Problem with storing GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID

Domagoj Lukinic — Tue, 13 May 2025 09:13:27 GMT

Hi all,

I have a problem in my interface script.

I have a table that can have a range [0,10], in UI there is a UI_BUTTON (GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID=11 and GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID=12) that adds and subtracts a table by one (+ and - in the pic) there is also a UI_BUTTON with text "Simbol 1,2,3...10", (GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID=j) when the UI_BUTTON is pressed you get a selection of symbols that you can choose, however the problem starts when you choose a symbol the infield disappears become GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID becomes 0 i also have a specific text input field that shows specifically when some symbols are selected. My question is can I "force" AC to store the current value of GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID?

picX=50 picY=50 for j = 1 to numberOfTabs if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = j then ui_infield{4} simbolSelectionPosText[j],330,0,350,uiDimY, 1, "", 7, 2, picX+50, picY+70, picX, picY, simbolSelectionPosPic, simbolSelectionPosText, simbolSelectionPosIndex endif next j

Hi,

I still don't understand your purpose for doing those things. If it's just to select the desired symbol type, why don't you create a "type" variable and use UI_INFIELD{4} to display the image for easier selection? If you have a different purpose, it's best to upload the object so it's easier to visualize.

Could you create a parameter for the button id and update it in the parameter script whenever the GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID is different from 0? Then use the parameter instead of GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID in the ui script.

This is the solution. But if you use a parameter to store this information its funnily even easier to have the buttons correspond to the parameter directly, like e.g. an ui_infield{3} with method = 4.

Either way it will work.

Hi all,

thank you all for the suggestions, and yes this works.

I added a condition in parameter script:

if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID >= 1 and GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID <= brojSimbola then parameters activeSimbol = GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID endif

and added a parameter activeSimbol int 1

and replaced the conditions inside the loop with that variable.

once again thank you all for the replay and suggestions.

BUTTON_ID kind of never worked as suposed (or better words as I imagined it should work),

The proper way to go is the UI_PICT_RADIOBUTTON/ UI_PICT_RADIOBUTTON{2} - it is with picture or text depending on if the picture is defined.
