where in the hell is the PopUp command on the new TI-Nspire CX hand held?

Heya, welcome here. If you are expecting BASIC on the Nspire to be like what you are used to with the Voyage 200, then you are going to be very disappointed. nSpire BASIC is severely limited. If you want a similar experience that can be programmed on calc, I'd recommend looking into LUA.

Thank you... for your reply, many of you recommended Nless, sorry that is new for me and it sounds like a jailbreak to me, would it harm my handheld?
and regarding to lua I have done a web research and find it a little bit hard to me yet. I was used to TI-Basic, but anyway I will give a try!


--- Quote from: Rhombicuboctahedron ---It available with ndless and c++, and you can always program in lua, but as for basic, I think the best you can do is request or requestStr, and have the user type in either the whole choice, or just 1,2,3.. or a,b,c…
And welcome to omnimag

"Request" command just let me input one item a the time, and if I need to input 5 items, then I would have to use "Request" 5 times in 5 different input windows. that is kind of annoying though.

Sadly Texas Instruments removed most of the Input commands from the Nspire probably to eliminate games from calculators or due to a rushed release 4 years ago. Finally they decided to add Lua on newer OSes which is what people mostly use nowadays.

Do you mean Lua is integrated in the new handheld? can I program Lua directly on my device?

You are right! it is a rough start to me. after all  I have only developed a couple of simple programs on the V200. I thought I could do something similar on the Nspire, but Ohhh!!! big dissapointing on that one.

Thanx...

hey, welcome here, dante!
please don't post multiple times in succession in a topic. it spams the new post list and makes things difficult to read. instead, use the quote button next to a person's post to quote it in your own, and please format things like i've done above.

we hope you enjoy your stay, and you should definitely try out a new language!

That will not harm anything. Just follow the instructions (don't delete the ndless folder for example, I don't know whynsome try to do that although it is said in the readme not to do that) and nothing bad will happen. And even if you accidentally miss something, the worst you can get is a reboot loop, and it is fixable :)

You can download oclua to do so, but afaik, it has not been updated for a long time.

And for your other questions, sorry but I don't know more than you :(

Adriweb:
If you want more information about Lua programming, you can head over here :
http://www.inspired-lua.org you will find tutorials etc. For the Nspire-Lua API, here : http://wiki.inspired-lua.org

What you have to know, though, is that right now (it will change un the future), there is no "standard" GUI library etc. provided by TI, so you have to do everything on your own.
Hopefully some community memebres have done so already :)

You can check an example of what's probably the most complex Lua app out there (compatible from 3.0 to 3.2+), an Electrical Engineering application : FormulaPro (like EEPro on the TI-89)

(I put this screenshot to show the use of a GUI toolkit, which provides text input, buttons, dialog etc.)
