Dear all,
When we talk about GiD customization, we normally define two levels:
Level 1: files .mat,.cnd,.bas and so on
Level 2: TCL customization
The normal entry point for the customization is Level 1. It is and MUST
be easy. There is no reason to integrate into this level more complex
features
because they will make the initial learning longer and more painful.
Once the level 1 is acomplished, people who wish an interface that
adjust
better to their needs, should continue with TCL. It permmits to do virtually
anything in the customization and window creation. Of course, it takes
longer
to learn it. Specifically, check the special field TKWIDGET in the .cnd and
.mat
It permmits to mix traditional and TCL customization.
About comparing TCL and VisualBasic, the preference on a programing
language
or other is strongly biased towards personal preferences. Do not ever try to
convince a language X lover that language Y is better, because a flame war
is
going to start.
The facts are that TCL permmits to make any type of window and
programming
procedure and that it works in either Windows and UNIX.
For further information on TCL check:

Asunto: [GiDlist] Combobox & Radiobutton
No option on Radiobox unless you have to create by
Tcl/Tk at the moment, I guest. GiD should put more
option about Tools. Now there are still lot of
limitations.
Actually GiD can combine with Visual Basic already but
I think GiD should work out more with it,instead of
working with Tcl/Tk when creating WINDOWS AND TOOLS.
VB is lot easier to create Tools and windows but still
not enough Information combining with GiD in the
online documents.
Good luck.

Hello,
I would like to know whether it is possible to
create "radiobuttons" (and not a list of
checkbuttons with dependencies) instead of a
"combobox" directly while creating a .prb file, to
give an example, or if it is necessary to modify
.tcl files in the "scripts" directory of GiD.
Thanks,
Louis Christophe
