displaying ssget custom prompt when DYNPROMP=1

[andkal]

Hi
Is it possible in LISP to have a custom prompt for SSGET to be displayed next to the cursor?
I have DYNPROMP set to 1 and DYNMODE to 3. I want to get something simillar to this, and not only "Select object":

This is what is displayed for example by MATCHPROP.
I found a simillar topic with NOMUTT variable but it doesnt work for me. It displays a custom promp only in command line and not next to the cursor.

Hi,

I think the answer is NO and it is a BUG - or we miss the "nomutt for dynprompt" variable.

Start an AutoDESK  support case, Idea post  or go another way

to report this old thing (How old: I guess - Since alltime of this dynprompt-feature)

 Ignores nomutt (Yes I know the dyn.display is not the command line, but it could have been that easy)

Entsel has a prompt but ssget never has since day dot.

A couple of ways is to use a

(prompt "\nPIck lines")

(alert "Pick lines")

A pop up window that auto closes you can control display time.

(defun MsgBox (title options message time / WshShell)
   (setq WshShell (vlax-create-object "WScript.Shell"))
    (vlax-invoke WshShell 'Run
	 (strcat "mshta.exe vbscript:close(CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\").Popup(\""
		  message "\"," (itoa time) ",\"" title "\"," (itoa options)"))"
         )
    )
   (vlax-release-object WshShell)
)

(msgbox "Lines on wall" 0 "Select LINES" 1)
