Setting DCL tile label from lisp

Can the label of a DCL tile be set from lisp or does it have to be hard
coded in the DCL file?

 

Yeah, I shoulda searched I thought that would be the answer. I'll try
to do a little more digging to see if more info has been posted.

Basically I want to see how easy it would be to make an app in lisp and dcl
for multiple languages. Might need to look more into VBA though. It would
be a good starter for me though.

Thanks,
Kevin

 

No you don't. Just set the key for the dialog in your lisp routine.

 

That's great for buttons and such, but I'd like to be able to change the
label for tag as well. For instance the dialog, boxed_column,
boxed_row, etc tiles. AFAIK, those do not have key attributes and just
have a label.

Can the key attribute be used for those instead of a label?

 

What I have done is set a edit box tile label = "" in the DCL file and using a row, add a text tile with a key and label = "", the text tile can then be set in the lisp with (set_tile "key" "mytext") which appears to be the label of the edit box tile.

Very cool. I'll give that a try. Thanks Bill
