darthun 3 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm using the example gived by BI on this page : http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DialogControls-Toolbox Where i create a Toolbox and i get a hint in the corner that gives me the control ID and value. The example works fine. However, I can't seem to match the controlID with itself. something like : "Control #200" == (_this select 0) is always false, even though the variable contains the infamous "Control #200" string as shown in the example. _this select 0 contains more than just the number. And i can't seem to find what. how can i compare that parameter ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hypnomatic 10 Posted October 18, 2013 Just to add on, Controls are their own datatype, also known as CONTROL. The "Control #___" string is what's generated when you try to represent a control as a string. As Larrow pointed out, ctrlIDC returns the control's id number as a scalar, which you can easily compare with. Fun other fact: Even though it's bad form, "Control #200" == str (_this select 0) Should return true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darthun 3 Posted October 19, 2013 Thank you for the polite and quick answers. I consider this thread answered and closed. :) I will have other questions though, and am actively looking to learn more sqf and make friends in the scripting community. But that is another topic for another thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
