Dialog box

[Marietaa]

Is it possible to add button to dialog box when clicked it will add value to text field,  and can be used repeatedly whitout closing dialog box?

[try67]

Yes, it's possible.

Thanks Try67 for helping as always. How would I add that funcionality to "butn" in this code?

var dlg = {
commit: function(dialog)
{
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName = data["usnm"];
},
butn: function(dialog){
dialog.end("butn");
},

description: { name: "", elements: [
{ type: "cluster", align_children: "align_row", elements: [
{ item_id: "usnm", type: "edit_text", char_width: 10,},
{ type: "ok",ok_name: "Yes",},
{type: "button",item_id: "butn",name: "Add Value"}
]},
]}
};
app.execDialog(dlg);

Wait, do you want the button to increment the value of the text field in the dialog itself ("usnm") or a text field in the document? And by how much?

[Marietaa]

I want it to increase text field in document by 1.

[try67]

Ah, that has nothing to do with the dialog, then... Use this:

if (app.execDialog(dlg)=="ok") this.getField("Text").value = Number(this.getField("Text").value)+1;

[Marietaa]

Thats not it. When I open dialog I want button in this case butn named "Add value" when clicked it add 1 to text field in document and not to close dialog so I can use it multiple times whitout closing dialog. ( button is in dialog itself)

Ah, got it... Try this:

var dlg = {
commit: function(dialog)
{
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName = data["usnm"];
},
butn: function(dialog){
	this.parentDoc.getField("Text1").value = Number(this.parentDoc.getField("Text1").value)+1;
},
description: { name: "", elements: [
{ type: "cluster", align_children: "align_row", elements: [
{ item_id: "usnm", type: "edit_text", char_width: 10,},
{ type: "ok",ok_name: "Yes",},
{type: "button",item_id: "butn",name: "Add Value"}
]},
]}
};
dlg.parentDoc = this;
app.execDialog(dlg);

Thats it, thank you so much.
