get stuck with combined dialog box

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to create a dialog box to draw a circle which have 2 choice. First one is 2 point (2p) to draw a circle and the other is 1 point and radius. I create a radio list for that. What I want is when I click on 1 choice and another dialog box open and you can enter data on that dialog box and then when you click Ok. Autocad execute the command of drawing a circle. But my lsp and dcl codes don't work. Can sb explain to me? Here is my lsp and dcl code:

LSP code: 

(defun C:selena(/ dcl_id userclick)

(if (not (setq dcl_id (load_dialog "selena.dcl")))

(progn

(princ"\n dcl file can not be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(if (not (new_dialog "selena" dcl_id))

(progn

(princ"\n the definition can not be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(action_tile "2point" "(setq choice1 (atoi(get_tile \"2point\")))")

(action_tile "center_radius" "(setq choice2 (atoi(get_tile \"center_radius\")))")

(action_tile "accept" "(done_dialog 1)")

(action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog 0)")

(set userclick (start_dialog))

(unload_dialog dcl_id)

(if userclick

(progn

(if (= choice1 1)

(defun gomez (/ dcl_id1 userclick)

(if (not (setq dcl_id1 (load_dialog "gomez.dcl")))

(progn

(princ"\n dcl file cann't be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(if (not (new_dialog "gomez" dcl_id1))

(progn

(princ"\n the definition can not be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(action_tile "X1" "(setq X1 (atof(get_tile \"X1\")))")

(action_tile "Y1" "(setq Y1 (atof(get_tile \"Y1\")))")

(action_tile "X2" "(setq X2 (atof(get_tile \"X2\")))")

(action_tile "Y2" "(setq Y2 (atof(get_tile \"Y2\")))")

(action_tile "accept" "(done_dialog 1)")

(action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog 0)")

(setq userclick (start_dialog))

(unload_dialog dcl_id1)

(if userclick

(progn

(command "circle" "2p" (list X1 Y1) (list X2 Y2))

)

(progn

(alert"\n exit the program")
)

)
)

)
)
)

)

)

(if (= choice2 1)

(progn

(defun superman(/ dcl_id2 userclick)

(if (not (setq dcl_id2 (load_dialog "superman.dcl")))

(progn

(princ"\n dcl file can not be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(if (not (new_dialog "superman" dcl_id2))

(progn

(princ"\n the definition can not be loaded")

(exit)

)

(progn

(action_tile "X" "(setq X (atof(get_tile \"X\")))")

(action_tile "Y" "(setq Y (atof(get_tile \"Y\")))")

(action_tile "radius" "(setq radius (atof(get_tile \"radius\")))")

(action_tile "accept" "(done_dialog 1)")

(action_tile "cancel" "(done_dialog 0)")

(setq userclick (start_dialog))

(unload_dialog dcl_id2)

(if userclick

(progn

(command "circle" (list X Y) radius )
)

(progn

(alert"\n exit the program")
)

One method:
You will need to create a WHILE/COND loop
to be able to switch to the second dialog
(and be able to return back to the first dialog).

Another method:
Use (done_dialog 2) to move to the second dialog.
Consecutive IF statements will get you there.

Where:
(setq sd (start_dialog))

<-- the first dialog is closed at this point -->

And
(if (= sd 0) --> Cancel

(if (= sd 2) --> Open second dialog for input
while in here determine if user input is valid.
If not, done_dialog 0, otherwise done_dialog 1.

(if (= sd 1) --> enter main code block and execute.

Oh, and in your DCL code, is_default=true; appears
more than one time. The last one wins.

Can you edit my lisp code. I don't have enough experience so can you show me?

Inspect the code step by step to learn how to handle the dialog box.

Attach lsp and dcl files.

I almost understand your coding but just 1 more thing. Can you explain what is " $action" and "$key" where do you get that from? Esp "$" , is that a symbol for sth?

[joselggalan]

The action assigned by action_tile supersedes the dialog box's default action (assigned by new_dialog) or the tile's action attribute, if these are specified. The expression can refer to the tile's current value as $value, its name as $key, its application-specific data (as set by client_data_tile) as $data, its callback reason as $reason, and its image coordinates (if the tile is an image button) as $x and $y.

link:

action_tile (AutoLISP/DCL)

 I usually use "$" for the variables that remains open in the document to be reused.
$option, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $xr, $yr and $radius are program variables.
Maybe I used another symbol for these and their better understanding.

regards.
