ui_infield method 7, sample ?

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:09:26 GMT

I'm trying to use this method, but I do not find any sample of how to use it. I've successfully used method 1 after finding a sample.
But I'm obviously not very good at guessing, so I didn't have any success in trying to use it with method 7.
Can someone help me, please?

I studied another sample, and suddenly I understood I would obtain what I wanted using an ordinary ui_infield.
But if someone has a sample of method 7, I would appreciate it, still.

Hi,

There are numerous examples to be found in the standard ArchiCAD Library. All checkboxes in which the text is clickable are scripted this way.

This example comes from the object 'Material Legend':

ui_infield{3} "name_tab", xStart, yStart+hRow, x1-xStart-2, 15,
        7, "", 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        1, `Show Schedule Name`, 0,
        2, `Show Schedule Name`, 1

There are two thing to note here: (1) use the {3} version of the commad; (2) use it for a Boolean parameter or for one that has two fix values defined.

HTH,
