[Closed] dotNetObject inside a function, how to?

Nov 15, 2012 7:32 am

my goal is getting something like dynamic UI and add buttons labels as needed.

when calling dotnet objects inside functions it works , problem is Events see the dotnetobject as undefined.

here is the code




form=dotNetObject "form"

form.show()

--what does work

test1=dotNetObject "button"
test1.text = "test1"
test1.bounds = dotNetObject "system.drawing.rectangle" 30 50 40 30 
form.controls.add test1




--what doesnt work
--local test2
fn add_dn_but nme txt =
	
(
	nme=dotNetObject "button"
	nme.text = txt
	form.controls.add nme
)

add_dn_but test2 "test2"





		mouseIsDown=false
		mouseRIsDown=false
		mouseMIsDown=false

fn formMouseDown sender arg=
(
	if arg.button==arg.button.left do
	(
		mouseIsDown=true
		mouseRIsDown=false
		mouseMIsDown=false
		print "left"
	)
	if arg.button==arg.button.right do 
	(
		mouseRIsDown = true
		mouseIsDown=false
		mouseMIsDown=false
		print "right"
	)
		if arg.button==arg.button.middle do 
	(
		mouseMIsDown= true
		mouseIsDown=false
		mouseRIsDown=false
		Print "middle"
	)
	
	
	
)
fn formMouseUp sender arg=
(
	mouseIsDown=false
	mouseRIsDown=false
	mouseMIsDown=false
)

dotNet.addEventHandler test1 "mouseDown" formMouseDown
dotNet.addEventHandler test1 "mouseUp" formMouseUp

-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
dotNet.addEventHandler test2 "mouseDown" formMouseDown
dotNet.addEventHandler test2 "mouseUp" formMouseUp

for sure i’m missing something or it can’t be done this way

This post by lo a while ago should answer any questions you have about building dotNet controls in functions. It’s a really neat idea to reduce repetitive code.

finally fixed

for anyone wants to know how


  fn add_dn_but txt = --anyotheroptions
  	
  (
  	local nme=dotNetObject "button"
  	nme.text = txt
  	nme.bounds = dotNetObject "system.drawing.rectangle" 0 20 40 30 
  	nme
  )
  
  test2 = add_dn_but "test2"

just that simple
i didn’t try it inside “for loop” but i geuss it will work fine
