Ok I’m coming back from a long vacation and brain hasn’t seemed to arrived yet
I am creating a dynamic rollout (rolloutCreator) and am trying to get the codeStr: in a .addHandler to pass a string to a function. I have an array of folder names.
rci.addHandler ("btn_" + sFolderName as name) #pressed codeStr:("thisIsMyFunction " + (aFolders[Folder]) as string)
so right now the event handler writes as ThisIsMyFunction SomeFolderName, which when the fn is called SomeFolderName is undefined, where I need it just to be a string…
My Q:
what the proper syntax so I can pass the folder name from the array, to the function as a string in the codeStr:?
wrapping @@ around the array doest extract it…
I’m sure over thinking this & I’m missing some really simple here…
Cheers
of sfoldername is an array, you have to specify the element, as in sfoldername[i]
somefoldername IS the element in the array… I posted a piece of code above. Normally you would wrap @@ around a string, when using the codestr: this doesn’t work with an array.
Ok I found a work around, I compiled the string using a StringStream and formatted the letters
If anyone has a more elegant way please share!
try (destroyDialog Test)catch()
aRootDirs = #("FolderOne","FolderTwo","FolderThree")
rci = rolloutCreator "Test" "Test"
rci.begin()
rci.addText "
fn createMenu theString =
(
print @Called@
print theString
)"
for Folder = 1 to aRootDirs.count do
(
FolderName = aRootDirs[Folder]
ssTheStream = stringstream ""
format "createMenu " to:ssTheStream
format "@" to:ssTheStream
format FolderName to:ssTheStream
format "@" to:ssTheStream
rci.addControl #button ("btn_" + (FolderName) as name) FolderName
rci.addHandler ("btn_" + FolderName as name) #pressed codeStr:( ssTheStream as string )
print ssTheStream
)
createDialog (rci.end())
Cheers
