[PLUGIN] ComboBox & ListBox

Awesome plugin. Downloading now since I need a combo box for this website I am doing. The coolest part is, this box does nothing... it's just there for customer satisfaction or some rubbish (advertising at it's best!), so this will work wonderfully. :D

Looking forward to the final version though, since I can see this being very handy in practical situations :D

*EDIT*

Small issue... there seems to be no way to set the size of the box at runtime, or make it visible/invisible. Either one of these options would be nice, since I either need to be able to hide and show it when needed, or to be able to create it and define the size I want (not just the default size).

Any chance of a quick addition?

Changelog v1.13

[Add] Size and visibility flags added.

Hey, that was fast. Thanks a lot, Septeven :D

I did figure out a way around it, simply by destroying and creating the boxes again. I managed to work the default size into the design... but fantastic :D That will certainly be useful in the future.

Discovered a bug while using ComboBox plugin...

Changing layouts causes a debug window error, which stops things from working, such as the layout change itself or even mouse input. It has to do specifically with "getValueSelected"

I can post my capx if you like, however it should be fairly easy to reproduce in such a way:

1. Create two layouts

2. On layout one make an event "mouse is clicked, change to layout2"

3. On layout 2 create a combobox and make some event that calls the getValueSelected expression.

4. Test preview

5. ????

6. PROFIT!

What's the browser you're using ? In firefox, I can't reproduce this bug.

Send me your capx please, I'll take a look.

5. Check firebug it raises a "Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount" in l.246

exps.getValueSelected = function (ret)

{

var optionID = this.elem.options[this.elem.selectedIndex].id;

ret.set_any(optionID);

};

Depending on the context, it appears to be freezing the appli and preventing the passage to another layout.

I haven't been able to reproduce the freezing from a blank capx, but in soldjah's it clearly freezes and prevents to go to a second layout.

Example that raises the error, but still goes to layout1 (starting from layout2)

Changelog v1.14

[Fix] Expression getValueSelected occurs a bug when comparing.

<font color=red>Be aware that the first line's ID of a comboBox is 1, not 0.</font>

SoldjahBoy

OK, I looked your capx. I don't understand why you compare the getValueSelected without any options added in your comboBox... ? Maybe that's only for the example, but it's a part that occurs the issue.

Firstly, you have to add at least one line.

getValueSelected return the ID of the selected line, BUT, it starts from 1 (not from 0).

So you have to compare with '1' if you want to know if the first line is selected.

Let me know if it solved the bug.

Thanks

Will have to let you know tomorrow when I get up. Since you mention it I think I know what may be causing it. Might be easily fixed.

I'll let you know.

Thanks for the super fast updates :D

That was Kyatric's example, not mine. I was aware that it was indexed from 1 not 0, but it didn't seem to make any difference to the error.

My error seemed to be existing since I was trying to retrieve the index selection from the object, whatever it was (I was using EVERY TICK -> SET TEXTBOX.TEXT to COMBOBOX VALUE SELECTED) at the time. The problem was that the box did not exist in the layout yet.

I can fix the problem by making a new condition "COMBOBOX.VISIBLE = VISIBLE" as part of the conditions for checking. This only returns the value when the object exists.

Hopefully that helps.

No it doesn't help, please send me YOUR capx.

I need it. Thx :)

Great plugin septeven though I am having a bit of trouble. Take a look here:

<img src="http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4378/clipboard01ey.jpg" border="0" />

I'm trying to get the textbox to say Ogre when selecting Ogre from the list but I can't seem to do it, I've tried both 1 and 0 for the selected line and ID. I can get the text box to say Ogre when selecting Dragon, the second line, but not the first.

What thing am I stupidly missing? <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I can't send you my capx, unfortunately. It belongs to a advertising company under intellectual rights property.

I will see if I can reproduce the bug in a new cpax file, once this project has been completed. Might be a few days.

You may take off all things in relation with your client.

It would be easier to remake the error. There are over 300 events spread over 20+ groups.

It's a little bit... involved.

I'll get a new capx and see if I can reproduce.

I fixed it. Can you wait still I fix the SoljahBoy's bug to release a corrected version ?
