Dialog ListBox and Mouse Scroll Wheel

[BEAKSBY 11]

HI All,

Does anyone know or have ever tried incorporating into a dialog script a way to select items from a ListBox using the mouse wheel instead of the mouse cursor?

This would be helpful and faster for the game I'm creating, where the player can access the list and quickly select the weapon or vehicle to purchase from the listbox.

Thanks

If I have understood you correctly then:

Work with User Interface Event Handler:

"onMouseZChanged"

And the Commands (I hope that I have not forgotten anything)

lbCurSel

&

lbSetCurSel

If you have no clue, then i can give you an example.

Edit:

Okay i had time and made a fast example:

Open your .hpp file and add this to the ListBox-Control:

onMouseZChanged = "_this execVM 'zm.sqf'";

it should look like this:

Then create a "zm.sqf" in the root folder of your mission file, and put this in it:

////-by Lachesis580-\\\\

_zwheel = _this select 1;
_curindex = lbCurSel 5923;

if (_zwheel < 0) Then {
lbSetCurSel [5923,(_curindex +1)];
} else {
lbSetCurSel [5923,(_curindex -1)];
};

Don't forget to change the "idc".

That worked!

I just changed the idc to match mine.

...and to select it by pressing the middle mouse button I can use onMouseButtonDown?

Is it better to run this as an sqf or function?

I've tried this in the init:

onMouseButtonDown = "_this execVM 'bm.sqf'";

Then this for the bm.sqf:

_bwheel = _this select 1;
_curindex = lbCurSel 15001;

if (_bwheel == 1) Then {
lbSetCurSel [15001,(_curindex)], ";
};
"[15001] call FUS_fnc_LBDblClick";

and this is in the FUS_fnc_LBDblClick:

FUS_fnc_LBDblClick = {// >> Function Start
   _listBox = _this select 0;
_selection = lbCurSel _listBox;
_text = lbText [_listBox, _selection];

switch (_selection) do {
    case 0: {if (money >= 400) then {[400, "B_Heli_Transport_01_F"] call FUS_fnc_addItem;} else {hint "You don't have enough money.";};};
	case 1: {if (money >= 500) then {[500, "B_MBT_01_TUSK_F"] call FUS_fnc_addItem;} else {hint "You don't have enough money.";};};
	case 2: {if (money >= 1000) then {[1000, "B_MRAP_01_F"] call FUS_fnc_addItem;} else {hint "You don't have enough money.";};};
};
};// << Function End

I do have middle mouse button working but I'm not convinced it's the correct way.

I'm basically adding a normal mouse button event handler to the scroll and then calling the spawn from there.

called with

class Fusion_ListBox: rscListbox
{
idc = 15001;
x = 0.43 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
y = 0.3825 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
w = 0.125 * safezoneW;
h = 0.185 * safezoneH;
        onMouseZChanged = "[_this,15001] call FUS_fnc_zwheel";
};

code added to UIFunctions list

FUS_fnc_zwheel = {
////-by Lachesis580-\\\\
hint str (_this select 0);
_idc =  (_this select 1);
_zwheel = (_this select 0) select 1 ;
_curindex = lbCurSel _idc;
rem=false;
_mouseB  = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", "if (_this select 1 == 2) then {player sidechat str (_this select 1);[15001] call FUS_fnc_LBDblClick;rem=true};"];
if (rem) then { (finddisplay 46) displayremoveeventhandler ['MouseButtonDown',_mouseB];rem=false}; 
if (_zwheel < 0) Then {
lbSetCurSel [15001,(_curindex +1)];
} else {
lbSetCurSel [15001,(_curindex -1)];
};
};// << Function End

Yeah I noticed it seems to stutter and affect the cost of abnormally.

I've downloaded this example and will try to incorportate the images associated with the vehicles in the list box similar to what is done here with the weapon and uniform dialog:
