UI dropdown list

[Nick Riviera]

Hello everybody

I tried to create a a script based of window panel as in the picture below but I did not succeed..

One field is for input values  and the second field contains a  dropdown list

The result creates a rectangle...

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Hello,

here you can find the script written in TypeScript: adobe-forums-scripts/Menu_UI_Rectangle.ts at master · lumenn/adobe-forums-scripts · GitHub

and below, you can find a compiled, ready to run in illustrator version:

// There should be added validation for the input, because now it can also receive letters, and other characters than digits.

function showRectangleCreationPanel() {
    var x = 0;
    var y = 0;
    var unit;
    var units = ['pt', 'in', 'mm', 'cm', 'px'];
    var heightNames = ['A', 'B', 'C'];
    var heights = {
        A: 50,
        B: 70,
        C: 90
    };
    var rectanglePanel = new Window("dialog", "Fill fill rectangle data", undefined, { borderless: true });
    var widthGroup = rectanglePanel.add("group", undefined);
    widthGroup.orientation = "row";
    var widthTextField = widthGroup.add("edittext");
    widthTextField.characters = 4;
    var unitDropDown = widthGroup.add("dropdownlist", undefined, units);
    unitDropDown.selection = unitDropDown.items[0];
    var heightDropDown = rectanglePanel.add("dropdownlist", undefined, heightNames);
    heightDropDown.selection = heightDropDown.items[0];
    rectanglePanel.add("button", undefined, "OK");
    rectanglePanel.add("button", undefined, "Cancel");
    rectanglePanel.show();
    unit = unitDropDown.selection.text;
    x = Number(new UnitValue(widthTextField.text + " " + unit).as('pt'));
    y = Number(new UnitValue(heights[heightDropDown.selection.text] + " " + unit).as('pt'));
    return [x, y];
}
function createRectangle(_a) {
    var x = _a[0], y = _a[1];
    var rectangle;
    var document = app.activeDocument;
    var top = document.activeView.centerPoint[1];
    var left = document.activeView.centerPoint[0];
    var height = y;
    var width = x;
    rectangle = document.activeLayer.pathItems.rectangle(top + height / 2, left - width / 2, width, height);
    return rectangle;
}
var rectangleSize = showRectangleCreationPanel();
createRectangle(rectangleSize);
