Hello everyone,
I have a question that I hope someone can help with.
Suppose I create a notebook that I am going to write information to....
questions = NotebookCreate[]
I can then send "whatever" to this notebook....
NotebookWrite[questions,
Cell[TextData[{"This is a test, ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[SqrtBox[SuperscriptBox["x", "2"]], TraditionalForm]]]}],
"Text"]]
I am working on a set of math lessons where the user will click on a button
and a math question will be generated and sent to a particular notebook that
will be created
The question is..... once the notebook "questions" has been created.....
how can I either prevent this notebook from being closed by a "user" so I
know that it will be there to write to, or, if the notebook gets closed,
be able to check for that and reopen it...?
I can do something like..... (which works....)
If[NotebookInformation[questions] == $Failed, questions = NotebookCreate[]];
Where NotebookInformation returns $Failed if there is no "questions"
Notebook open
I wonder if anyone else had some ideas about this....?
Sincerely,
Tom De Vries
