How do you do it?

BTW, if anyone is interested; there is way to deal with the situation when
the next tile is disabled and also a way to set up the next tile stuff so it
works "behind the scenes" without writing this code for each callback (or
even calling a generic function). If interested, start a new thread 'cause
this one may not be here tomorrow.

As the author of this question, I feel I must speak out.
I don't mind if someone "shamelessly 'recommends'" software.
What I really hate though, is the flame-fest that seems to to be trailing a legit answer to my question, product-or-no.
I really hate having to look at 18 replys, only to find 2 solutions! If you don't like Chad's answer, post a different one, like Cliff did. Don't whine!!!!

I wouldn't consider anyone that had been
involved with this thread (to this point) a whiner.

God forbid you should have to read more than one post to find what

That's not what I meant. I don't mind looking through postings to find a solution, if they are teaching me something. But I don't see why I must dig through a flame-fest, or a private argument on the merits of product plugging just because someone did it here. If his product is a solution to my problem, so be it. Why should I be forced to sit through a political debate, when I didn't ask about politics?

Simple. It is because the two taboo topics (religion and politics) are also
essential.

Besides, I like to get to know the people here a bit and these types of
discussion reveal character. Enjoy.

Point.

I'm all for shameless plugging. Especially when someone shamelessly plugs
themselves by posting code that's better than the code that the first
bonehead posted 🙂

Jeez! Been away for a while, and I can't believe that I had to read
umpty-two dubious responses before I came upon yours. Thank you, Cliff!

I've done similar things for a particular client, but using a (cond ...)
form to direct the focus. No big deal.

I consider Kevin Nehls a 'whiner' and has the wrong information (cwanless has for the most
part mentioned his product in his posting but not always, if your going to make a blanket statement like that
at lease get it correct).
Also the majority of the most insightful and intelligent threads on this discussion group come
from people that have there own web site/product and mention it in some way in the message.
I have no problem with anyone saying 'there product solves my problem' and anyone that does I think will be
doomed to live in a limited universe. Autodesk cannot and will not address everyone's concerns.
I personally have many add-ons that I have developed and bought from many of the people in this discussion group,
and they are great.
Keep telling me what your products does and where to find it.

If we have a default button on the form, will it
mess things up? If so, we should not use the
standard ok (if it's default button, I don't
remember exactly), but rather just make one
ourselves without that attribute.

Great thinking, Bobby! 🙂

Good question, Vlad. I don't know. I don't pay much attention to it. I
should mention that I use the same "action" argument to all new_dialog
calls. This function contains the code to move the focus and checks to see
if the current tile has a subr associated with it to run application
specific tasks relating to that tile.
