RscListBox Help

[3Dprinter2K17 0]

So I can create a list box and add as many items as I want but when clicked they all do the same damn thing, how can I make it so that each item is assigned to a different variable so I can add multiple features to my server menu, please help asap! I've been trying for days

 

VARIABLE_1 = {
 systemChat "Feature 1 Working";
};

 

createDialog "RscDisplayChat"; 

_3Dprinter = findDisplay 24 ctrlCreate ["RscListBox", 1337]; 

_3Dprinter ctrlCommit 0; 

_3Dprinter  ctrlSetPosition [0.35,0.1,0.25  (1.33),3.8  (0.2)]; 

_3Dprinter ctrlCommit 0; 

_3Dprinter ctrlShow true; 

_Feature1 = "Feature 1";
_Feature2 = "Feature 2";

 

3Dprinter lbAdd Feature1;
3Dprinter lbAdd Feature2;

 

_3Dprinter ctrlSetEventHandler ["LbDBlClick","call VARIABLE_1;"];

{

	lbSetData [1337, _index, _x];

Sorry for me being stupid, I still don't understand how this can be integrated, can you please add it to my code?

[HazJ 1288]

Replace the following with what I sent?

_Feature1 = "Feature 1";
_Feature2 = "Feature 2";
3Dprinter lbAdd Feature1;
3Dprinter lbAdd Feature2;

It will do a forEach loop and add the texts A, B and C in the list in that specific order. I don't understand how you can be stuck? Did you even test it? What don't you understand, etc...? Oh and btw, I recommend you use SafeZone for your dialog position as it may not look correct across all screen sizes.

Ok so it's working and A, B and C is listed but how do I assign them to a variable, adding items was never the problem

oh ok cool, so it's showing the correct items in the box but how can I add them to an eventhandler?

[HazJ 1288]

What are you trying to do? Do you want them to do something when clicked (the item in the list)? I presume so. Here:

(findDisplay 24) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBSelChanged", {hintSilent _this;}];

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/User_Interface_Event_Handlers

Quote

The selection in a listbox is changed. The left mouse button has been released and the new selection is fully made.

Quote

Returns the control and the selected element index.

Basically I want a textbox with multiple options and when you double click on an item it calls the variable I have created for it, I don't know how to make it do that when I click on the listbox item all I can manage to do it make it run the same thing as I cant assign a variable

[HazJ 1288]

Use LBDblClick instead. Return the variable of what? All your VARIABLE_1 function does is output a systemChat message? Also, as shown already. You can store information in the list items.

Sorry! I think I made a mistake with the ctrlAddEventHandler... Got confused with displayAddEventHandler.

((findDisplay 24) displayCtrl 1337) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBDblClick", {hintSilent _this;}];

I have read all these already and don't understand it, please can you fix my code, and yes I know it's for testing. basically I can make the list box, I can add the items, I just cant make it do something different each button I click, they all do the same thing as they're all under _3Dprinter so this code _3Dprinter ctrlSetEventHandler ["LbDBlClick","call TEST_VARIABLE_NEW;"]; literally makes the same variable get called for each button you press, I want to be able to set for example A when pressed does variable 3D_A and B does 3D_B that way I can add features to each unique button but I don't know how to do that..

Sigh. Add me on Steam so I can help you understand a lot easier. Please also take note of my correction for the mistake I made earlier. For anyone else who wants to know, I will post the rest once resolved.

As requested...

RscListBox.sqf:

disableSerialization;

3D_One = "1";
3D_Two = "2";
3D_Three = "3";

createDialog "RscDisplayChat";

_dialog = (findDisplay 24) ctrlCreate ["RscListBox", 1337];
// As I said earlier... I recommend you use SafeZone... These values are completely different to yours. I just made a fresh one quickly instead.
_dialog ctrlSetPosition [(0.3 * safezoneW + safezoneX), (0.24 * safezoneH + safezoneY), (0.4 * safezoneW), (0.52 * safezoneH)];
_dialog ctrlCommit 0;

{
	private _data = _x;
	_index = lbAdd [1337, (_data select 0)];
	lbSetData [1337, _index, (_data select 1)];
} forEach
[
	["One", "3D_One"],
	["Two", "3D_Two"],
	["Three", "3D_Three"]
];

((findDisplay 24) displayCtrl 1337) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBDblClick",
{
	private _variableSelected = lbData [1337, (_this select 1)];
	hintSilent format ["Variable selected: %1", (str _variableSelected)];
}];

If you want the variable to actually do it's thing. You will need to use call + compile (I think?). (:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/call

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/compile

[3Dprinter2K17 0]

So im not having any luck with call compile, I assumed I would be replacing this systemchat format ["Variable selected: %1", (str _variableSelected)]; but regardless I can't call anything still hmmm

[HazJ 1288]

Here you go.

disableSerialization;

x3D_One = true;
x3D_Two = false;
x3D_Three = objNull;

createDialog "RscDisplayChat";

_dialog = (findDisplay 24) ctrlCreate ["RscListBox", 1337];
// As I said earlier... I recommend you use SafeZone... These values are completely different to yours. I just made a fresh one quickly instead.
_dialog ctrlSetPosition [(0.3 * safezoneW + safezoneX), (0.24 * safezoneH + safezoneY), (0.4 * safezoneW), (0.52 * safezoneH)];
_dialog ctrlCommit 0;

{
	private _data = _x;
	_index = lbAdd [1337, (_data select 0)];
	lbSetData [1337, _index, (_data select 1)];
} forEach
[
	["One", "x3D_One"],
	["Two", "x3D_Two"],
	["Three", "x3D_Three"]
];

((findDisplay 24) displayCtrl 1337) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBDblClick",
{
	private _variableSelected = lbData [1337, (_this select 1)];
	private _variable = compile _variableSelected;
	hintSilent format ["Variable selected: %1\nVariable returns: %2", (str _variableSelected), (call _variable)];
}];

Don't start variables with a number! My bad (kind of). That is what you told me your variables were at the time, was too focussed on writing the code.

[3Dprinter2K17 0]

I'll give that a try thankyou

[HazJ 1288]

Already tested! Works fine! I have just updated the example mission too. Same link!

I just tested it replacing x3D_One = true with x3D_One = { systemChat "finally working"; };

just to see if it now works and all it's doing is displaying it in a hint format as you made it do. hmmmmm

I see the compile you added but it doesn't seem to be working for me?

 So yes I see that it's hinting it but it's not actually running the code for example if you replace x3D_One = true;

with

x3D_One = { systemChat "test"; };

 

it only hints the whole code and doesn't run it

I'm looking for it to actually call the variable only and not just display what's inside of it

[HazJ 1288]

Your problem is right there:

x3D_One = { systemChat "finally working"; };

disableSerialization;

x3D_One = "One";
x3D_Two = "Two";
x3D_Three = "Three";

createDialog "RscDisplayChat";

_dialog = (findDisplay 24) ctrlCreate ["RscListBox", 1337];
// As I said earlier... I recommend you use SafeZone... These values are completely different to yours. I just made a fresh one quickly instead.
_dialog ctrlSetPosition [(0.3 * safezoneW + safezoneX), (0.24 * safezoneH + safezoneY), (0.4 * safezoneW), (0.52 * safezoneH)];
_dialog ctrlCommit 0;

{
	private _data = _x;
	_index = lbAdd [1337, (_data select 0)];
	lbSetData [1337, _index, (_data select 1)];
} forEach
[
	["One", "x3D_One"],
	["Two", "x3D_Two"],
	["Three", "x3D_Three"]
];

((findDisplay 24) displayCtrl 1337) ctrlAddEventHandler ["LBDblClick",
{
	private _variableSelected = lbData [1337, (_this select 1)];
	private _variable = compile _variableSelected;
	hintSilent format ["Variable selected: %1\nVariable returns: %2", (str _variableSelected), (call _variable)];
	systemChat (call _variable);
}];

I don't think you need call, etc... Maybe just the STRING. Depends on if you are only using this for systemChat, etc... Anyway. I'm taking a break for now. My brain is hurting lo!! :)

I'm not looking to just have a systemchat.... I was just putting that inside of it for an example.
