JMP Application : access dynamic panel box child elements

ComplexNerd — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 21:18:47 GMT

Hi,

i am writing a app code which will dynamically create a textbox label and text edit box when user specifies how many is needed on button click

textEditBoxList = {};  // global variable
LoadSteps = function ({thisBox}, {Default Local},
	steps_number = NumberEdit1 << Get;   // get number of items from number edit box
	For(i=1, i<= steps_number,i++,
		textBox = Text Box("Step : " || Char(i));
		textBox << Set Width(100);
		
		textEBox = Text Edit Box( "Enter text here...");
		textEBox << Set Width(300);
		
		Insert Into(textEditBoxList,textEBox);
		print(textEditBoxList); // Its always empty
		
		Panel1 << Append(
			H List Box(
				textBox,
				textEBox
			)
		);
	);
);

Now on another button click i want to access the contents of textEBox of all child elements of panel box.

i tried creating a global variable and accessing through it but dosent work. any alternative or better way to achieve this would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Either use XPath to get a list of references to a Text Edit Box (or text box) or utilize a list like you are doing

Names Default To Here(1);

nw = New Window("", 
	panel1 = Lineup Box(N Col(2))
);

steps_number = 3;
textEditBoxList = {};

For(i = 1, i <= steps_number, i++,
	textBox = Text Box("Step : " || Char(i));
	textBox << Set Width(100);
	
	textEBox = Text Edit Box("Enter text here...");
	textEBox << Set Width(300);
	
	Insert Into(textEditBoxList, textEBox);
	
	Panel1 << Append(H List Box(textBox, textEBox));
);

tebs = panel1 << XPath("//TextEditBox");

show(tebs, textEditBoxList);
