: button

Create a button with or without a label.     DCL Active Tile

This active tile creates a button, with or without a superimposed label. A button is generally used to exit a dialog box or to display another box ("tunneling dialog boxes"). Every dialog box must have at least one button, which is connected to the LISP function done_dialog; otherwise the program hangs.

: button {

          action = "(done_dialog)";

          label = "OK";

}

NOTE Several predefined tiles provide the most common button clusters, including the ok_only attribute, ok_cancel, and ok_cancel_help tiles.

Valid Attributes

: button {

          action = "(string)";

          alignment = position;

          fixed_height = flag;

          fixed_width = flag;

          height = number;

          is_cancel = flag;

          is_default = flag;

          is_enabled = flag;

          is_tab_stop = flag;

          key = "string";

          label = "string";

          mnemonic = "char";

          width = number;

}

Example

: button {

          action = "(convdxf)";

          label="Convert to DXF";

          mnemonic="C";

          key="BC";

}     

NOTE The label attribute indicates the text on the button-for example:

     label = "Sync Grid to Snap"
