Topic: Starting a LISP when switching Tabs ?

[snownut2]

My research here found little regarding this subject.  Is it possible to enter a lisp function when switching paperspace tabs ? If so can anyone give an example.


Thanks

Hi,

You can use a VLR-Miscellaneous-Reactor handling the :VLR-layoutSwitched event.

Here's a simple example:

Code: [Select]

;; Activate the reactor
(defun c:TabReaOn ()
  (setq *TabReactor*
(VLR-Miscellaneous-Reactor
   nil
   '((:VLR-layoutSwitched . TabReaCallback))
)
  )
  (princ)
)

;; Deactivate the reactor
(defun c:TabReaOff ()
  (and
    *TabReactor*
    (vlr-remove *TabReactor*)
    (setq *TabReactor* nil)
  )
  (princ)
)

;; Callback function
(defun TabReaCallback (rea lst)
  (alert (strcat "Switch to " (car lst)))
)
