Control Palettes w/ Lisp?

I see TOOLPALETTES and TOOLPALLETESCLOSE commands, but are there any other commands that control tool palettes? Is there a way to use lisp to open the Tool Palettes with a particular palette current? Better yet, a certain Group displayed *and* a certain palette current. I want to use lisp routines to control palettes if I can.

I was using (command "adcenter" "adcnavigate" "...path...") to open and point to a folder in Design Center, and I'd like to do something similar in Tool Palettes.

TIA

yes. *_toolpalettepath will set the path loading the palette(s). you can
have more than one path in the string, separated by ";"

this means you could load more than one palette. here, each tab is actually
a separate palette, and the users can load each tab as needed ( palettes
located on the server)

(command "*_toolpalettepath" PATHSTRING)

also, i think Chip Harper had some code posted in customer files that went
into much more detail. look for multi palettes.

Thanks.

I thought I'd bump this up and see if anyone has any other ideas. I've looked at the path manipulation approach, but that doesn't do what I want. I'd like to use lisp to simply make a certain palette current without loosing the rest of them. Maybe this is something for the next release...

Thanks again,

see the thread "Tool palette groups - can they be centralized" posted by
KEMP, on 1/27/2005. i think we hit what you were talking about.
