adding layer to dialog

how to put all layer name into 1 list_box dialog
and then when i select the layer (single or multiple select)
then enter, the layer selected is on and others layer is off

 

no body know meh!

 

Why not using the standard layer manager?
Right click to select all, turn them off.
Select the layer you want and turn that one on.
Ready.

Are you looking for help in writing this yourself, or are you looking for someone to give you all the code?

If the former, build a list of layers (filtering out frozen and x-ref layers) using (tblnext), then use (start_list), (mapcar) and (end_list) to add the list of layers to your list_box. Then set your list_box's (action_tile) so that it sets a variable equal to the "nth" item in the list box. Then retreive the "nth" item from your original list of layers. This is the layer name selected by the user

Then use any method to set that layer current and freeze or turn off all other layers.
[possibly (command "._LAYER" "_S" mylayer "OFF" "*" "_N" "")]

 

when i call back the dialog box the layer
became double, when i call back 3,4,5 times all
layer name repeat

Set your list to nil before compiling the list

 

In other words, make sure any symbol (variable) which is the result of cons or append
is declared local within the function. Otherwise, each time the function is called,
you are adding to a global symbol.

Of course this is just the obvious case where not declaring a symbol local makes a
mess. All symbols local to the function should be declared as such, unless you have
good reason to do otherwise.
