| Add different preset values to spinners when clicking a button...?
|
|
|
Hi All
i’m trying to have a set of spinners which i can update with preset values by clicking different buttons.....
ie. click button1 to update spinnerA with 1.0 spinnerB with 0.5 etc.
click button2 to update spinnerA with 0.5 spinnerB with 1.2 etc.
do you know if this is possible? cannot seem to find any way to do it....
thanks in advance :)

Would those function params not have to be “in” (or “out") values - passed by reference not by value? Not sure if you can pass object properties as references though - would have to test that.

Ok, it does work, if the params are by reference.
utility test "Test"
(
fn preset1 &val1 &val2 = (val1 = 1.0 ; val2 = 0.5)
fn preset2 &val1 &val2 = (val1 = 0.5 ; val2 = 1.2)
spinner spnA "A:" range:[0,100,0]
spinner spnB "B:" range:[0,100,0]
button btnP1 "Preset 1"
button btnP2 "Preset 1"
on btnP1 pressed do ( preset1 &spnA.value &spnB.value )
on btnP2 pressed do ( preset2 &spnA.value &spnB.value )
)

Excuse my stupid mistake above, it come from my working style :)
i.e. my coding declaration goes…
1. Local variables
2. Main Functions
3. UI controllers
-----------------------
4. UI Functions
Usually all functions (in UI’s) are declared before the rollout controllers (alias good practice), but I found as useful to add the functions that control the UI after that with “hard-coding” path to the controllers. This benefit me with more simplified usage of the function inside the code. So, if you find this style useful, here is an example:
if classOf Test == RolloutClass do destroyDialog Test
rollout Test "Button Test"
(
spinner spnA "A:" range:[0,100,0] across:2
spinner spnB "B:" range:[0,100,0]
button btnP1 "Preset 1" across:2
button btnP2 "Preset 2"
fn presets id = (
case id of (
1: (spnA.value = 1.0 ; spnB.value = 0.5)
2: (spnA.value = 0.5 ; spnB.value = 1.2)
)
)
on btnP1 pressed do ( presets 1 )
on btnP2 pressed do ( presets 2 )
)
createDialog Test
