Directory structure

[Archiman86]

Hello all,

 

I am in need of some help. I am trying to create a dialog box that will help with processing multiple drawing files. I want to be able to add and remove from a list displayed in the dialog box as necassary. I guess it would be similar to a batch plot dialog, where I need to be able to search the typical windows directory structure in order to add files. I know this is pretty difficult, and not wise to do in Lisp, but I am not familiar with other languages yet. Do you know of any way to do this relatively easily, or resources that explain how to do it.

 

Thanks in advance

:D:D

 

Some great LISPs on there dealing with Dialog Boxes with the structure you require.

Geez Lee,

 

This "plot drawings" lisp is WAY over my head. I cant even figure out how the dialog box is set up, in order to learn from it.

 

...any less complex examples?

[Lee Mac]

That was the first that came to mind ~ some of the LISPs on that site are mind-numbing...

 

Like, take a look at "TROY" on that link... :shock: :shock:

thats just plain insane. I couldn't even imagine drawings one asteroid stationary in lisp, let alone making a game out of it!

 

I did however just find these links:

the file "bp.lsp" brings up a similar file search dialog, now i just need to figure out how to decypher the code.

Well, getfiled is a good function to use -

 

make sure you understand the differences in the bit-codes

You can use OpenDCL to make Tree Control for AutoLISP programs.
