Topic: CmdVisLines

(setenv "CmdVisLines" "5") ->  nothing happens

(setenv "CmdVisLines" "20") ->  nothing happens

even through vla-put-dockedvisiblelines nothing happens

but (getenv "CmdVisLines") works
and vla-get-dockedvisiblelines works too

How do i re-size the command window?
I need to show some info and I want to make sure that is correctly displayed (5 lines), but just for active command, when the command finishes the command window must restore from previous size.

You must be in 2006! Actually I cannot recall, but I think that we can't do it in 2005 too!! It is more of a stretchable floating form nowadays.

But not sure about 2006?

Jürg Menzi may shed some light on the subject as he is the author.

In Jurge's VxXetDispCmdLines routine:
; Arguments [Type]:
;   Mde = Mode, Values:
;         - Nil (VxGetDispCmdLines) [SYM]
;         - Number of command lines (VxSetDispCmdLines) [INT
VxGetDispCmdLines TYPO?
VxSetDispCmdLines TYPO?

I tried (VxXetDispCmdLines 5) in 2006 and nothing happened.

Is your commandline locked?

I would think it would not change if it was locked.

Check out the last line.  I haven't found what controls it yet, though.

No. It's floating

Yes I'm in R2006 and really nothing happens, anyway

I think i could modify the actual WorkSpace...

I wrote this function with 2k0...
Works with 2k0(i) and 2k2. This property seems not supported anymore since 2k4. :pissed:
Have to add a note to the sample.
No workaround known...
