dialog box help

[kiki1986]

Need little help, I'm trying to adapt code i found online and  i'm struggling how to export fruit name to 'Text1' field? Also what numbers +1,-2,-3 represent and how to use them?

I'm getting error: 'object aggregate'

var dlg1 = {
initialize: function(dialog) {
this.loadDefaults(dialog);
},
commit: function(dialog) {
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName = data["sub1"];
},
loadDefaults: function (dialog) {
dialog.load({
sub1:
{
"Apple": +1,
"Orange": -2,
"Kiwi": -3
}
})
},
description:
{name: "Fruits",elements:[
{type: "view",align_children: "align_left",elements:[
{type: "cluster",name: "Select fruit",elements:[
{type: "popup",item_id: "sub1",width: 200,},
]},
{type: "ok_cancel"}
]}
]}
}
var dialogReturnValue = app.execDialog(dlg1);
if ("ok" == dialogReturnValue) {
this.getField("Text1").value = dlg1.strName;}

The numbers represent the export value of the various items in it, with the positive one being the item selected by default.

Have a look at example 3 under the documentation of the execDialog method to see how to correctly parse the selected value of a popup field.

Thank you for that explanation.

Yea i'm looking at that example for few hours and can't figure it out,

// This dialog box is called when the OK button is clicked.
commit: function(dialog) {
// See the Dialog object for a description of how dialog.load
// and dialog.store work.
var elements = dialog.store()["subl"];
// do something with the data. <--- am i missing something here?

Yeah, that part is not very clear, but look at the butn function... It shows how to read the value from that field.

I managed to make it work but am getting numbers instead of text value. What do I need to change to get word instead of number?

[try67 · Accepted solution]

Did you follow the example? Notice that i returns the text, while elements[i] returns the number.

Ahh, that was the problem, thank you so much for help.
