multi instance controls - dinamism in UI?

[zapat 55]

I have a controlsGroup with images, texts and some buttons.

Now the number of the needed controlGroups is changing. Sometimes I need 2, sometimes I need 10 different instances, but the same class. (just like BIS does the unitInfo in the commandBar: same unitInfo class, but number of instances depends on the unit count)

Is it possible to add some dinamism to control creation (eg. a foor loop) upon dialog creation, or do I have to manually create goup1, grop2, ...group10, and make unused invisible?

you should be able to do that, with the format command:

for [{_x=1},{_x<=10},{_x=_x+1}] do {
  _myDialog = createDialog format["group%1",_x];
};

Lappihuan:I meant controls within a dialog/display. Thanks for the answer anyways.

hmm, I haven't done much with dialogs until now. Iceman could probably help but he is somehow missing from the forums... have a dialog question for him too ^^

Edit:

How about depbo the UI data from the game and see how its done in there?
