How to get the Group name (sorted) when they are actived

[shalu]

Hi All,

I have several group in my card when I click any one of the group it's name is assign to a variable, My problem is if I click the fifth group first and fourth group second then the variable shows according the group are placed, eg:(if I have group like "name","address","gender" and "grade" if i click grade first and gender second then the variable shows that gender, grade my requirement is if click the last group first then it's name should placed in first). How I solve this problem
The following code I have used.

Code: Select all

repeat with i= 1 to the number of buttons in this card
         if the is_group of btn i is true and  the hilite of btn i is true then 
            lock screen
         put the short name of btn i & cr after p
               end if   
   end repeat

Thanks

Hi.

I may not be understanding, and I do not know how you initialize the selection sequence, but why not put this in the card script:

Code: Select all

global theGroupOrder
on mouseup
put the name of the target & return after theGroupOrder
end mouseUp

This may need some refinement, to validate the target, prevent duplication, or whatever. You might make a field and test this by placing the contents of the global into the field; see how it builds. I would use a custom property instead of a global, but that is a matter of style.

Hi All,

My requirement is like Stack operation(First come items placed at last and top of the stack is last selected item) here first clicked group or button name is place last and last clicked item is placed in top.

Ah.

Then try this. Make a field 1 to show the progression. Clear the global any way you want to, before you start:

Code: Select all

global theGroupOrder
on mouseup
   put the name of the target & return before theGroupOrder
   put theGroupOrder into fld 1
end mouseUp

But now you must experiment with the keywords "after", "into" and "before", and learn to use them.
