Popup window with checkbox written in Javascript

[jessevic]

Hello,

Task of the checkboxes in the popup window is to write the checkbox values to File > Properties > Description > Title.

If you selected 2 checkboxes, a ";" should be a separator between the 2 fields in the File > Properties > Description > Title field.

If you select only 1 checkbox, there is NO ; at all.

If you select 3 checkboxes, the separator is always a ; (in this case 2 times a ; )

This is one of my tries, hope that some freaks can help me.

I need also to exand the checkboxes until 9 different checkboxes.

var dialog2 =

    {

        initialize: function(dialog) {

            // Set a default value for radio button field

            dialog.load({"ckb1": true });

        },

        commit: function(dialog) {

            // When the user presses "Ok", this handler will execute first

            var results = dialog.store();

        },

        // The dialog box description

        description:

        {

            name: "More Personal Information",

            elements:

            [

                {

                    type: "view",

                    align_children: "align_left",

                    elements:

                    [

                        {

                            type: "static_text",

                            name: "Personal Information",

                            bold: true,

                            font: "dialog",

                            char_width: 30,

                            height: 20

                        },

                        {

                            type: "check_box",

                            item_id: "ckb1",

                            name: "Pet Owner"

                        },

                                                {

                            type: "check_box",

                            item_id: "ckb2",

                            name: "Pet Owner test"

                        },

                                                                        {

                            type: "check_box",

                            item_id: "ckb3",

                            name: "Pet Owner test"

                        },

                    ]

                },

                {

                    type: "gap",    //Add a small vertical gap between

                    height: 10      //check boxes and buttons

                },

                {

                    type: "ok_cancel",

                    ok_name: "Ok",

                    cancel_name: "Cancel"

                }

            ]

        }

    };

this.info.author=""

if ("ok"==app.execDialog(dialog2)){

    this.info.title=dialog2.results

};

Examples

checkbox 1 and 2 selected results in: Pet Owner;Pet Owner test

checkbox 1 selected results in: Pet Owner

checkbox 1 and 2 and 3 selected results in: Pet Owner;Pet Owner test;Pet Owner test

No checkbox selected results in: <<empty field>>

Additional info.

Now there is no info written at all to Properties of the files. So there are some additional bugs in my code to solve.

You're not really doing anything in the commit function. Use this code instead:

commit: function(dialog) {
    // When the user presses "Ok", this handler will execute first
    var results = dialog.store();
    var tickedItems = [];
    if (results["ckb1"])
        tickedItems.push("Pet Owner");
    if (results["ckb2"])
        tickedItems.push("Pet Owner test1");
    if (results["ckb3"])
        tickedItems.push("Pet Owner test2");
    this.results = tickedItems.join(";");
},
