Dialog problems

[TemichSablin 10]

So the problem is:

My goal is to get info from one ListBox, get info from a ComboBox and when i press OK do the following.

[info1] exec info2

Info1 is ListBox info - it is a name of a soldier

for example "mtemichsablin"

then Info2 is the full path to the SQS

for example "temich\kill.sqs"

What script do I have?

I use Dr. Eyeball's Dialog Framework - http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=57825

I reconfigured the combobox to show other values - not the ListBox ones, but custom.

And here are some lines I tried

File - MyTestDialog.sqf from Dr. Eyeball's Framework

LOC3_OkButton =
{
 _selectedIndex = lbCurSel LOC3_IDC_ListBox;
 [color="Red"]_selectedData = LOC3_IDC_ListBox lbData lbCurSel LOC3_IDC_ListBox;[/color]

 player globalChat format["%1'", lbData [LOC3_IDC_ListBox, _selectedIndex] ];
 [color="Red"][ _selectedData] exec "temich\kill.sqs";[/color]
};

Coloured lines are those i entered.

Error in the first one.

If more files are needed i will post em too.

And, how can i transform a string data type to object type?

You are using the "control" syntax.

_selectedData = control lbData index;

You need to use the "IDC" syntax.

_selectedData = lbData [iDC, index];

Try:

_selectedData = lbData [LOC3_IDC_ListBox, lbCurSel LOC3_IDC_ListBox];

or

_selectedData = lbData [LOC3_IDC_ListBox, selectedIndex];

and ensure LOC3_IDC_ListBox is defined with an IDC value.

The safest way of mapping a string type to an object type is to already maintain an array of objects in a global variable, then find the relevant object in that array using any method (by index, nested array using named param's, str compare the string and object, etc).
