Creating Custom Input Menus - Journaling NX 7.5 1

[cquinker]

So I've been trying to create a custom menu that during the execution of one of my scripts, will pop-up and require the user to push one of a few buttons or select one of a few options. I don't really care what it looks like or need anything special. I just would like to know how to get started on creating an input menu that pops up mid-script and has pushable buttons. Thanks guys.

To get a custom menu in a journal file you could use visual studio/vb to create the UI and generate the UI code then copy that into your main journal file and add in the code to handle the commands that the buttons will execute. If you want an example of a custom menu i'd look at the "NX 7.5\UGOPEN\SampleNXOpenApplications\.NET\FilloutTitleBlock" example file "fill_in_title_block_templ.vb". It only has an OK button but it will show you the general idea. I haven't tried creating custom command buttons in a menu but I would think it should work.
