hi all
last week i asked about how to get back names in multilistbox ie by converting bitarray to array
now iam stuck with a great problem
-
i wanna retrieve name from multilist as they are selected like if first i selct 7th element from the list and then selcted 4th
now i wanna these name to be ike ex sphere07 and then sphere04 as the choice of selection is important … -
and i also wanna retrieve there index no (7,4) not (4,7) how it can be done
iam also giving that code where iam using this
fn morph_index morpherList0=
(
Morsel = for i in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.items[i] – used to collect the names of seelcted elements
morselindex=for j in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.selection as array
x=morselindex.count
if x==1 then –selecting first item it can be anyone fromlist
(
namearr= for x in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.items[x] – as first is selcted it shows its name
indexarr[1]=morpherList0.selection[1]
)
else if x ==2 then –selecting 2nd it also can be any one fromlist
(
namearr[2]= for x in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.items[x] – as we are selecting 2 it shows names of both but i waana name of 2nd selected only
indexarr[2]=morpherList0.selection[2]– for capturing index
)
)
—- this two things name with corresponding index no is required as iam using it in wiring two morph targets
– iam firing this function in multilist
ex.
on morpherList0 selected i do
(
morpharr1=morpherList0.items —- for second list
mor_num1=morpherList0.selection
Morsel = for i in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.items[i] – used to collect the names of seelcted elements
morselindex=for j in morpherList0.selection collect morpherList0.selection as array
– used for taking names of selected objs
morph_index morpherList0
)
i need this very urgently as iam doing scripting for sliders…
Here is a general example – pick it apart and modify your own.
It stores the indices of the selected items IN THE ORDER OF SELECTION in the user array lastSelection:
(
rollout test "Test"
(
local lastSelection = #()
multilistbox mlb_select items:#("One","Two","Three")
on mlb_select selectionEnd do
(
newSelection = mlb_select.selection as array
for i = 1 to newSelection.count where findItem lastSelection newSelection[i] == 0 do
append lastSelection newSelection[i]
for i = lastSelection.count to 1 by -1 where findItem newSelection lastSelection[i] == 0 do
deleteItem lastSelection i
format "%: %
" lastSelection (for i in lastSelection collect mlb_select.items[i])
)--end on
)--end rollout
createDialog test
)--end script
