Hi,
I have created a button in the browser to allow a user to select a sample for viewing. It pulls data from several folders and plots them with some calculations. All well and good.
One improvement I would like is to prevent the command from being printed into the history window. The equivalent of /Q (quiet) in many functions.
Is this possible in IP9?
Andy
Consider using a contextual menu item instead.
DisplayHelpTopic "DataBrowserObjectsPopup Menu"That's available since IP9 and gets around some peculiar legacy behavior that using buttons gives you.
I think you may be able to use ModifyBrowser echoCommands=0 to turn off printing the commands, but whether your button code should do that is questionable, since that doesn't apply only to your button but more generally to the Data Browser.
I used such buttons for a few years before I decided that they are way to limited and also permanently clutter the Data Browser, which gets a problem when you introduce more and more features. Why not use a contextual menu as suggested by aclight or a proper (top) Menu item, which could also be set up with a keyboard shortcut for more convenience?
