woodman78 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi, I am trying to code a dcl file to create a dialog with a box of 2 columns of 2 radio buttons and under that a box with 2 columns of 7 radio buttons each. I keep getting errors in the dcl. Can anyone help?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman78 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I was only using a lisp to load the dialog box just to get the layout right first. I hadn't started on that before I knew if it was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I was only using a lisp to load the dialog box just to get the layout right first. I hadn't started on that before I knew if it was possible. I was going on your first description, However you seem to want this now done different and I am not sure of what you are describing. Also I need the lisp you were using to test the dcl. I do not care if it is complete or not. You mentioned you tested it, So you must have something? I am just trying to help you, But you need to be clear in your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buzzard Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Here is your dcl and a lsp I provided for testing. Your main problem was naming the boxed_radio_column which you called boxed_radio_column_1 so on & so forth. You also had some rows misplaced and no columns. Please try to develope a neater format, It will help to avoid some mistakes. I will let you finish the rest. Use the examples I provided above. If you should get stuck, Let me know. DCL radio : dialog { //dialog name label = "Existing Storm Sewers" ; //give it a label : row { : column { : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "Choose a Type" ; //*give it a label : radio_button { //*define radion button key = "T1" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &1" ; //*give it a label //value = "1" ; //*switch it on } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T2" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &2" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition } } : column { : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T3" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &3" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T4" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &4" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition } } //*end column } //*end row : row { : column { : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "Choose a Size" ; //*give it a label : radio_button { //*define radion button key = "S1" ; //*give it a name label = "1500mm" ; //*give it a label //value = "1" ; //*switch it on } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S2" ; //*give it a name label = "1350mm" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition } } : column { : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "?" ; //*give it a label : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S3" ; //*give it a name label = "1200mm" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S4" ; //*give it a name label = "1050mm" ; //*give it a label } //*end definition } } } : row { //define row ok_cancel ; //predifined OK/Cancel : paragraph { //define paragraph : text_part { //define text label = "Designed by Brian Deasy"; //give it some text } //end text : text_part { //define more text label = "for CCC NNRDO"; //some more text } //end text } //end paragraph } //end row } //end dialog LSP (defun C:RADIO () (setq dcl_id (load_dialog "radio.dcl")) ;load dialog (if (not (new_dialog "radio" dcl_id) ;test for dialog );not (progn (alert "Can not find your dcl file") (exit) ;exit if no dialog ) );if (action_tile "cancel" ;if cancel button pressed "(done_dialog)(setq userclick nil)" ;close dialog, set flag );action_tile (action_tile "accept" ;if O.K. pressed "(done_dialog)(setq userclick T))" ;???

woodman78 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for that Buzzard. What I was trying to do was as you have done but instead of having one column which makes the window long, was to have two columns but with the boxes as you have them? Is that possible??

The Buzzard Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for that Buzzard. What I was trying to do was as you have done but instead of having one column which makes the window long, was to have two columns but with the boxes as you have them? Is that possible?? Many things are possible, But try to make the attempt. You need to take out the (: row {) and its end bracket (}) on the second group of buttons. Try to keep a neat format. I would suggest you trying to use a popup list to save space instead of the radio buttons. If I get some time I could make an example for you. I am just a little busy at the moment. A popup list will save you alot of space, But would involve less dcl coding and more lsp coding. Just something new for you to learn.

woodman78 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I got that sorted Buzzard but ran into another little problem. When the dialog is loaded I can select one item per row. I have been looking at examples on the web and they seem to only have one or one column per boxed_column. radio1 : dialog { //*dialog name label = "Existing Storm Sewers"; //*give it a label : row { //*define row : column { //*define column : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "Choose a Type"; //*give it a label : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radion button key = "T1"; //*give it a name label = "Type &1"; //*give it a label //value = "1"; //*switch it on } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T3"; //*give it a name label = "Type &3"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T2"; //*give it a name label = "Type &2"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T4" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &4"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row } //*end boxed_radio_column } //*end column } //*end row : row { //*define row : column { //*define column : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "Choose a Size"; //*give it a label : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radion button key = "S1" ; //*give it a name label = "1500mm"; //*give it a label value = "1"; //*switch it on } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S2"; //*give it a name label = "1350mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S3"; //*give it a name label = "1200mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S4"; //*give it a name label = "1050mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S5"; //*give it a name label = "900mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S6"; //*give it a name label = "750mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S7"; //*give it a name label = "675mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S8"; //*give it a name label = "600mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S9"; //*give it a name label = "525mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S10"; //*give it a name label = "450mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S11"; //*give it a name label = "375mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S12"; //*give it a name label = "300mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row : row { //*define row : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S13"; //*give it a name label = "225mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "S14"; //*give it a name label = "150mm"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end row } //*end boxed_radio_column } //*end column } //*end row : row { //*define row : column { //*define column ok_cancel ; //*predifined OK/Cancel : paragraph { //*define paragraph : text_part { //*define more text label = "CCC NNRDO v1.0.21.07.2009"; //*some more text } //*end text } //*end paragraph } //*end column } //*end row } //*end dialog I'll have a look at the popup list. I know the guys in my office and if they have to scroll through 2 popup lists to find what they are looking there will throw a wobler!! If you are doing a complex drainage drawings then the radio are much quicker. Thanks for the push!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Can you post the code? I will take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This code is revised. No more bad argument nil errors. The DCL contains four radio buttons with a popup list. The buttons and list will save last entry for the drawing session. Program also has a built-in loop. Just remember that popup list are still faster than no code at all. With the features that were added this is a very fast and compact method. DCL popup : dialog { //*dialog name label = "Existing Storm Sewers"; //*give it a label : row { //*define row : column { //*define column : boxed_radio_column { //*define radio column label = "Choose a Type"; //*give it a label : radio_button { //*define radion button key = "T1"; //*give it a name label = "Type &1"; //*give it a label //value = "1"; //*switch it on } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T2"; //*give it a name label = "Type &2"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T3"; //*give it a name label = "Type &3"; //*give it a label } //*end definition : radio_button { //*define radio button key = "T4" ; //*give it a name label = "Type &4"; //*give it a label } //*end definition } //*end boxed_radio_column } //*end column } //*end row : row { //*define row : boxed_column { //*define boxex_column : popup_list { label = "Choose a Size"; //*give it a label key = "S1"; edit_width = 8; } : spacer { height = 0; } } //*end boxed_column } //*end row : row { //*define row : column { //*define column ok_cancel ; //*predifined OK/Cancel : paragraph { //*define paragraph : text_part { //*define text label = "Designed by Brian Deasy"; //*give it some text } //*end text : text_part { //*define more text label = "for CCC NNRDO"; //*some more text } //*end text } //*end paragraph } //*end column } //*end row } //*end dialog LSP (defun C:POPUP () (POPUP_MF) (princ) ) (defun POPUP_MF (/ SIZE$ SIZE# HOLE SIZE) (or H:OLE (setq H:OLE "T1")) (setq SIZE 1500) (setq S1_list '("1500mm" "1350mm" "1250mm" "1050mm" "900mm" "750mm" "675mm" "600mm" "525mm" "450mm" "375mm" "300mm" "225mm" "150mm")) (setq dcl_id (load_dialog "popup.dcl")) (if (not (new_dialog "popup" dcl_id)) (progn (alert "Can not find your dcl file") (exit))) (start_list "S1") (mapcar 'add_list S1_list) (end_list) (set_tile H:OLE "1") (action_tile "T1" "(setq H:OLE \"T1\")") (action_tile "T2" "(setq H:OLE \"T2\")") (action_tile "T3" "(setq H:OLE \"T3\")") (action_tile "T4" "(setq H:OLE \"T4\")") (if SIZE:DEF (set_tile "S1" (itoa SIZE:DEF))) (action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog)(setq userclick nil)") (action_tile "accept" (strcat "(progn (setq S:IZE (atoi (get_tile \"S1\")) SIZE:DEF S:IZE)" "(done_dialog)(setq userclick T))")) (start_dialog) (unload_dialog dcl_id) (if userclick (VARIABLE) ) (princ) ) (defun VARIABLE () (progn (cond ((= H:OLE "T1")) ((= H:OLE "T2")) ((= H:OLE "T3")) ((= H:OLE "T4")) ) ) (setq HOLE H:OLE) (progn (setq SIZE$ (fix S:IZE)) (setq SIZE$ (nth S:IZE S1_list)) (cond ((= SIZE$ "1500mm")(setq SIZE# 1500)) ((= SIZE$ "1350mm")(setq SIZE# 1350)) ((= SIZE$ "1250mm")(setq SIZE# 1250)) ((= SIZE$ "1050mm")(setq SIZE# 1050)) ((= SIZE$ "900mm")(setq SIZE# 900)) ((= SIZE$ "750mm")(setq SIZE# 750)) ((= SIZE$ "675mm")(setq SIZE# 675)) ((= SIZE$ "600mm")(setq SIZE# 600)) ((= SIZE$ "525mm")(setq SIZE# 525)) ((= SIZE$ "450mm")(setq SIZE# 450)) ((= SIZE$ "375mm")(setq SIZE# 375)) ((= SIZE$ "300mm")(setq SIZE# 300)) ((= SIZE$ "225mm")(setq SIZE# 225)) ((= SIZE$ "150mm")(setq SIZE# 150)) ) ) (setq SIZE (RTOS SIZE# 2 0)) (ANSWER) (princ) ) (defun ANSWER () (progn (ALERT (strcat "Hole selected is: "HOLE"")) (ALERT (strcat "Size selected is: "SIZE"mm")) ) (POPUP_MF) (princ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 And now here are two popup lists that work in the same manner. Instead of having the program report back what you selected, You can use the variables to execute or use in your functions. Note that the variable SIZE# is for a real number incase you need to use a real. I did not know if you needed this, But I included it anyway. I hope these examples will give you an idea as to what can be done with the programming. DCL popup2 : dialog { //*dialog name label = "Existing Storm Sewers"; //*give it a label : row { //*define row : boxed_column { //*define boxex_column : popup_list { label = "Choose a Hole Type"; //*give it a label key = "T1"; edit_width = 8; } : spacer { height = 0; } } //*end column } //*end row : row { //*define row : boxed_column { //*define boxex_column : popup_list { label = "Choose a Size"; //*give it a label key = "S1"; edit_width = 8; } : spacer { height = 0; } } //*end boxed_column } //*end row : row { //*define row : column { //*define column ok_cancel ; //*predifined OK/Cancel : paragraph { //*define paragraph : text_part { //*define text label = "Designed by Brian Deasy"; //*give it some text } //*end text : text_part { //*define more text label = "for CCC NNRDO"; //*some more text } //*end text } //*end paragraph } //*end column } //*end row } //*end dialog LSP (defun C:POPUP2 () (POPUP_MF) (princ) ) (defun POPUP_MF (/ HOLE$ SIZE$ SIZE# HOLE SIZE) (setq SIZE# 1500) (setq T1_list '("Type 1" "Type 2" "Type 3" "Type 4")) (setq S1_list '("1500mm" "1350mm" "1200mm" "1050mm" "900mm" "750mm" "675mm" "600mm" "525mm" "450mm" "375mm" "300mm" "225mm" "150mm")) (setq dcl_id (load_dialog "popup2.dcl")) (if (not (new_dialog "popup2" dcl_id)) (progn (alert "Can not find your dcl file") (exit))) (start_list "T1") (mapcar 'add_list T1_list) (end_list) (start_list "S1") (mapcar 'add_list S1_list) (end_list) (if HOLE2:DEF (set_tile "T1" (itoa HOLE2:DEF))) (if SIZE2:DEF (set_tile "S1" (itoa SIZE2:DEF))) (action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog)(setq userclick nil)") (action_tile "accept" (strcat "(progn (setq H:OLE2 (atoi (get_tile \"T1\")) HOLE2:DEF H:OLE2)" "(setq S:IZE2 (atoi (get_tile \"S1\")) SIZE2:DEF S:IZE2)" "(done_dialog)(setq userclick T))")) (start_dialog) (unload_dialog dcl_id) (if userclick (VARIABLE) ) (princ) ) (defun VARIABLE () (progn (setq HOLE$ (fix H:OLE2)) (setq HOLE$ (nth H:OLE2 T1_list)) (cond ((= HOLE$ "TYPE 1")) ((= HOLE$ "TYPE 2")) ((= HOLE$ "TYPE 3")) ((= HOLE$ "TYPE 4")) ) ) (setq HOLE HOLE$) (progn (setq SIZE$ (fix S:IZE2)) (setq SIZE$ (nth S:IZE2 S1_list)) (cond ((= SIZE$ "1500mm")(setq SIZE# 1500)) ((= SIZE$ "1350mm")(setq SIZE# 1350)) ((= SIZE$ "1200mm")(setq SIZE# 1200)) ((= SIZE$ "1050mm")(setq SIZE# 1050)) ((= SIZE$ "900mm")(setq SIZE# 900)) ((= SIZE$ "750mm")(setq SIZE# 750)) ((= SIZE$ "675mm")(setq SIZE# 675)) ((= SIZE$ "600mm")(setq SIZE# 600)) ((= SIZE$ "525mm")(setq SIZE# 525)) ((= SIZE$ "450mm")(setq SIZE# 450)) ((= SIZE$ "375mm")(setq SIZE# 375)) ((= SIZE$ "300mm")(setq SIZE# 300)) ((= SIZE$ "225mm")(setq SIZE# 225)) ((= SIZE$ "150mm")(setq SIZE# 150)) ) ) (setq SIZE (RTOS SIZE# 2 0)) (ANSWER) (princ) ) (defun ANSWER () (progn (ALERT (strcat "Hole selected is: "HOLE" ")) (ALERT (strcat "Size selected is: "SIZE"mm ")) ) (POPUP_MF) (princ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman78 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for that Buzzard. I have to say it is a very neat solution and the more I run it the more I am being won over to the ways of the popup box. I have kept the dcl the same and tried to modify the lsp as below in the answer routine to use the hole and size to create a linetype name and layer name and then run that out thru a polyline as I had before. I am getting bad function errors. I think I am right in saying the in answer HOLE and SIZE are already converted to strings so I don't need to convert them any further. Is that correct???

I am glad you saw the light and yes, At that point they are strings. If you get stuck, Just let me know. I will look at the additions and get back to you later.

If you get stuck, Just let me know.I will look at the addtions and get back to you later. woodman78, Again I do not have your linetypes, So I am working blind folded here. Use the dcl & lsp below. I had to remove some paren from you additions. Program now stops to look for the linetype as I have mentioned I do not have. This should work for you. Type POPUP3 to start. Just make sure you use both codes below only.

woodman78 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 That seems to do it alright. Just one thing though. When I run the lsp it loads the dialog box and when I choose my options and press OK it disappears. I start to draw the pline and at the second point the box reappears and I have to press OK again. the Pline command then starts again. Does the box need to be hidden on the userclick?? Here is the code that I made a few small changes to to get the linetypes to load and the linetype file.
