Set the initial package of a listener-pane?

I would like to start a listener-pane in a package other than CL-USER. I imagine the documentation must tell us how to do that, but I'm not finding it.

I'm building a CAPI client UI for a system that provides a console onto a system implemented in Lisp. There's a package that provides a bunch of user conveniences for the console, and of course it's very easy to say (in-package :my-convenience-package), but for customer friendliness, I want to start that listener in the convenience package. 

How do I do that?

It’s been a while since I tried this. Used to work, back in the day

- nick

(defadvice (capi::interactive-pane-top-loop set-mumble-package :before) (top-level istream)
  ;; Set this to the package you'd like the listener to come up in, while working
  ;; on your library
  (setf *package* (find-package "MY-PACKAHE”)))

Re: Set the initial package of a listener-pane?

I saw the following trick recently:

    (capi:interactive-pane-execute-command listener (format nil "~&~&(in-package :some-package)~%~%"))

It seemed to work fine.

Re: Set the initial package of a listener-pane?

That works for me and is especially convenient. I can do it in the create-callback for the interface containing the listener.

Re: Set the initial package of a listener-pane?

Doesn’t “listener” have to be an editor pane?

What I did in an init file for LispWorks Personal is

(capi:interactive-pane-execute-command

(capi:editor-pane

(capi:find-interface 'lw-tools:listener))

"(in-package ...)”)

where … is the package name. Is there a simpler way?
