JSL create a Query dialog

[#1]

hello.

my project is to create a Query dialog with JSL.

i would like to make a dialog box  where i can put a certain number of Lots  and put this  values in a variable

so.. i found the option "COL SPAN BOX"... seems useful.....but work only if i put one lot Number.

here the rudimental script i builted:

test = New Window( "lots query",
   <<Modal,
  <<Return Result,
  Table Box(
     Col Span Box( "Insert Lot_ID", neb = Number Col Edit Box( "Lot List", [0] ), ),
      V List Box(
         Button Box( "test" ), /
         Button Box( "OK", Lot_number = neb << Get ),
         Button Box( "Cancel" )
        )
    )
);

but my scope is to have the possibility to insert an undefinite numbers of lots and get the values for all of them.

how i can modify my code (or indicate me some other way) to get my scope?

 thanks in advance

This I think would work for you. 

test = New Window( "lots query", <<Modal, <<Return Result,
	Table Box(
		neb = Number Col Edit Box( "Lot List", J(1, 20,.) ),    
    ), 
    Buttonbox("Add Row", 
    	neb << Add Row({.});
    ),
    H List Box( Button Box( "OK" ), Button Box( "Cancel" ) )
);

//because you're using return result you can do this
values = test["neb"];
//get the values that aren't missing
non_missing = loc(ismissing(values), 0);
// set values to only the non_missing values
values = values[non_missing];

But if you can query the database in advance you can select only the lots that actually exist with something like this

//real query would be an open database call
//dt = open database("FAKE DATABASE", 
//	"SELECT DISTINCT LOT", 
//	"Lot Numbers"
//);

//this is just a fake table for example
dt = New Table("Lot Numbers", 
	New Column("Lot", "character", Set Values({"A12", "B36", "C465", "D234"}))
);

test = New Window( "lots query", <<Modal, <<Return Result,
	lots = column(dt, "Lot") << Get Values;
	lb_lots = listbox(lots, nlines(10), values = lb_lots << Get Selected), 
    H List Box( Button Box( "OK" ), Button Box( "Cancel" ) )
);

show(values);

woww!!! very nice script Vince

the first solution is the one  closest to my query dialog Query!!!!

if now i have a batch of lots.. and i want to make copy /past in the dialog box.. and get the values do you think is possible?

Yeah that's native. You don't even need to do anything. Just copy from excel and when you paste it should paste properly.
