The lower part of the "Event-dialogue" shows the functionname + example code + information + Copy + Autolisp: see picture.

The problem (maybe only my personal problem  :P) is that the arguments are not displayed with the functionname, and so it happens to me that
- I don't want to use "Copy", because it takes the entire function code
- so I copy the functionsname
- and miss the arguments ....

This is why I want to ask for some changing / improvement?

Hi, Peter, quite interesting: for me I must say that I either copy the whole definition (pressing copy button) or just copy manually the function name including the brackets. So I never had the idea just to copy only the function name :) .

Maybe a simple and efficient solution is the extended usage of the copy button.


  • Make three copy buttons: for name / first line (defun + name + arguments) / entire example (3 lines)
or
  • make an option for "what shall the copy-button do?"

The added complexity of supporting different copy modes seems to me not worth the benefit. I never use the message box code, so maybe the best solution is to get rid of the (dcl-messagebox ) code.
