Edit List Box

[bdrummond]

what is the dcl code for an editable list box? there are several autocad functions like find and bmake which use a edit list box. i can not find it in their help file.

IIRC - there is no such thing in DCL. The commands you mentioned do not use DCL.
ObjectDCL does provide this capability.

From my memory, DCL is for building dialog box.
In other words,
DCL is the cloth.
Program (core), like AutoLISP, is the body.

Hope this clarifies a little bit.

Based on the original post, I think he is looking for a drop-down control where the text can be input or edited. I didn't see that in your DCL file.

DCL provide just a few basic dialog elements. There's quite a few missging from the DCL language e.g.: The editable list box, Combo Box (drop down & edit), tabs, etc.

If you need to have this functionality in a lisp routine, you can try OpenDCL. The "ObjectDCL" rkmcswain spoke about in a previous post was changed to this. It's free open source, so you can download, use & distribute at will.

Sorry, I meant OpenDCL

Thanks.

Yep, not sure about the release version 4.1, but the beta version 5.0.7 has the runtime, studio & source code available: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=187950

Nice thing about the beta version: they've added the ability to create palettes instead of dialogs. Previously you could only use dockable forms, but now it works similar to a properties palette.
