check box selection in data grid and on a separate card

[keram]

Hello,

I have 2 cards in a stack (attached). Card 1 shows few text lines that can be selected with a checkbox an viewed by sclicking on the 'My Selection' button.
Toggling selection of lines and switching between 'All Lines' view and 'My Selection' view works OK - the checkboxes get selected/diselected in a proper way.

When I click on the text line itself I go to a card 2 showing the whole text line. On that card I placed a checkbox to be able to toggle selection as well.
But that checkbox is not selecting/diselecting the checkboxes properly on the previous card or previous view.

I've used this code for the checkbox:

Code: Select all

global gAllLines,gMySelection,gMySelectedLineNrs,gCurentIndex

on mouseUp
   set the itemDelimiter to tab
   
   if the hilite of me is "true" then
      put "true" into item 2 of line gCurentIndex of gMySelection
      put "true" into item 2 of line gCurentIndex of gAllLines
   else 
      put "false" into item 2 of line gCurentIndex of gMySelection
      put "false" into item 2 of line gCurentIndex of gAllLines
   end if
   
   RefreshAllLines
end mouseUp
   

and this code for the card it is on:

Code: Select all

global gMySelection,gMySelectedLineNrs,gCurrentLineNr,gCurrentLine,gCurentIndex

on openCard
   set itemDel to tab
   put gCurentIndex into fld "a" --- used during development
   put gCurrentLine into fld "b" --- used during development
   if gCurentIndex is among the items of gMySelectedLineNrs then
      set the hilite of btn "Check" to "true"
   else
      set the hilite of btn "Check" to "false"
   end if

end openCard

the rest of the code you can see on the level of stack in the attached file.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi keram,
OK I found it but you'll need to change a lot.

1) you need to set the itemDel in RefreshAllLines
2) add send mouseUp to btn "All Lines" of cd "main" to the end of RefreshAllLines (this is just for the refresh dg stuff)
3) remove (send "RefreshList" to grp "DataGrid 1" --update changes from btn All lines) from btn All Lines
4) add

Code: Select all

on openCard
   dispatch "ResetList" to group "DataGrid 1"
end openCard

to cd "main"
There are a few additions of "DataGrid 1" of cd "main" to DataArray

And you still are not done...
Your toggle is not designed correctly in the script of btn "check". I'll let you work on that.

I think those were the only changes I made

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your corrections which are now included in the attached stack.

2) add send mouseUp to btn "All Lines" of cd "main" to the end of RefreshAllLines (this is just for the refresh dg stuff)

After adding this line all the lines above the selected checkbox line in the "All Lines"view disappear like here:

also all the lines above the selected checkbox line in the "My Selection" view disappear like here:

The selection from the cd "oneline" stays now in the other views but still is not picking up the hilite status when opening that cd and is not remaining there after returning to that cd.

Your toggle is not designed correctly in the script of btn "check". I'll let you work on that.

I tried to find similar example on the forum but could not find any...

There are a few additions of "DataGrid 1" of cd "main" to DataArray

More than what you mentioned here?

Funny, I don't get the missing lines when using this most recent stack?
Tell me the steps (what do you click on) to get these results.

Hi Simon,

Here are the steps:

1. open the stack (no checkboxes are selected)
2. start selecting some checkboxes in "All Lines" view, e.g. nr 003, then all the lines above 3 will disappear, then select nr 007 and all the ones above 007 will disappear, etc.
3. Select "My Selection" view and dis-select checkbox of 3rd line and all the checkboxes above it will disappear.

Remove "RefreshAllLines" from the button 'Behavior Script"

Thanks Simon,

It works OK now, except the checkbox hilites on cd "oneline" - I don't understand why the checkbox is not picking up the hilite state with this code:

Code: Select all

    global gMySelection,gMySelectedLineNrs,gCurrentLineNr,gCurrentLine,gCurentIndex

    on openCard
       set itemDel to tab
       put gCurentIndex into fld "a" --- used during development
       put gCurrentLine into fld "b" --- used during development
       if gCurentIndex is among the items of gMySelectedLineNrs then
          set the hilite of btn "Check" to "true"
       else
          set the hilite of btn "Check" to "false"
       end if

    end openCard

Index number of the current/visible line is correct and it is among the items of gMySelectedLineNrs and yet the hilite does not change.
I'm missing something here...

and it is among the items of gMySelectedLineNrs

No it isn't, look again.

Simon

[keram]

But is it in the code for the button checkbox (the very first on the top on this page/thread)??

[Simon]

You missed my point.
What is among the items of gMySelectedLineNrs???

Simon

[keram]

gMySelectedLineNrs are the numbers of the lines that have true as their hilites. And if the gCurentIndex which is the line number of the line which is currently opened is among these hilited lines, then set the hilite of checkbox to true. What's wrong with this?

[Simon]

Here is a question for you:
Is L among the items of LOOK ?



Simon
ps hint below


















Hint: What is the itemDel?

[keram]

Is L among the items of LOOK ?

it's not LOOK is just 1 item

gMySelectedLineNrs are TAB delimited numbers and that line is in the code
gCurentIndex is just a number
so I still don't understand what's wrong.

Thanks for your patience with me!

[Simon]

OK Alright already!

2 is not among the items of 002

[keram]

Of course not.

But 5 = 005 and that's why I expected to be among the items of 002 003 007 009 005 004

So that's what was wrong?
