Custom panel button for LISP won't run

[Gorra]

Hello,

I am building an array of drop-down panel buttons to run various LISP routines, but I am stuck on the first one. I have the button showing up and linked to the command (UR1) that links to the LISP (ULAR1). The LISP runs perfectly typing in the command or the LISP name, but clicking the button does nothing, not even an error code.

 

 

Does the command need some kind of prefix? I've tried * and - in front of the command but no luck. I've moved the command to other places in the tree (like primary command) but still nothing.

Thanks for any help

try placing the command next to the Macro edit field:

In case you don't know the ^c^c is needed sometimes ^c^c^p is used. The ^c implies do a "Cancel", often commands need two cancels to get out of where there at. 

Did you use a mnu file to make the menu ? Then its easy in a pop mnu file to see the correct syntax.

[->LISP2 C-D]      
       [->CARPARKS]
             [No carparks]^C^C(load "how many carparks") carpark
             [Carpark 0]^C^C(load "carpark made simple") npark90
             [Carpark 30]^C^C(load "carpark made simple") npark30
             [Carpark 45]^C^C(load "carpark made simple") npark45
             [Carpark 60]^C^C(load "carpark made simple") npark60
             [<-Carpark 90]^C^C(load "carpark made simple") npark90

@paullimapa @Sea-Haven  Thanks, that's the manner of thing I figured I was missing.

No, I used the cui editor. I'll look into using an mnu.

I use mnu files all the time as they can be edited with notepad. Just use menuunload  & menuload. You can have POP and toolbar menu's using mnu. a Ribbon has to be done with the CUI. I have used lisp to help make a mnu writing repeating code for say insert blocks.

You can have images in a POP  menu when making choices.
