GUI Teleport Menu with Map

[wingnutwn 10]

Looking for some advice on my GUI which I always seem to have problems understanding.   I have created a GUI for a teleport script, I have a listbox that all the possible places to teleport to has below that teleport button and so on with a map inside the screen.   what I would like to do is when I click on say the HQ in the listbox the map moves to the position.

createDialog "wn_teleport_menu";

//player listbox
_ctrl = (findDisplay 7140) displayCtrl 1500;

teleportarraylist = [];
_teleportnames = [];

{
    if (_x != player) then
        {
            teleportarraylist pushback _x;
            _name = name _x;
            lbAdd [1500, _name];
        };
} forEach allplayers;

{
    if (_x != player) then
        {
            teleportarraylist pushback _x;
            _name = name _x;
            lbAdd [1500, _name];
        };
} forEach units group player;

{
    if (typeOf _x == "Flag_US_F") then 
        {
            _name = vehicleVarName _x;
            teleportarraylist pushback _x;
            lbAdd [1500, _name];
        };
} forEach allMissionObjects "all";

_fobMarkers = allMapMarkers select {toUpper _x find "FOBFLAG" >= 0};
{
    _flagpos = getMarkerPos _x nearestObject "Flag_NATO_F";
    _name = MarkerText _x;
    teleportarraylist pushback _flagpos;
    lbAdd [1500, _name];
} forEach _fobMarkers;

{
    if ("MHQ" in vehicleVarName _x) then 
        {
            _mhqarray = format ["%1_INFO",_x];
            _mhqarray = missionNameSpace getVariable [_mhqarray,[]];
            _deployed = _mhqarray select 3;
            if (_deployed) then 
                {
                    teleportarraylist pushBack _x;
                    lbAdd [1500, str _x];
                };

} forEach vehicles;

You need to set up a UIEH "LBSelChanged" (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/User_Interface_Event_Handlers) and inside of that event you can use ctrlMapAnimAdd

Thanks 7erra, I think this one might be out of my range to figure out which is ok.   I've played with a bunch of lines to see what happens.   Started with the basics simple hint when lbselchanged not sure how to send that information to IDC 900 - maybe call a function?   Anyways thanks for putting me in a direction.

The LBSelChanged EH passes the control as a parameter. we can use that to get the display from which we can then get the map control again:

params ["_ctrlList", "_index"];
// Somehow get position fron the entry...
private _display = ctrlParent _ctrlList;
private _ctrlMap = _display displayCtrl 900;
_ctrlMap ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.25, _pos];
_ctrlMap ctrlMapAnimCommit 0;
