Topic: Sorting through layers with DCL

[entget]

So, I have a dialog with a list box of layer names - but only the first major group.
I would like to select a layer, select the 'next' button, and repopulate the list with the layers under the major group with the next minor group.
In this case, select C-ROAD, hit 'next', list would repopulate with all the C-ROAD-**** layers.

Can this be done without closing current dialog and reopening another one?

Yes, you can repopulate the list with different items.
Also possible to have two lists and change the content of the second list based on the selection in the first list.
A great example can be found on Lee's website: http://www.lee-mac.com/listtiledependency.html

Cool, thanks - good to know I'm not after something I can't get. ...and the LISP side already has some of Lee's code in there - lol

This topic demonstrates a very similar interface - perhaps you can glean something from the code.

Yes! Thank you Lee - like you said, very similar. Appreciate you digging back to 2013 for me!
I'd seen a couple of examples on your website and a few other's examples here - but hadn't seen this one yet.

Just an idea in the dcl have a edit box below the list box type C and all C layers appear, keep typing C - R O A D so list shrinks with more characters added.
