Make an extra page

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 20:47:09 GMT

Hello everyone,
I am currently struggling with gdl objects more specifically user interface scripting.
I would like to create an extra page in the dialog box. Can anyone help me with that?

That depends on how the pages are scripted.
Are you using the Hierarchial Pages?

I have attached a screenshot of the interface script. I have to say that I am really new at this and I am just trying to learn. I felt like I have to mention that in case the answer was really obvious and under my nose the whole time

Ah, you are trying to edit a Graphisoft object.
Good Luck

Yes it is using Hierarchical pages (the button at the top is active).

However this script is CALLing another - "Kitchen Cabinets UI macro"

If you open that you will see the script you need to edit.
But I don't fully understand it.
Maybe someone else can help.

Barry.

Normally you'd start a new page by simply writing
UI_PAGE id, -1, "title", ""
(The id's have to be continuous)

In this case "Kitchen Cabinets UI macro" restricts the possible pages, using a command in the parameter script:

values "gs_ui_current_page" get(nsp)

gs_ui_current_page is a special parameter, using VALUES on it limits the possible pages. So you need to modify the macro too if you need to extend it.
