Programmatically opening a tool window

Hello,

How would I go about opening the ‘Output Window’ programatically from my ~/.lispworks file?

Hi,

are you looking for something like this:

LispWorks IDE User Guide > LispWorks menus and the toolbar > Specifying the initial tools
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw70/IDE-M/html/ide-m-57..htm#pgfId-863991

Use the respective interface classes, like lw-tools:output-browser

Regards,

Rainer Joswig

Re: Programmatically opening a tool window

Yes, I was.  And for the record, the entry to open the output window on startup is:

(defun init ()
      (capi:contain (make-instance ‘lw-tools:output-browser)))

but it cannot be called directly from ~/.lispwork as multi-processing hasn’t been enabled yet, so I added it to my (init) function I call after startup from the listener.
