JS Dialog with Radio Buttons (CS6)
JS Dialog with Radio Buttons (CS6)
I am trying to create a simple dialog with two radio buttons, but no buttons are visible.
Please help me correct the errors. The three dialogs that I am working with are described below.
Attempt #1: With radio buttons that will not display.
try {
//provide variable to hold user's response
var userResponse = dialogWRow ("Dialog Name", true, "Label Here");
userResponse;
} catch (e) {
alert ("User Cancelled");
}
function dialogWRow (dlgName, cancelIt, dlgLabel) {
//make sure that user interaction levels will allow a dialog
var origLevel = app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
//create the dialog
var dlgRef = app.dialogs.add({name:dlgName, canCancel:cancelIt});
//add a column
var dlgColumn = dlgRef.dialogColumns.add();
var dlgRow = dlgColumn.dialogRows.add();
var RadioBtnGrp = radiobuttonGroups.add();
with (RadioBtnGrp){
var radio_1 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"radio button 1", checkedState:true});
var radio_2 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"radio button 2", checkedState:false});
}
//show the dialog and capture the result
if (dlgRef.show() == true) {
if(RadioBtnGrp.selectedButton == 0){
app.open(File ("path\\file 1.indd"));
}
else if(RadioBtnGrp.selectedButton == 1){
app.open(File ("path\\file 2.indd"));
}
// var nameFieldVal = nameField.editContents;
} else {
//destroy the dialog before throwing exception
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
throw ("User cancelled");
}
//destroy the dialog; script doesn't get here if user cancels
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
return nameFieldVal;
}
-----------------
Dialog #2: Only OK and Cancel buttons
try {
//provide variable to hold user's response
var userResponse = dialogWRow ("Dialog Name", true, "Label Here");
userResponse;
} catch (e) {
alert ("User Cancelled");
}
function dialogWRow (dlgName, cancelIt, dlgLabel) {
var origLevel = app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
var dlgRef = app.dialogs.add({name:dlgName, canCancel:cancelIt});
//add a column
var dlgColumn = dlgRef.dialogColumns.add();
var dlgRow = dlgColumn.dialogRows.add();
if (dlgRef.show() == true) {
var nameFieldVal = nameField.editContents;
} else {
//destroy the dialog before throwing exception
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
throw ("User cancelled");
}
//destroy the dialog; script doesn't get here if user cancels
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
return nameFieldVal;
}

Dialog #3: OK and Cancel buttons and static text label.
try {
//provide variable to hold user's response
var userResponse = dialogWRow ("Dialog Name", true, "Label Here");
userResponse;
} catch (e) {
alert ("User Cancelled");
}
function dialogWRow (dlgName, cancelIt, dlgLabel) {
var origLevel = app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
var dlgRef = app.dialogs.add({name:dlgName, canCancel:cancelIt});
//add a column
var dlgColumn = dlgRef.dialogColumns.add();
var dlgRow = dlgColumn.dialogRows.add();
//add widgets to row
dlgRow.staticTexts.add({staticLabel: "Your name here:"});
if (dlgRef.show() == true) {
var nameFieldVal = nameField.editContents;
} else {
//destroy the dialog before throwing exception
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
throw ("User cancelled");
}
//destroy the dialog; script doesn't get here if user cancels
dlgRef.destroy();
//restore script preference
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = origLevel;
return nameFieldVal;
