rscCombo selections

[iceman77 18]

Hi. Making a dialog here. How is it possible to realize when any given element of the listbox/combo are selected? I would like to run a script when a weapon is chosen/selected from the combo lb. IE; If I select the M4A1 from the drop down menu, then run a script. Any help is appreciated.

Dialogz = 

{
CreateDialog "NewDialog";

//WEAPON NAMES
{lbAdd[2100,_x]} forEach ["M4A1","G36C Eotech SD","MP5A5"]; //--- Primary Weapon Names

}

I think its sliderPosition

No slider pos is for sliders.

You can use this to tell what the user has clicked on:

You can also use ui eventhandlers to call functions that grab the selection,

Like if a player doubleclicks on a listbox item etc...

I've been trying to get lbSetSelection & lbselection to work somehow. I'll look into lbCurSel. Thanks.

note: I can get a hint to display, but for any selection I make. I've tried various things with the eventhandler. :mad:

FireEvents = 

{

  hint "hello";

};

Dialogz =  

{ 

       CreateDialog "NewDialog";  
       //WEAPON NAMES 
       {lbAdd[2100,_x]} forEach ["M4A1","G36C Eotech SD","MP5A5"]; //--- Primary Weapon Names 

       _display = uiNamespace getVariable "myDisplay";
       _control = _display displayCtrl 2100;
      (_control) ctrlSetEventHandler ["LBSelChanged","['ListChange', _this] call FireEvents"];

}

oh, i had no idea about these ui event handlers.

[riouken 15]

When I get home, I will post a better explanation with examples

[iceman77 18]

Okay I believe it's solved. Thanks to Riouken & lbCurSel.

private ["_control","_index"];

FireEvents = 

   {

      _index = lbCurSel 2100;

      Switch (_index) Do 

           {

             Case 0:{hint "m4a1"};
             Case 1:{hint "g36"};
             Case 2:{hint "mp5a5"};

           };





   };


Dialogz = 

{


     CreateDialog "NewDialog";

     //WEAPON NAMES
     {lbAdd[2100,_x]} forEach ["M4A1","G36C Eotech SD","MP5A5"]; //--- Primary Weapon Names
     _display = uiNamespace getVariable "myDisplay";
     _control = _display displayCtrl 2100;
     (_control) ctrlSetEventHandler ["LBSelChanged","[_this select 0] call FireEvents"];



};

But please do still post all of the examples Riouken! :cool:

LbSelection and lbSetSelection are for use with multi selection listboxes, like alowing the user to select multipul rows at once. Also useful with multi column listboxes

[lifted86 10]

i was doing something like that and found it can get messy if you want to re arrange the order or something, so i started to do...

_sel = lbCurSel _listbox;
_selText = lbText [1500, _sel]; //will be a string 

Switch (_selText) Do ***
{
   Case "M4A1":{hint "m4a1"};
   Case "G36C Eotech SD":{hint "g36"};
   Case "MP5A5":{hint "mp5a5"};
};

Hey,

You can tweak the Rsc definition part to attach the UI event there, the onLBSelChanged UIEH can help on that.

Here's a sample.

	class CA_GroupsList : RscCombo {
		idc = 509001;
		x = 0.01;
		y = 0.12;
		w = 0.386;

		//onLBSelChanged = "WFBE_MenuAction = 1";
		onLBSelChanged = "_this Call FNC_onSelectChange";
	};

Then you have 2 ways of doing things, either using a function like defined above and shown below.

FNC_onSelectChange = {
Private ["_listbox", "_index"];
_listbox = _this select 0;
_index = _this select 1;

hint format ["Listbox [%1] new selection is [%2]", _listbox, _index];
};

Or in your script (loop) with a global variable as commented in the Rsc example.

if (WFBE_MenuAction == 1) then {
WFBE_MenuAction = -1;
_curSel = lbCurSel _myComboBoxIDC;

hint format ["my listbox selection is now [%1]", _curSel];
};

Thanks lifted. Though I'm not sure I understand. If you could elaborate further I'd be grateful. I'll look into lbText.
