Keywords: autonumber dialog controls
One of our users provided the following. NB: This is untested code:
Many of my dialogues have conditional controls, as they are all quite variable to current conditions. I therefore have xNumControls=?? as the last line before the Dialog() statement
To do this you need to a variable to keep track of what control you are on, and I usually use that variable in the building of the dialogue statement.
eg: Radio button Example:
;================snip=================== ; put all other controls first. ; assume that the last control is ; control 10, at y-value 100 (vertical) xlist = tab-delimited list of unknown number of radiobutton choices to go into a dialog y = 100 xctl = 10 For i = i to ItemCount(list, @tab) xctl = xctl + 1; get next ctrl num y = y + 12 ; adv down xname = ItemExtract(i, list, @tab) Dlg%xctl%=`10,%y%,50,DEFAULT,RADIOBUTTON,variable,,"%xname%",%i%` Next DlgNumControls = xctl button = Dialog(Dlg)You will probably have to use the number of items to determine the height of the dialog, or the width, or whatever. You also have to know that Controls under 10 are known as Dlg01 - Dlg09 (ie- the numbers are zero-padded) I usually find it easier to start variable control numbers at 10 or 11 to get over this and if I don't have 9 other controls, I have something like;
Dlg07=`` Dlg08=`` Dlg09=``just so that it does not blow up.
