Custom Window Choices

Report · Mar 11, 2019

I'm making a proof creator that will make a different window for each format of proof. So the initial Window opens a dropbox with the options RFID, Shrink, Label, and Flexo and I to open another window depending on which option I choose. From what I have made it will open all of the different window but not one specific. There is too much code specifying each window to create an if statement it seems, unless I'm doing this wrong. any help or advice would be appreciated.

ScriptUI can be verbose, can you post your code to see if we can spot a way to make it more efficient?

just looking advice how to make the variables of win dependent on the input of PopUp.

So far I have tried If-else statements to change what win is and if it matches it would be able to return the differences in variables in the new window but that doesn't seem to work, just makes two windows.

if (win = new Window('dialog', "Enter Slit Width in mm!")){

^^^ is what is supposed to be there instead of just declaring win as a new window, Ive been diddling around and I forgot to copy the original before I had changed a lot of it.

Here is some idea which might help.
Create a function, which will show the popUp, and then make it return the selected value.
Basing on the value create else if statement or switch case.

function selectPressType() {
  var pressWindow = new Window("dialog", "Choose press type", undefined, {borderless: true});
  var selected = "";
  var r = new RegExp("&");
  var radioPanel = pressWindow.add("panel", undefined, "Choose press type");
  radioPanel.alignment = "center";
  radioPanel.alignChildren = "left";
  radioPanel.add("staticText", undefined, "");
  radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "&Shrink");
  radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "&Flexo");
  radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "&Label");
  radioPanel.add("radiobutton", undefined, "&RFID");
  var buttonGroup = pressWindow.add("group")
  buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, "Ok");
  pressWindow.show();
  for (var i = 0; i < radioPanel.children.length; i++) {
    if (radioPanel.children.value === true)
      selected = radioPanel.children.text;
    }
  if (selected != "")
    return selected.split(r)[1];
  else
    return radioPanel.children[1].text
}
var typeOfPress = selectPressType();
$.writeln(typeOfPress);

Above you can see an example with radiobuttons. If you need more explanation, or any help with adjusting it I'll try to help

You can ignore & sign, and Regexp - those are added to work with shortcuts.
