I'd like to be able to specify a non-default view (e.g., a particular
gadget view) for a command argument, so that in any of the
circumstances where the command input is formatted as a dialog, the
argument input is formatted according to the view I've specified.
Shouldn't CLIM argument descriptions take a :VIEW keyword?
Good idea. I will investigate doing this.
I just investigated. Isn't it the case that it just works to include
:VIEW in a command:
(define-command (com-use-native-debugger :command-table lisp-listener :name t)
((boolean 'boolean :default (not *use-native-debugger*) :VIEW <SOME-SILLY-VIEW>))
(setq *use-native-debugger* boolean))
It is still the case that the view doesn't get passed into the ACCEPT
within the dialog, but I am looking at that.
Yes, this now works on (my version of) LispWorks CLIM; and it does
apparently get passed properly to the CLIM:ACCEPT, at least if one is
using CLIM:ACCEPT-VALUES-COMMAND-PARSER (i.e., the dialog form of
command entry), because my chosen gadgets correctly appear on cue. I
thought you had promptly made this work for me! (I don't think it
used to work, or I wouldn't have asked for it.)
Or are you saying that there should also be a :DIALOG-VIEW arg?
This would be a nice additional possibility for customization--the
ability to specify a dialog view on a per-command basis. Indeed, I
have often wondered why CLIM:ACCEPTING-VALUES itself does not take a
:VIEW argument.
