Is there a way to determine (by lisp) if a command is in progress?

Hello,

Is there a way to determine (by lisp) if a command is in progress?

I want to make a macro that can do either the first thing (if a command is in progress) or or the second thing if there is no command in progress.

TNx.

Cmdactive maybe?

(if (> (getvar 'CmdActive) 0))
     (do first);if True
     (do second);if nil
)

You'll probably run into problems if you try and execute functions/commands while a command is active.

YOu mean like this:

(if (> (getvar 'CmdActive) 0)
     (do first);if True
     (do second);if nil
)

Thank you. I will try and post my reaction soon.

CMDACTIVE is actually bit-coded, so you might want to look into such functions as logand/logior.
