Multiple Selection Option - Using Forms

mattfurtaw
Okay GURU's. I am looking for the easiest way to have the operator select multiple items at the beginning of the program in order to inspect certain features. We have a part with 18 different features and instead of running the entire program for 1 feature that was adjusted I would like to prompt the question "Which blocks would you like to check....1, 2, 3, 4..etc " and so on.

I don't have much expierence in this area and I know that you can use VB but with my skills I am not getting it. Any help would be apprieciated.

  • I would (and have) used forms to handle this sort of problem. It isn't too difficult to setup and it is intuitive to the user.

    The program would start by opening a form containing a number of check box options (each option is a different part of the PC-DMIS program)

    The PC-DMIS program would have an IF/END_IF surrounding the different sections listed on the form. Only sections are executed if they were checked by the operator.

    Some advantages:

    - You can set default values for the options to check in the PC-DMIS program.

    - All options are presented at once as opposed to asking a series of questions (Do you want to check ..., over and over). You can make this look quite professional with a little more effort (title block, pictures, help, etc.)

    - You don't need to deal with VB. Basically, you need to know how to pass the state of a checked option to and from the PC-DMIS program (done in the form command itself; i.e. OPTION.CHECK=<name_of_pcdmis_variable>Wink
