UI Page Nav

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 02:57:52 GMT

Hello,
I'm getting fairly desperate trying to create page navigation for a UI!
I'm using Acad 15.

I have tried a number of different methods I have found around the net, but I cannot get any of them working and it is driving me up the wall!

The code below is the closest I could get it to work, where manually changing the gs_ui_current_page parameter will display the desired page. Clicking the button related to changing page DOES update the gs_ui_current_page parameter, but it doesn't change the page.
In fact clicking ANY UI_BUTTON object clears the page!!!

here is a small piece of stand alone code that I'm trying to get working.
Please note i have also tried the ui_next and ui_prev methods with no luck.


values "gs_ui_current_page", 1, 2

! parameter script
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 1 then
        parameters gs_ui_current_page = 1
endif
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 2 then
        parameters gs_ui_current_page = 2
endif

UI_CURRENT_PAGE gs_ui_current_page

ui_page 1
	UI_BUTTON UI_FUNCTION, "2", 0,50, 70,20, 2
	UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "Visit", 200,180, 100,20, 0,
        "http://www.graphisoft.com"

ui_page 2
	UI_BUTTON UI_FUNCTION, "1", 0,50, 70,20, 1
	UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "website", 200,180, 100,20, 0,
        "http://www.graphisoft.com"

Help would be appreciated

Hi johnau,
take a look at the "Interface" script in the object "Material Legend 15.gsm" in the Archicad 15 Library... 1.7 2D Elements 15 / Graphic Symbols 15 /;
and its respective macro "ui_tabcontrol.gsm" (you must first EXTRACT the "ArchiCAD Library 15.lcf" container)

Hi.

EDIT

Was too fast to respond without completely looking into the problem.
You'll need the gs_ui_current_page integer parameter
and

VALUES "gs_ui_current_page" 1,2,3

in the parameter script.

Check this code and modify to your needs in the interface script. Is a basic interface script I created for a library globals object some time ago:



!===PAGES==========
DIM pages[]
pages[1] = 'Some settings'
pages[2] = '2D Representation'
pages[3] = '3D options'
!================================================================================

UI_DIALOG "TITLE", 444, 296
UI_CURRENT_PAGE gs_ui_current_page

UI_PAGE gs_ui_current_page

UI_INFIELD{3} "gs_ui_current_page", 0,0, 300, 25,
	2, "",
	0, 0,
	1, 1, 1, 1,
	"",	pages[1], 1,
	"",	pages[2], 2,
	"", pages[3], 3

UI_BUTTON UI_PREV, "<<", 310, 2, 30, 20, 1	! Previous
UI_BUTTON UI_NEXT, ">>", 340, 2, 30, 20, 2	! Next

UI_STYLE 0,0


!*********************
UI_PAGE 1
!*********************
UI_OUTFIELD "SOME PARAMETERS", 0, 30, 0, 1,4

!*********************
UI_PAGE 2
!*********************
UI_OUTFIELD "OTHER", 0, 30, 0, 1,4

!*********************
UI_PAGE 3
!*********************
UI_OUTFIELD "SOME MORE PARAMETERS", 0, 30, 0, 1,4

It should work.
Best regards.

As for your code, it works; provided you have the gs_ui_current_page integer parameter and put the bits of code in the corresponding scripts:

PARAMETER SCRIPT


values "gs_ui_current_page" 1, 2 !You had an extra comma here

if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 1 then
        parameters gs_ui_current_page = 1
endif
if GLOB_UI_BUTTON_ID = 2 then
        parameters gs_ui_current_page = 2
endif

INTERFACE SCRIPT


UI_CURRENT_PAGE gs_ui_current_page

ui_page 1
	UI_BUTTON UI_FUNCTION, "2", 0,50, 70,20, 2
	UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "Visit", 200,180, 100,20, 0,
        "http://www.graphisoft.com"

ui_page 2
	UI_BUTTON UI_FUNCTION, "1", 0,50, 70,20, 1
	UI_BUTTON UI_LINK, "website", 200,180, 100,20, 0,
        "http://www.graphisoft.com"

Thank you nGhost, andro55 and sinceV6.
As some of you mentioned, some refactoring was required (moved the UI to the interface area, and also added the values to the gs_ui_current_page param (thanks sinceV6).

It turned out for some reason I could not do:

PAGE_ONE = 1
PAGE_TWO = 2

UI_PAGE PAGE_ONE

! // code here

UI_PAGE PAGE_TWO

! // code here

but instead had to just use

UI_PAGE 1
! // code here

UI_PAGE 2
! // code here

To get it working successfully.
Anyway, thanks for your tips, it is now working enough to use, I will see if I can get things working a bit better by further breaking down your responses.

Thanks again.

edit: you guys are legends btw, this GDL stuff is doing my head in I'm used to PHP and Python
