UI_CUSTOM_POPUP_INFIELD

Hi GDL experts,

I have been reading about UI_CUSTOM_POPUP_INFIELD. I can get it to work in the Interface, however I am wondering how I can feed the result back to a parameter. For example:

Interface Script:

UI_CUSTOM_POPUP_INFIELD "MyParameter", 15, 70, 180, 20,
1, 2, 2, "", ! storeHiddenId, treeDepth, groupingMethod, selectedValDescription
"hiddenID1", "type1", "group1",
"hiddenID2", "type1", "group1",
"hiddenID3", "type1", "group1"

Then if I create a parameter called "MyParameter" (Type: Abc), can I then reference the parameter with an IF statement in the Master Script:

Master Script:

IF MyParameter=hiddenID1 THEN
Text2 0,0, "Type 1, Group 1"
ENDIF

At the moment the above doesn't seem to work. I would welcome any help, thank you so much in advance!

Hi,

In the master script when referencing string type parameters, you have to use “ “ as well. The other issue here is in the interface script, the array you have defined contains duplicates, all of the entries are the same “type1”, “group1”, you have to have a different combination for all the hiddenIDs in order for your array to work. Your working code should look like this:

UI_CUSTOM_POPUP_INFIELD "MyParameter", 15, 70, 180, 20,

1, 2, 2, "", ! storeHiddenId, treeDepth, groupingMethod, selectedValDescription

"hiddenID1", "type1", "group1",

"hiddenID2", "type1", "group2",

"hiddenID3", "type1", "group3"

Master script:

IF MyParameter = "hiddenID1" THEN

Text2 0,0, "Type 1, Group 1"

ENDIF
