thank you @jthi , very helpful to get everybody on the same page.

Thanks for the tiny secrets like rename a table @21:15min : )

Marvelous!

Why does this vedio become blurry when I watch it? How to solve it?

[#6]

Hello @lehaofeng mybe the bandwith during the recording changed. 

Is there anything you cannot follow? 

[#7]

Just like this, sometimes it`s clear,but sometimes it`s blurry.

[#8]

Possibly, the issue is on your machine? I couldn't notice blurriness when watching.

thank you @jthi for this presentation !

I just discovered the scripters club and I am so happy to learn all those tips and tricks.

At 39:00, you are mentioning that you will make an example for listed references for many check boxes in a window. In the joined script, it seems to not have been implemented (as neither of the other examples from what I can find).

Did I miss them somewhere? Or is it plan to update the script with those examples? If you have something under the finger to make a snippet out of it that will be great ! Otherwise, I guess it will be a good exercise to script it.

I might have forgotten about it, but I think I might have referred to this Incorrect alignment of checkboxes on the user interface . Usually you have two options, either collect the checkboxes into lists while youi append them or utilize XPath.

Names Default To Here(1);

ids = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L"};

nw = New Window("CBs",
	lub = Lineup Box(N Col(4))
);


// Collecting references to a list
cb_refs = {};
For Each({id}, ids,
	Eval(EvalExpr(
		lub << Append(cb = Check Box({Expr(id)}));	
	));
	Insert Into(cb_refs, cb);
);


// XPath 
cbs = nw << XPath("//CheckBoxBox");


// You can then get values from the checkboxes by sending message to the list
show(cb_refs << get items, cbs << get items);

Maybe these give some ideas about what you could do. The post I added has a bit more complicated example and in one of my responses I did utilize XPath

Very helpful - thanks!
