#161398 - 2006-05-01 02:23 AM dynamically creating checkboxes
Gilrim Gilrim Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-07-19 Posts: 20	I'm loading a serverlist from a csv (see this thread), and need to create checkboxes from an array called $serverGroups. I've tried something like this: Code: CreateCheckboxes($serverGroups) Function CreateCheckboxes($boxes) For Each $item In $boxes logLine($item) execute ('$$item = $Form.Controls.CheckBox()') execute ('$$item.CheckState = 0') execute ('$$item.Left = 12') execute ('$$item.Text = "$item"') execute ('$$item.Top = 150') execute ('$$item.OnClick = logLine("blah")') Next EndFunction but that doesn't quite do it :P any suggestions?

Ok, you asked for it you got it ...

Code:


Function CreateCheckboxes($boxes)
 $Top = 10
 For Each $item In $boxes
  $=Execute('$$$item = $$Form.Controls.CheckBox()')
  $=Execute('$$$item.CheckState = 0')
  $=Execute('$$$item.Left = 12')
  $=Execute('$$$item.Text = "$item"')
  $=Execute('$$$item.Top = $Top')
  $=Execute('$$$item.OnClick = "logLine('+"'"+'blah'+"'"+')"')
  $Top = $Top + 30
 Next
EndFunction

I still like the idea of not executing. thus, you could just do something along these lines: Code: Function CreateCheckboxes($boxes) dim $,$items[ubound($boxes)] For $=0 to ubound($boxes[$]) logLine($boxes[$]) $items[$] = $Form.Controls.CheckBox() $items[$].CheckState = 0 $items[$].Left = 12 $items[$].Text = $boxes[$] $items[$].Top = 150 $items[$].OnClick = logLine("blah") Next EndFunction _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	I would normally have done the NoVarsInStrings version but a) It was enough work just figgering the VarsInString version, and b) it would look about twice as cryptic as it already does. I will leave it to you Les to post the NoVarsInString version. Jooel - I agree - The control array version is so much better.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Nope, I won't do the NoVarsInStrings code... The last code 'snippet' where I overdid that execute() thing was KiXtris (counting 553 execute()-statements in 1.02 [yet private]). In the mean time I do code my serious projects with NoVarsInstrings, Explicit and NoMacrosInStrings set to on. I just don't see the whole picture here, but what about utilizing expando objects on that dynamic checkboxes ? Just a thought... code as you like _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Oh well, I do see a part of the whole picture though. You write a tool that generates rdp-connection lists (.rdp) reading from csv - files, right? So, you want to be able to exclude marked Servers, or do your action only on marked items? What about reading that csv-file (you got that already) and displaying them in a ListView to the user (set MultiSelect to true) then place a button 'generate'(enable/disable the button based on amount of Selected items) and read through the SelectedItems Collection, generating the file based on the content of selected rows ?

Gilrim Gilrim Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-07-19 Posts: 20	Your right as to what I'm attempting to do. Thing is though, the output from this script is to be used as a QuickLaunch menu, aligned to the very edge of the menu. This gives you a menu with pretty much the same functionality as the start menu. That is: each group of servers will make one directory, containing it's respective server-rdp files. Should look something like this: thus it would make more sense to allow each admin to select groups of servers to be generated, than selecting each server specifically (the list would be long). I'm gonna have a shot at the generating of checkboxes in a little while, and report back on how that works out. (Btw: when it's done I could post the full script somewhere if it's of any use?)

The Screenshot you placed here is of course not your current script but a third party app, yes ? Well, on the other side you should be able to code a rdp launcher app with kf/kixtart. Let's see where this project leads to ... _________________________
