Hi Russ,

If you want to use your function as a LabTalk command it cannot be static. Define it like this...

int ConvertWrkshtToMatrix(BOOL bSelectAll)
{
// code
}

Thanks for your reply. I've created a short script (of what I hope will do the job in Origin C. However, I'm unable to call it. After successfully compiling and linking the code, I get a "Command Error!" response after I call it. I've attached the code. Any ideas??

Thanks much,

Russ

Hi Russ,

The "Direct Conversion to Matrix" dialog is a DialogBuilder dialog (OriginPro feature) programmed in Origin C. You can look at the code in OMatDlgDMC.c.

If you want to use LabTalk, you can look at the commented out code in the [Wks2Mat] section of the WKS.ogs file. You'd want to use the mat.w2m() method. However, in LabTalk, you don't have control over the "X varies across columns" and "Y varies across columns" options.
