width = 22;"
"         :popup_list { key = \"DCLList\"; width = 20; multiple_select = true ; alignment = left; }"
"       }"

(setq MyList '("Option1" "Option2"))
(start_list "DCLList" 3)(mapcar 'add_list MyList)(end_list);;create Lisp files list

And how to use different syntax for eatch option?

In Option 1 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24)) and t2 = 322.58

In Option2 t1 = (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24)) and t2 = 354.84

You can use action tile to grab when the drop down list has changed and use get_tile which will give you the position you selected ("Option 1" will give 0, "Option 2" will give 1 for example) and from there do an if or cond to work out what you need to know.

Something like this

  (action_tile "DCLList" "(setq MyAnswer (read (get_tile \"DCLList\")))
                            (If (= MyAnswer 0)(setq T1 123.456
                                                    T2 789.012
                                              ) ; end setq
                            ) ; end if
                         "
  )

overall something like this, update the action tile for the drop down as required. You might want to set the value of T1 and T2 to position a default value in case the user doesn't select anything in the drop down, or have the first item in the list a blank text "" (you can set the drop down list selection to something when you start the DCL, say "C" is the most common option, have that as default... so set the values to this default before you start)

Hi Steven P . Something is missing for the code

 In Option 1  t1 =  (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24))  and  t2 = 322.58

In Option2   t1 =  (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24))  and  t2 = 354.84

The t1 is not the same

in option 1 (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24))

in option2 (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24))

and the t2

In Option 1 t2 = 322.58

In Option2 t2 = 354.84

Thanks

In the above I've only put in a few details as an example of how you could add in a drop down box - but like all CAD there are many ways to do the same thing. use the above to learn from.

In your specific example I'd do something like this though:

Add a default value to 'MyAnswer' early in the LISP to avoid errors later, value 0 - the first item in the drop down list

In the drop down list only set MyAnswer to the position of the selection. If you use the default above there is no error if the user does nothing with the list

Continue in the routing using the value of MyAnswer to set t1 and t2 where they are used and set - below using an if comment but if the drop down is longer, use conds.

(defun c:test (/ *error* dch dcl des a MyAnswer t1 t2)
  (defun *error* ( msg )
    (if (and (= 'int (type dch)) (< 0 dch))
      (unload_dialog dch)
    ) ; end if
    (if (= 'file (type des))
      (close des)
    ) ; end if
    (if (and (= 'str (type dcl)) (findfile dcl))
      (vl-file-delete dcl)
    ) ; end if
    (if (and msg (not (wcmatch (strcase msg t) "*break,*cancel*,*exit*")))

    (princ)
  ) ; end defun

Thanks Steven P. The code works fine.

I want to ask another question . If I understand correct

            if option2 then --> (setq t1 (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24)) 
                 unless this --> (setq t1 (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24))

I see in the code

(setq MyList '("Option 1" "Option 2" "D" "E"))

If I have

    (setq MyList '("Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3" "Option 4"))

And

in option 1 (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24))

in option 2 (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24))

in option 3 (/ (+ (* e 2.85) 95) 1.24))

in option 4 (/ (+ (* e 2.45) 75) 1.24))

and the t2

In Option 1 t2 = 322.58

In Option 2 t2 = 354.84

In Option 3 t2 = 384

In Option 4 t2 = 400

How to update the code. The question is how to update the code for more of two options?

Thanks

November 9

My take on the task is a little different I use a dcl I have 2 columns and make choices. I have to go right now but will come back with example. This is what I would have dcl look like with your option1 option2 option3 option4 etc

November 9

Hi BIGAL. I am tryin to avoid to duplicate the code an use two or three radio butttons for eatch option. If I have the the radio buttons how to update the code to work for all options without copy the code two or three times (one for each option)? Because the core of the code is the same , only the t1 and t2 change. Thats why I ask a "pull down menu".

Thanks

November 9

Yes, look at the code, hoping it is all there to look through and you can make changes as necessary.

MyList list can be extended, shortened and adjusted to suit.

The variable MyAnswer is the position of the selection in the drop down list (here Option 1 -> 0, Option 2 ->2 and so on). At the start of the code MyAnswer is set to a default (above it is 1, for Option 2, adjust to suit), for example you can change this part:

(if (= MyAnswer 1)
  (setq t1 (/ (+ (* e 2.75) 85) 1.24)) ;;option 2
  (setq t1 (/ (+ (* e 2.5) 75) 1.24))  ;; everything else
)

to a series of IF statements, (If (= MyAnswer 0)....), (If (= MyAnswer 1)....), ..... or use a COND statement.

Above I was assuming only 2 options, the value of T1 and T2 are either or, you just need to expand that to include for more options

Hi Steven P, I am not sure I understand correct. I try this and move pop list in the top of the dcl, but I think is not working correct in all options

I think Steven and Bigal have given some excellent and learnfull advise so far , but , your code is like getting too near to a black hole and is getting spaghettified.

And believe me , I'm an expert on black holes , just ask my wife ...

Anyways , maybe just taking count calcula out of the vl-princ-to-string environment could make it a bit more readable?

I'm not sure if I do the math correct because I see no real difference between the handling of (<= e 250) , (and (> e 250) (<= e 1000)) & (and (> e 250) (<= e 1000))

But I'll leave that up to you

code below is just meant as advise to supplement the ones posted before , not to compete.

And believe me , you don't want to compete with me because if I end up in a life threatening situation , I always carry a picture of my mother-in-law in my wallet! Yeah I know , that's cruel , even by my standards , but as a last resort.... and trust me , once seen , it cannot be unseen.

Thanks rlx. I get the idea.

I am still confused, is this what you want ? The code returns the buttons selected, then you can use that in a cond, with your formula, you can add more or less OPTIONX and T1 T2 T3 etc.

(defun test ( / )
(if (not ah:buttscol)(load "Multi Radio buttons 2col.lsp"))
(if (= ah:but nil)(setq ah:but 1))
(if (= ah:but2 nil)(setq ah:but2 1))
(setq lst1 (list "Select 1st option " "Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3" "Option 4"))
(setq lst2 (list "Select 2nd option " "T1 " "T2"))
(ah:buttscol ah:but ah:but2 "Please select " lst1 lst2)
(princ (setq ans1 (nth ah:2col lst1)))
(princ (setq ans2 (nth ah:2col2 lst2)))
(princ)
)
(test)

Result

Ans1 "Option 3"
Ans2 "T2"
