One time dialog and repeated hotkeys

stev3n · Post by **stev3n** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:24 pm

My goal is to create a dialog box, which asks for two inputs

Input one has a combo box which you can only select one option.
This option, I want it to do the macro normally (no matter what option you pick), but depending on the option, midway through it, does a certain action.

The action would be repeated by a hotkey everytime, so I'm not sure if I need to create one script for the dialog, and one for the actual process?

The other input, would have check boxes, which again with a different hotkey, would do certain functions.

So this is kind of the outline

Input 1
1,2,3,4,5 (only one)

Input 2
1,2,3 (can be any combo)

Hotkey 1:
..Does first part of macro...
..Clicks certain places based on Input 1...
..Finishes Macro..

Hotkey 2:
..Does Macro..
..Clicks certain places if input 2 has checked items...
..Finished macro...

So my first question is, how am I going to set this up?

Do I have three scripts, or what do I do?

I guess you could either have two macros, assigned to two different hotkeys, or one macro using OnEvent>KEY_DOWN to handle both hotkeys.

If you want to present several options and allow the user to select multiple choices, use a Radio Button Group.

Use a combo box if only one option should be selected.

Don't radios only allow one choice?

I currently have a radio selection for the options that I want to use for once choice, and I have 3 check boxes for the other.

Wouldn't that be best?

Also, how do I apply each selection? I don't understand how I use the radios or checkboxes as variables later on in my script.

So how do I say if option two in in list 1 is selected, do this?

Sorry, yes, I meant checkboxes. Radio boxes, or a combo list for one choice, check boxes for multiple choices.

In regards to how to use them, perhaps this simple example will help:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Dialog1
   Width=445
   Height=171
   Top=502
   Left=384
   RadioGroup=msRadioGroup1,msRadioGroup1,16,16,185,105,One%CRLF%Two%CRLF%Three,-1
   CheckBox=msCheckBox1,msCheckBox1,248,32,97,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox2,msCheckBox2,248,56,97,False
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1,r

MessageModal>Radio Button Selected: %Dialog1.msRadioGroup1%

MessageModal>CeckBox1 Checked: %Dialog1.msCheckBox1%
MessageModal>CeckBox2 Checked: %Dialog1.msCheckBox2%

Just one more question.. maybe

What would the "if" be then?

So how do I decipher between which radio was pressed, and decide to do something if it was? And the same if a checkbox was checked?

My example above displays the values you have to check for. So, something like:

Code: Select all

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=1
   MessageModal>First option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=2
   MessageModal>Second option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=3
   MessageModal>Third option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox1=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Not Selected
Endif

That works fine for the check boxes, but the radio buttons still aren't responding? I don't get any messagemodal for them with that

Perhaps you'd better show us your code so that we can see what might be wrong.

Code:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Dialog1
   Width=313
   Height=247
   Top=557
   Left=322
   RadioGroup=msRadioGroup1,msRadioGroup1,8,8,121,145,No Mage%CRLF%Fire Blast%CRLF%Fire Wave%CRLF%Guthix%CRLF%Saradomin%CRLF%Zamorak,-1
   CheckBox=msCheckBox1,Steel Skin,136,48,97,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox2,Ultimate Strength,136,72,105,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox3,Incredible Reflexes,136,96,113,False
   Button=OK,64,160,75,25,1
   Button=Cancel,176,160,75,25,2
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1,r

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=1
   MessageModal>First option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=2
   MessageModal>Second option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1=3
   MessageModal>Third option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox1=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Not Selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox2=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox2 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox2 Not Selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox3=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox3 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox3 Not Selected
Endif

This is all there is right now as I'm trying to build to my previous goal before, but I just can't get the results out of the dialog

Post by **Marcus Tettmar** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:30 pm

Ah - sorry, it was my mistake. Radio boxes return:

DialogName.RadioGroupName: Text of item selected
DialogName.RadioGroupName.ItemIndex: Numeric index of item selected (base 0).

Sorry, my bad. My last example missed out ItemIndex.

So your script should be:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Dialog1
   Width=313
   Height=247
   Top=557
   Left=322
   RadioGroup=msRadioGroup1,msRadioGroup1,8,8,121,145,No Mage%CRLF%Fire Blast%CRLF%Fire Wave%CRLF%Guthix%CRLF%Saradomin%CRLF%Zamorak,-1
   CheckBox=msCheckBox1,Steel Skin,136,48,97,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox2,Ultimate Strength,136,72,105,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox3,Incredible Reflexes,136,96,113,False
   Button=OK,64,160,75,25,1
   Button=Cancel,176,160,75,25,2
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1,r

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1.itemindex=0
   MessageModal>First option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1.itemindex=1
   MessageModal>Second option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msRadioGroup1.itemindex=2
   MessageModal>Third option selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox1=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox1 Not Selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox2=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox2 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox2 Not Selected
Endif

If>Dialog1.msCheckBox3=True
   MessageModal>CheckBox3 Selected
Else
   MessageModal>CheckBox3 Not Selected
Endif

If you step through your script with the debugger you will see the variables the dialog creates.

Re why didn't your code post properly: Seems for CODE/TEXTAREA to work there needs to be text prior to the firs textarea tag. Will try to get that fixed. In the mean time, I've edited your post to fix it up.

Hi Marcus,

You might want to upgrade your phpBB installation to phpBB3 Gold released today.
There are a ton of fixes, see CHANGELOG.

It might even have a fix for the following annoyance mentioned at the end of this post...

Alright, I have one more final problem to this script.

I want to be able to use the hotkeys in this script until I shut the script off. I'm not understanding why it's just not in a continuous loop.

Both of these, when I press them, keep repeating, and don't stop. I only want them to do their subroutine once each time I press the button, until I shut the script off.

I saw the blog http://www.mjtnet.com/blog/2007/11/20/exes-and-hotkeys/ , and I tried this and it still didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
