I am trying to make a nice GUI so that a dialog box will pop up upon opening origin asking the user if they want to start a running a program, and if they do have the box pop up again when the program is done running asking if they want to repeat the process.
I'm also trying to figure out how to use the name of a sheet "Sheet1" for example, and name a graph after it. |

I figured out how to use a GUI to start running my program successfully. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to run my program (plotA) upon startup of origin though. The script walk-through is really vague about what I am supposed to include.

| for a slightly more direct question: how can I take origin c code and embed it in LabTalk script. If I can do that I can just have everything run when the Custom Routine button is clicked. |

Hi,
In LabTalk, you can call the Origin C function like a command, here your program (Origin C function) is plotA, right? You can run it as a LabTalk command. In the On Starting Origin, the example is shown how to run LabTalk script when Origin starts. So, you can consider your plotA as LabTalk command to do so.
And there is no the so-called "embed Origin C code in LabTalk script". However, if you want to use an Origin C function, you can compile it before you use it by using the run.loadOC() method. For more details, please refer to this page.

Penn,
You are truly a life saver. I wasn't aware that you could simply run a C based program in Labtalk script. Thank you for all of your help! |
