A simple Entry Mode Switcher... - Cristóbal De Jesús - 03-01-2014 04:55 PM

... with visual feedback. Probably the simplest program so far, it's a key definition.
Code:

// Cycles over entry mode options. 
 KEY K_On() 
 BEGIN 
 LOCAL an:={"Textbook","Algebraic","RPN"}; 
 Entry:=(Entry+1) MOD 3; 

 STARTVIEW(-1,1); // Refresh Home view BEFORE tagging...

 TEXTOUT_P(an(Entry+1),G0,2,207,2,RGB(255,0,0));
 FREEZE; // the mean part!
 END;

Once you have copied the program in the Program Catalog, activate the user keyboard by pressing SHIFT HELP ("1U" will be displayed when activated), then press the customized key, ON in this case. More info: User Guide page 516. Easy as π.

Got it working, thank you!

Here is a popup version.
It will fill in based on the user's preferred language.

Code:

//Popup selection of Entry method
// To run: Shift:Help:On
// String in language of user

Key K_On
BEGIN
  LOCAL epick, title, entry1, entry2, entry3;
  title     := STRINGFROMID(1902); //"Choose entry method"
  entry1 := STRINGFROMID(1903); //"Textbook"
  entry2 := STRINGFROMID(1904); //"Algebraic"
  entry3 := STRINGFROMID(1905); //"RPN"
  CHOOSE(epick,title, entry1, entry2, entry3);
  Entry := epick - 1;
END;
