Menu - fcn call with arguments

[msteffke]

Goodmorning,
Can you pass argumments to your CmdAct function. The function EnterJobInfo has 2 arguments. How do I pass them if I am calling the function from a menu button?

status = ProCmdActionAdd ("EnterJobInfo", (uiCmdCmdActFn)EnterJobInfo,
uiCmdPrioDefault, TestAccessDefault, PRO_B_TRUE, PRO_B_TRUE,
&cmd_id3);


Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark -

If it were my choice, I'd allow something useful to be done with those
function arguments
as you suggest. Unfortunately, the documentation says that those
arguments are ignored.
This is excerpted from .../proe/protoolkit/protkdoc/api/2010.html :

Synopsis

#include <prouicmd.h>

int (*uiCmdCmdActFn) (
uiCmdCmdId command, /* (In) The
identifier of the action or option */
uiCmdValue *p_value, /* (In) For
options passed to ValueGet functions. Ignored for actions. */
void *p_push_command_data /* (In) Not used */
)

Returns - The return value is ignored.

If you have a limited number of parameter combinations, you might defining
multiple
uiCmdCmdId's for use with the same action function. You could then write
logic inside
your uiCmdCmdActFn to determine which ID caused the invocation.

If your parameter combinations are vast or infinite, you may have to
resort to some
global or module-level technique to set and retrieve your parameter
variables.
