How to make a scrollbar work in a dialog box.

[Ps-Design]

I have a dialog box containing a group with "16 radio button options". My goal is to pack it so it looks smaller. The best way I found it was by adding a scrollbar in the group of buttons, I searched and got a script but could not get it to work. Anyone have any ideas how to help me with this project? Any help is valid. Thank you...

var w = new Window ("dialog", "scrollbar");
     w.orientation = "row";  
  w.alignChildren = "top";  // insert this line
     w.location = [600,180]  
    var radio_group = w.add ('panel', [0,0,160,190],);
    var sbar = w.add ("scrollbar", [5,0,20,190]);
     radio_group.alignChildren = "left";
  radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 10, 100,   0], "Alça e Interior Azul"); 
  radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 35, 100,  0], "Alça e Interior Vermelho"); 
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 60, 100,   0], "Alça e Interior Preta");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 85, 100,  0], "Alça e Interior Roso"); 
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 110, 100, 0], "Do Tipo Toda Branca");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 135, 100, 0], "Do Tipo Toda Preta");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 160, 100, 0], "Do Tipo Pratiada"); 
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 185, 100, 0], "Do Tipo Caneca Mágica");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 210, 100, 0], "Interior Azul");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 235, 100, 0], "Interior Roso");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 255, 100, 0], "Interior Verde");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 285, 100, 0], "Interior Vermelho");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 310, 100, 0], "Interior Preto");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 335, 100, 0], "Modelo dia dos Pais");
     radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 360, 100, 0], "Caneca de Aluminio");
  radio_group.add ("radiobutton",[5, 385, 100, 0], "Modelo Simples");
    var btnGroup = w.add("group");
    btnGroup.orientation = "column";  
    btnGroup.add ('button', {x:90, y:125, width:80, height:25}, 'Ok', {name:'ok'});
    btnGroup.add ('button', {x:240, y:125, width:80, height:25}, 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});
  // set dialog defaults 
  radio_group.children[0].value = true;
function selected_rbutton (rbuttons) {
  for (var i = 0; i < rbuttons.children.length; i++) {
  if (rbuttons.children.value == true) {
  return rbuttons.children.text; 
  }
  }
  }
  // Linkar com os Scrips.jsx
w.show ()

Rather than use radio buttons, if you have that many, you should use a drop down list.

[Ps-Design]

I found this simple model of Drop dow list:

The problem is that every drop-down list I encounter, the event executes before confirming with the OK button. It would be interesting to choose the option, click ok and then the event.Chuck Uebele How do I change?

var w = new Window ("dialog", "dropdownlist" );
w.orientation = "column";
w.alignChildren = "top";  
//w.add ("statictext", undefined, "Intens:");
var lista = w.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, [
"Alça e Interior Azul",
"Alça e Interior Vermelho", "Alça e Interior Preta",
"Alça e Interior Roso", "Do Tipo Toda Branca",
"Do Tipo Pratiada", "Do Tipo Caneca Mágica",
"Interior Azul", "Interior Roso", "Interior Verde",
"Interior Vermelho", "Interior Preto", "Modelo dia dos Pais", 
"Caneca de Aluminio", "Modelo Simples"
]);
var btnGroup = w.add ("group");
btnGroup.orientation = "row";
lista.selection = 0;
btnGroup.add ("button",{x:240, y:125, width:60, height:25}, 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});
btnGroup.add ("button",{x:90, y:125, width:60, height:25}, "OK");
btnGroup.alignment = "right";
lista.onChange = function(){  
      switch(parseInt( lista.selection)){  
        case 0:  
            //code here  
            alert("Alça e Interior Azul");  
            break;  
        case 1:  
            //code here  
            alert("Alça e Interior Vermelho"); 
            break;  
        case 2:  
            //code here  
            alert("Alça e Interior Preta");  
            break;          
        }      
    }  
w.show ();

[Chuck Uebele]

Don't put the code to do something in the onChange function for the dropdownlist. Add it to an onClick function for the Okay button.

[Chuck Uebele · Accepted solution]

var dlg = new Window('dialog','Dropdown Sample');
var dropList = ["Alça e Interior Azul", "Alça e Interior Vermelho", "Alça e Interior Preta", 
"Alça e Interior Roso", "Do Tipo Toda Branca", 
"Do Tipo Pratiada", "Do Tipo Caneca Mágica", 
"Interior Azul", "Interior Roso", "Interior Verde", 
"Interior Vermelho", "Interior Preto", "Modelo dia dos Pais", 
"Caneca de Aluminio", "Modelo Simples" ];
dlg.dropDown = dlg.add('dropdownlist', undefined, dropList);
dlg.ok = dlg.add('button', undefined, 'Okay');
dlg.cancel = dlg.add('button', undefined, 'Cancel');
dlg.ok.onClick = function(){
    dlg.close()
    switch(parseInt(dlg.dropDown.selection)){
            case 0:   
            //code here   
            alert("Alça e Interior Azul");   
            break;   
        case 1:   
            //code here   
            alert("Alça e Interior Vermelho"); 
            break;   
        case 2:   
            //code here   
            alert("Alça e Interior Preta");   
            break; 
        }
    }
dlg.cancel.onClick = function(){dlg.close()}
dlg.show()

It looks great! Nice work Chuck Uebele To be perfect, it would be nice to have the first item on the list appear when the dialog box opens. Thank you.

In my script this is possible with this line:

lista.selection = 0;

[Chuck Uebele]

Yes you can do that. I normally do that also.

[Jarda Bereza]

I have same question, but I can't use dropdown because I already have many dropdowns.

I guess I should move panel position on scrollbar event or something similar.

[Chuck Uebele]

AFAIK, you can't add a scroll bar to the UI, unfortunately. That's why I'm using tabs now for mine:

[Jarda Bereza]

I created scrollable panel and it works for me. Anyway it is not so good as native support would be.

Nice! It would be good to have a native option.

[Jarda Bereza]

Only "staticText" and "editText" has native scrollbar.

They also has some properties as panels. I will try use is it as panel. But I don't think this will work properly 😄

[remydg]

Is it possible to make the window resizeable ?

[remydg]

I ment this one

remydg

Is it possible to make the window resizeable ?

Try this

var d = new Window("dialog", "Resizeable dialog", undefined, {resizeable: true, minimizeButton:true, maximizeButton: true, closeButton: true} );
d.add("statictext", undefined, "SOME TEXT");
d.minimumSize = [150,200]; 
d.preferredSize = [300, 300]; // in CC2018 your can't downsize, in CS6 all ok
d.show()

[remydg]

Actually I am Trying to do the same window than the answer number nine of that page

Re: How to make a scrollbar work in a dialog box.

[r-bin]

Try this code. Works in CC2018. In CS6 works better ..

The dialog box can be resized using the mouse.

It was checked on Windows

var d = new Window("dialog", "Resizeable dialog", undefined, {resizeable: true, minimizeButton:true, maximizeButton: false, closeButton: true} );  
var w = 900;

Very good, I have not seen anything like it anywhere. I've always been curious and willing to understand how to do these windows that use scroll bars. r-bin you are a very friendly and helpful person with everyone here. Thanks for the above script!

[remydg]

This window is not resizeable
