how Get data from listbox

[mikkol 11]

Hey!

Can somebody help me with getting data from listbox to another listbox?

I cheked this older thread, but it isnt exactly what i'm looking for. Or i dont know how to use those codes :D

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?184556-How-to-return-data-of-selected-listbox-lbCurSel-returns-number

What i'm trying to do is get group from first listbox and get group leader name to second listbox.

In first listbox i have all groups

//Grouplist box
disableSerialization;
waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay 1734)};

lbClear 1500;

_friendlyside = side player;
{
  if ((side _x) == _friendlyside) then
  {
  _groupname= groupid _x;

_GrouplistDialog = (findDisplay 1734) displayCtrl 1500;
_addThisToListBox = _groupname;
_GrouplistDialog lbAdd _addThisToListBox;
  };
} forEach allgroups;

So First listbox works but in second listbox i got error "Type string, expected object".

Second listbox

//Second listbox
disableSerialization;
lbClear 1600;
_index = lbCurSel 1500;
_text = lbText [1500, _index];
lbSetData [1500, _index, _text];
_data = lbData [1500, _index];
//How do i get actual group, not STRING 
_Group = Group _data;
_Leader = (Leader _Group);
player sideChat format ["%1",_Leader]; 
_GrouplistDialog = (findDisplay 1734) displayCtrl 1600;
_addThisToListBox = _Group;
_GrouplistDialog lbAdd _addThisToListBox;

obviously Second listbox dont work.

So i need to get the actual "group" not "String" of group :)

BIS_fnc_objectVar might be useful to you

Where i should call "BIS_fnc_objectVar" ? every variation i tried ended with "Type string, expected object".

You can try netId and groupFromNetId in MP

Thanks DreadedEntity and Killzone_Kid.

I got it working with "KK_fnc_netId" & "KK_fnc_objectFromNetId" and "cases".

_index = lbCurSel 1500;
switch (_index) do {
case 0: {

_getNetId = "0:1" call KK_fnc_objectFromNetId;
_Group = Group _getNetId;
_Leader = (Leader _Group);
_Name = Name _Leader;
player sidechat format ["%1",_Name];
_GrouplistDialog = (findDisplay 1734) displayCtrl 1600;
_addThisToListBox = _Name;
_GrouplistDialog lbAdd _addThisToListBox;
   };

case 1: {
_getNetId = "0:2" call KK_fnc_objectFromNetId;
_Group = Group _getNetId;
_Leader = (Leader _Group);
_Name = Name _Leader;
player sidechat format ["%1",_Name];
_GrouplistDialog = (findDisplay 1734) displayCtrl 1600;
_addThisToListBox = _Name;
_GrouplistDialog lbAdd _addThisToListBox;
   };
};

Next step is try to get this working "dynamically" so that I wouldn't have to create "case" to every group.

Are you just trying to create two list boxes that are relevant to each other? e.g like a table that shows a list of group names and next to each one its leader?

Im slightly confused by your use of lbCurSel and what its purpose is in your setup.

If your just trying to create a table of groupname - leader it should be a simple as.....

//IDD and IDC of UI elements
_GrpDisplay_IDD = 1734;
_GrpNameLB_IDC = 1500;
_GrpLeaderLB_IDC = 1600;

disableSerialization;
waitUntil {!isNull (findDisplay _GrpDisplay_IDD)};

//Clear the listboxes
lbClear _GrpNameLB_IDC;
lbClear _GrpLeaderLB_IDC;

{
if ( (side _x) isEqualTo side player ) then {
	//Add group ID to first listbox
	lbAdd [ _GrpNameLB_IDC,  ( groupID _x ) ];
	//Add leader ID to second listbox
	_index = lbAdd [ _GrpLeaderLB_IDC, str ( leader _x ) ];
	//Store leaders var is second listbox data
	lbSetData [ _GrpLeaderLB_IDC, _index, ( leader _x ) call BIS_fnc_objectVar ];
  };
} forEach allgroups;

If this is what your trying to do it may be worth looking into RscListNBox. Which is just a listbox with multiple columns and would save you headaches with syncing scrolling and selections between multiple listboxes.

To get the group back out of the above you would do something like..

fnc_getLBGroup = {

//IDCs
_GrpNameLB_IDC = 1500;
_GrpLeaderLB_IDC = 1600;

//Get currently selected group
_index = lbCurSel _GrpNameLB_IDC;
//Get relative leader var from leader listbox data
_leaderVar = lbData [ _GrpLeaderLB_IDC, _index ];
//Get leaders group
_group = group ( missionNamespace getVariable _leaderVar );

//Return the group
_group
};

Yeah! Two boxes relevant to each other. This is my first gui stuff with arma , so maybe my code is confusing :). With "lbCurSel" i mean "selected group in grouplist box".

Thanks Larrow for help! gonna test your code.

Added pics to explain what im trying to do.

Thanks DreadedEntity and Killzone_Kid.

I got it working with "KK_fnc_netId" & "KK_fnc_objectFromNetId" and "cases".

If you want to use my functions you need to use KK_fnc_groupFromNetId for groups: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/groupFromNetId

[mikkol 11]

ok! Atleast for testing purpose im using your function. I changed to kk_fnc_groupfromnetid.
