Hello Roger,
I want to add getlistelements dynamically, it works fine with tabpages, but when adding a simple button I get a new window only with the button. This window cannot get closed. What's wrong in my code ?
regards
Rudolf

Code: Select all


DCHOTKEY xbeK_ALT_F12    ACTION {||addbutton(Getlist),dc_getrefresh(getlist)}
...


function addbutton(aGetlist)
******************************************************************
local getlist := {}
@ 3,1 dcpushbuttonxp caption "test" size 10,1 ACTION {||piep()}
DCREAD GUI EXIT
return DC_MergeGetLists(aGetList,GetList)

The below code is an example of how to use DC_MergeGetLists().

Make sure to pass a parent and to use the SAVE clause of DCREAD GUI.
Also, make sure that it can only be called once.

Code: Select all

#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"
#INCLUDE "appevent.CH"

FUNCTION Main()

LOCAL GetList[0], lButtonAdded := .f., oDlg

@ 0,0 DCSAY 'Press Alt-F12 to Add a New Button' SAYSIZE 0 FONT '12.Lucida Console Bold'

DCHOTKEY xbeK_ALT_F12 ;
   ACTION {||AddButton(Getlist,oDlg),DC_GetRefresh(Getlist),lButtonAdded := .t.} ;
   WHEN {||!lButtonAdded}

DCREAD GUI TITLE 'Merge Test' PARENT @oDlg

RETURN nil

* --------------

function addbutton(aGetlist,oDlg)

local getlist[0]

@ 3,1 dcpushbutton caption "New Button" size 20,2 ;
      ACTION {||MsgBox('I am a new button')} ;
      FONT '12.Arial Bold'

DCREAD GUI PARENT oDlg:drawingArea EXIT SAVE

return DC_MergeGetLists(aGetList,GetList)

* ----------

PROC appsys ; RETURN

Hello Roger,
thank you, I forgot the SAVE clause. But it works also perfect when calling it more than one time. Why do you think that it is not possible ? I want to make a designer where I can add elements dynamically.
regards
Rudolf

Code: Select all

static function addbutton(aGetlist,oDlg)
******************************************************************
static nCol
local getlist := {}
default nCol to 3
@ 3,nCol dcpushbuttonxp caption "test " + ntrim(nCol) size 10,1 ACTION {||piep()}
DCREAD GUI PARENT oDlg:drawingArea EXIT SAVE
nCol += 11
return DC_MergeGetLists(aGetList,GetList)

You can call it more than one time but then you will be stacking buttons on top of each other.

That is a huge waste of memory.

Hello Roger,
this is no problem for me, no getlistelement has the same coordiantes, this I can check bevore adding the getlistelement.
I will test how many elements are possible till I get a memory problem.

We are not communicating here.

I'm saying that you want to make sure you don't create the same object on the screen more than 1 time.

Hello Roger,
ok, I understand , but I never woud create so much buttons on the same coordinates that memory goes out

I am working since the first version of eXpress++, but still discovering fascinating new possibilities. I have made a form designer with Scribus, where I display the the form a user creates parallel in a eXpress++ dialog in real time. So adding a new element results immediatly in appering a getelement in a eXpress++ dialog. When I would do this in pure Xbase++, it would be impossible for me, so it are only a few lines of code. I will post a video if I am ready with this module in my software.

Rudolf
