Building add-in: User input for each column

Abby_Collins14

Hi! I am working on building a JMP script/add-in that automatically does TOSTs for a user selected number of columns. I have the scripting working to prompt the user to select the columns using the code below. However after that, I would like to have a window pop up that would allow the user to input the practical equivalence (or have an option to use a multiplier of the SD) for each selected column. Does anyone know how to do this or have good reference of where I could learn?

 

Thanks! 

 

Code for user input column picker:

 

dt = Current Data Table();
 
cnames = dt << Get Column Names(string);
n2 = N Items(cnames);
lstNumCol = dt << get column names(numeric);
New Window("Select Parametrs for Equivalence Testing",
	<<modal,
	clb = Col List Box(<<set items(lstNumCol))
);
lstColNames = clb << get selected;
Show(lstColNames);
n = Length(lstColNames);

There are many options, here is one using Table Box

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

cnames = dt << Get Column Names(string);
n2 = N Items(cnames);

lstNumCol = dt << get column names(numeric);

nw = New Window("Select Parametrs for Equivalence Testing",
	<<modal, << return result,
	clb = Col List Box(<<set items(lstNumCol))
);

lstColNames = nw["clb"];


nw = New Window("Select Parametrs for Equivalence Testing",
	<<modal, 
	Table Box(
		String Col Box("column", lstColNames),
		Number Col Edit Box("practical equivalence ", Repeat([.], N Items(lstColNames)))
	)
);

Other good option could be Lineup Box and using Number Edit Boxes. You could also update your initial window dynamically based on user selections, but I would start with something simpler like having two modal windows.

 

I would also suggest you add Button Box("OK") and Button Box("Cancel") if you are using modal windows. JMP will automatically add "OK" button but if you add it yourself, you can trigger actions when user presses that and generally it nice to provide user an option to cancel (remember to check which button user did press).
