Hiding LISP code in CUI button

[Strydaris]

Hey everyone,

 

I am trying to figure out how to hide some LISP code from displaying in the command line when using a CUI custom command.

I am trying to add an area in my CUI for the user to set some variables that will be used on multiple LISPs.

I current made a custom command that has just this....

^C^C(setq F2B (getreal "Enter Front to Back slopes: "))

But when I click the buttom in the CUI I get this...

^C^C(setq F2B (getreal "Enter Front to Back slopes:")) Enter Front to Back slopes:

Is there anyway to hide the LISP code or would I have to take a different approach?

 

Thanks,

So I found out the answer to my own question.

 

If you are looking to hide part of you macro in the command line, you needs to wrap it a "^P" (Ignore the quotes)

For example, here is a simple lisp code that I want to use to ask the user to set some variables that can / will be used in multiple lisps.

^C^C^P(setq F2B (getreal "Enter Rise for Front to Back slopes: "))

By adding the ^P it will no longer show the "CODE" part of it, but will show the prompt of "Enter Rise for Front to Back slopes: " on the command line.
