How do Misc Reals work in a CHOOK?

[Robert Brower]

Hello again. Another CHOOK related question regarding misc reals. I don't understand how they are used.

 

I'd like to set the Misc Real values that are used in a post. Is editing a PST file the only means to do this or can one modify the misc reals in an operation and expect to see these used in the post?

 

I guess what I want to do is override the ones in the PST file with ones that my chook comes up with.

 

Thanks again,

 

Robert

Well I would only think it would be possible if you were reading the NCI from the chook becuase in a post the are spefic for types of control in the post. I not being a chook person but a post person would lean more towards only being good in a post but could be wrong and if so you will get the right answer just may have to wait till Monday for the big dogs to respond.

I am also wondering did you load the SDK for chook and if you did what does it say about this?

Look in m_ncvars.h for the misc_reals array of ten elements.

I guess what I am asking is, I see them listed in the PST file. If I set these values through the sdk, are the values I set reflected in the post?

A chook wouldn't alter the values in the pst, but would affect the posting of code.

I would think that C-Hooks and Posts access the misc values from the same location.

Ok. Is there a way by looking at the NC, to see if the misc reals I am setting via the SDK are considered in the NC? I'm using MPFAN.PST.

 

Does the operation need to be rewritten to the database after the misc reals are set, before using postOps() for them to take effect?

 

Thanks.

you can see the Misc Reals and Integers in the NCI file. Post and set to 'Create NCI' and then look for nci gcodes 1011(reals) and 1012(integers).
