Application Newbie - run script from Number Edit Box

spudton

I have this piece of script which allows a user to input a number to fill a column. It will ultimately be used to format the data being charted.

When I create a number edit box in application builder , it's not obvious to me what the script should be within the Number edit box Properties (if indeed, that is where i enter the script)

I assume i lose the top 8 lines, as the creation of the box is already done, but the bottom 3 lines don't work for me.

thanks in advance.

win = New Window( "Set a Value",
	<<Modal,
	<<Return Result,
	Text Box( "Set this value" ),
	variablebox = Number Edit Box( 42 ),
	Button Box( "OK" ),
	Button Box( "Cancel" )
);

dt = Current Data Table();
a = win["variablebox"];
:P1F012 ETLag << Set Each Value( (a) );

In Application Builder right-click on your number edit box and select Scripts > Script:

This will create the following script in the Scripts tab:

variable_nebScript=Function({this},{numEditValue},
	// This function is called when the number edit value is committed
	numEditValue = this << Get;
);

This script is also referenced in the properties panel (rhs of screen)

 

Note - there are two kinds of behaviors you can write functions for:

Script: runs after the user changes focus from the number edit box.

Number Changed: runs after every character is entered.
