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);
