In the tutorial for "Getting Started with Dcl Dialogs", there are examples of all of the basic dcl tiles with an accompanying AutoLISP program to load and control the dialogs. The approach is learning by examples. The tutorial is intended for all AutoLISP programmers, from the novice to the advanced. AutoLISP programmers will find DclCalcs very beneficial while designing dialogs. Additional utilities are included to enhance the programming and control of Dcl Dialogs. | |

DclDemo06 is a dcl dialog demo program written by Phillip Norman. Among some of its main features are examples of how to use some common dcl dialog tiles and the AutoLISP code to drive them, how to make two clusters of radio_buttons behave as one cluster, how to align list items in columns in a list_box, and how to use the system registry to store the dialog box screen location. For additional information open the Readme.txt file. |
