Self-reference in the hot-spot script ("Set Menu Script"). Is it possible?

Hi,

 

is self-reference possible in the hot-spot commands ("<< Set Menu Script"), similar to "<

E.g., in the example below I'd like to have a hot-spot commands instead of the buttons:

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );

names = {"AAAA", "BBBB", "CCCC", "DDDD"};

New Window( "Example",
 For( i = 1, i <= N Items( names ), i++,
  <<APPEND></APPEND>

 What I'd like to have is something like below:

 

New Window( "Example",
 For( i = 1, i <= N Items( names ), i++,
  <<APPEND> },
    )
   )
  )
 )
);</APPEND>

Assigning each outline box to variable is not an option. I need to be able to do it dynamically. Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks

Not sure if there is anything like << set function for outline boxes and their context menu, but you can use Eval(EvalExpr()) (or other methods, Insert one expression into another using Eval Insert, Eval Expr, Parse, and Substitute ) for quite similar effect

Names Default To Here(1);

names = {"AAAA", "BBBB", "CCCC", "DDDD"};
vlb = V List Box();

For Each({name}, names,
 vlb << append(ob = Outline Box(name));
 Eval(EvalExpr(ob << Set Menu Script(
  {"Show my name", Show(Expr(ob) << get title)}
 )));
);

nw = New Window( "Example", vlb);

(nw << XPath("//OutlineBox")) << Get Menu Script;
