Description

The CmdIndirect Lua function executes a command within the grandMA3 command line. It is executed asynchronously in the Main task. It does not block the Lua execution since it is not executed in the Lua Task.

Arguments

  • String:
    A string with the command to be executed in the command line. Do not add a please or enter to execute the command.
  • Handle (optional):
    A handle to an undo (oops) list. Learn more in the CreateUndo topic.
  • Handle (optional):
    This is a handle for the target for the command. The target can be a specific screen. See the example below.

Return

This function does not return anything.

Example

This example prints "1" and "2" in the Command Line History and let the main task open the Configure Display pop-up on screen 2.

Lua
return function()
--Print something
Printf("1")
--Use the 'CmdIndirect' to open a pop-up
CmdIndirect("Menu DisplayConfig", nil, GetDisplayByIndex(2))
--Print something else
