Embedding scripts into a display box in JMP9

jay_holavarri

We use old JMP9 licenses on production floor PC's and JMP13 for most engineers with a job requiring data analysis. It's frequently handy for me to convert a JMP13 script into something that runs on JMP9.

 

Does anyone know/remember if you can attach a script to checkbox such that it runs a function whenever a box is checked. At some point, it looks like JMP introduced a 'set function' message that I use in JMP13 scripts, but it doesn't appear to be available in JMP9. I'd like to know if the functionality isn't there, or if the method is just different.

Here is an example of using 'set function' in JMP13.

 

panelBox_filter << Append(
	cb_filter = Check Box(
		filterList,
		<<Set Function(
			Function( {this, icheck},
				cb_request_sel = this << get selected;
				If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "TR" ) > 0,
					filterTr = 1,
					filterTr = 0
				);
				fnShow( filterTr, pb_tr );
				If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Date" ) > 0,
					filterDate = 1,
					filterDate = 0
				);
				fnShow( filterDate, pb_Date );
				If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Product Type" ) > 0,
					filterProdType = 1,
					filterProdType = 0
				);
				fnShow( filterProdType, pb_ProdType );
				If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Pens" ) > 0,
					filterPens = 1,
					filterPens = 0
				);
				fnShow( filterPens, pb_pens );
			)
		)
	)
);

 

Thanks!

Set Function was added in JMP 10, so JMP 9 will not recognize it. You can rewrite using Set Script. Something like this:

 

panelBox_filter << Append(
	cb_filter = Check Box(
		filterList,
		<<Set Script(
			cb_request_sel = cb_filter << get selected;
			If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "TR" ) > 0,
				filterTr = 1,
				filterTr = 0
			);
			fnShow( filterTr, pb_tr );
			If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Date" ) > 0,
				filterDate = 1,
				filterDate = 0
			);
			fnShow( filterDate, pb_Date );
			If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Product Type" ) > 0,
				filterProdType = 1,
				filterProdType = 0
			);
			fnShow( filterProdType, pb_ProdType );
			If( Contains( cb_request_sel, "Pens" ) > 0,
				filterPens = 1,
				filterPens = 0
			);
			fnShow( filterPens, pb_pens );
		)
	)
);
