get a list as variable for a script from a dialog box

Hi,

could you please help me with scripting. I would like to create new columns automatically. The part below "//Pad(+N_Pad) - column (start) ..." works, when the list_XRF={"DW", ..} was defined within the script and used.

But, how to create a "dialog window", that enables to enter a list with (if possible variable) items, that will be used for the following script "//Pad(+N_Pad) - column (start) ..."

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table(); 

list_XRF = "";

//a=b=c=d=e=f=g=h=i=j=k=l=
//a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,

m = n = o = p = "";
New Window( "Define Pad types",
 Modal,
 <<RETURN result=""></RETURN>

 

Re: get a list as variable for a script from a dialog box

You're almost there.  list_xrf refers to a display object and is not a list.  You have to get the list when the OK button is pushed.

m = n = o = p = "";
New Window( "Define Pad types",
 << Modal,
 << Return Result,
 Outline Box( "Please define", Table Box(pad_sceb = String Col Edit Box( "Pad types", {m, n, o, p} ) ) ),
 button box("OK",
  list_XRF = pad_sceb << get;
 )
);
