List box from Lee Mac I can not get it to work

[j_spawn_h]

I found Lee Macs list box and i changed it to fit what i need. For the life of me i can not get the value of the list box to populate at the end. I get my radio buttons to get me the text at the end but not the list box. I know it is probably real simple fix but can not figure it out.

 

(defun c:bm1 ( / *error* UpdateList data dclfile dclhandle )


    ;; This program demonstrates how to update a secondary list_box based
  ;; on user selection from a primary list_box.

  ;; Example courtesy of Lee Mac © 2010 (www.lee-mac.com)

  ;; Accompanying DCL File:

   (setq dclFile "newcloudredline.dcl")
  
  ;; Ensure this file resides in an AutoCAD Support Path

  (defun *error* ( msg )

    ;; Error Handler - will unload the dialog
    ;; from memory should the user decide to hit Esc

    (if dclHandle (unload_dialog dclHandle))
    (or (wcmatch (strcase msg) "*BREAK,*CANCEL*,*EXIT*")
        (princ (strcat "\n** Error: " msg " **")))
    (princ)
  )

  (defun UpdateList ( key lst )

    ;; This function updates the list_box associated with the specified key
    ;; using the contents of the supplied lst

    (start_list key)
    (mapcar 'add_list lst)
    (end_list)
  )

  ;; Data used to Populate List_Boxes:
  ;; I've chosen to use this list structure because it suits the data,
  ;; but there are many other possibilities.

      ;; Here, when the user selects an item from 'lst1', the UpdateList subfunction
      ;; is fired to update the items in list_box 'lst2'.

      ;; list_box 'lst2' is also set to the value of *Model* if the index is
      ;; available for the selected item, else the first item is selected.

      ;; that the user has selected.

You actually have 2 lists not 1 so need a drop down arrangement for floors and another for roof. ie 2 separate lists boxes.
