Button Boxes - Steps into different .jsl

// First Option [Of course the doSomethingElse is accomplished by an Include(C:\doSomethingElse.jsl)
win = New Window( "DataBase",
// <<MODAL></MODAL>

After looking through the community boards i found how to use botton boxes when creating windows. Unlike using Check Box() or Radio Box() that require clicking through different selection and the hitting  'OK' to excute a varitey of If() statements. I then learned that you have to not use << Modal in order to get the 'OK and 'Cancel' button but insteat using 'Exit' which just exits the window. I find this to be more user friendly when it comes to others executing  a wide variety of options. The button boxes then allow you to use different icons for each button.

 

 

Now to my problem:

 

Is there a way to do a multiple of .jsl (which envolves the Include() function)? Can you introduce If() statements inside these button box windows?

 

Each doSomethingElse steps into another window with a different set of button boxes

 

Thanks

Re: Button Boxes - Steps into different .jsl

Yes. In the example, the two statements are separated by a semicolon. Each statement is an expression that is evaluated. I imagine 

doSelection_SS

 does something that selects some data and

doSomethingElse

processes the selected data.

Thank you for the reply..

Question: If i use the 3rd option that would execute both subscripts and not treat it like an IF() statement?

Re: Button Boxes - Steps into different .jsl

ButtonBox has one script that runs when the button is pressed. I think the 3rd argument is being quietly ignored:

Button Box( "S_PARAMS", doSelection_SS, doSomethingElse)

You probably want this

Button Box( "S_PARAMS", if( doSelection_SS, doSomethingElse) )

or (semicolon, not comma)

Button Box( "S_PARAMS", doSelection_SS; doSomethingElse)

both of which have only two arguments, separated by a comma, for the ButtonBox function.
