Origin 8.6 in Windows 7.
I have a set of data in my worksheets. and I want to create a user interface (buttons, list etc) for the user to do extra analysis.
For example, I want to create a list of data in the user interface. The user can select some of them and click a button to create a plot.
I know Excel can create some buttons in the worksheet and then have some VBA codes to do what I want. What is the best way to create this kind of user interface in Origin?
Thanks. |

Hi newuser_ca,
You can change any label (text, box, etc.) to a button, which runs a script by pressing.
In the screenshot below, "just a label" is just a label. But, you can right-click the label,
choose "Programming Control" flyout, then choosing "Button Up" at "Script, Run After",
you can run the script in the box below after changing this to a button. (You can
open this dialog by ALT+DoubleClick even after becoming a button.)
So, obviously
you need to have a script code in this way.
Many people have found that if you have a routine analysis procedure, making a analysis template:
http://www.originlab.com/index.aspx?go=Products/Origin/DataAnalysis/AnalysisTemplates
satisfies their needs without programming. See:
http://www.originlab.com/www/helponline/Origin/en/UserGuide/Analysis_Templates.html
or
http://www.originlab.com/www/helponline/Origin/en/mergedProjects/Tutorial/Tutorial/Creating_and_Using_Analysis_Templates.html
Hope this helps you to decide which approach you want to try first.

Hi Hideo,
Thank you very much for your information. It is very useful.
I will try and see which is the best.
By the way, is X-Function a good way to build GUI? |
