 Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:52 am Post subject: EditBox syntax |
 |
|
I have this code in my table.
| Code: |
self.set_exp1_value = createButton(self.form);
self.set_exp1_value.Caption = 'Enter Hero 1 Exp';
self.set_exp1_value.height = 35;
self.set_exp1_value.left = 104;
self.set_exp1_value.top = 7;
self.set_exp1_value.width = 150;
self.set_exp1_value.onClick = function (sender)
local value = self.exp1_value.Text;
if value then
exp1_value = tonumber(value);
print("The experience of the 1st member entered is " .. exp1_value);
if exp1_value and exp2_value then
RecalculateAddresses()
end
end
end
self.set_exp2_value = createButton(self.form);
self.set_exp2_value.Caption = 'Enter Hero 2 Exp';
self.set_exp2_value.height = 35;
self.set_exp2_value.left = 104;
self.set_exp2_value.top = 52;
self.set_exp2_value.width = 150;
self.set_exp2_value.onClick = function (sender)
local value = self.exp2_value.Text;
if value then
exp2_value = tonumber(value);
print("The experience of the 2nd member entered is " .. exp2_value);
if exp1_value and exp2_value then
RecalculateAddresses()
end
end
end
|
And then further down the code in sub RecalculateAddresses()
| Code: |
trainer.set_exp1_value.Text = ""
trainer.set_exp2_value.Text = ""
|
Now the edit boxes work and the sub is called and executes. The only procedures that aren't executed are the last two lines listed above.
What is the correct syntax for any of the lines? |

After quick reading of your code I see that
set_exp1_value is a button
set_exp2_value is a button
exp1_value is an editbox
exp2_value is an editbox
So you should use
| Code: | trainer.exp1_value.Text = ""
trainer.exp2_value.Text = "" |
I suggest using better names in the future. Something like:
btnSetExp1 for a button
editboxExp1 for an editbox

Not really The button is beside the edit box and is used to captured the value from the edit box. | Quote: |

Sounds good I'll put that on the bucket list. |

Read my post again. Carefully.
Straight from your code:
| Code: | | self.set_exp1_value = createButton(self.form); |
So, set_exp1_value is a button.
| Code: | | local value = self.exp1_value.Text |
So, exp1_value is an editbox.

Maybe the naming is the issue, more towards the beginning.
| Code: |
self.exp_value_1st = createEdit(self.value_panel1);
self.exp_value_1st.top = 6;
self.exp_value_1st.left = 6;
self.exp_value_1st.Width = 80;
self.exp_value_1st.Height = 23;
-- The line below this, allows only numbers or the - number to be entered.
setMethodProperty(self.exp_value_1st, "OnKeyPress", function (sender, key) local keynr = string.byte(key); if (keynr~=8) and (keynr~=45) and (keynr~=13) and ((keynr<48) or (keynr>57)) then key=nil; end if (keynr==13 and not(sender.Caption == nil or sender.Caption == '')) then key = nil; self.set_exp_value_1st.onClick(); end return key; end)
--
self.exp_value_2nd = createEdit(self.value_panel2);
self.exp_value_2nd.top = 6;
self.exp_value_2nd.left = 6;
self.exp_value_2nd.Width = 80;
self.exp_value_2nd.Height = 23;
-- The line below this, allows only numbers or the - number to be entered.
setMethodProperty(self.exp_value_2nd, "OnKeyPress", function (sender, key) local keynr = string.byte(key); if (keynr~=8) and (keynr~=45) and (keynr~=13) and ((keynr<48) or (keynr>57)) then key=nil; end if (keynr==13 and not(sender.Caption == nil or sender.Caption == '')) then key = nil; self.set_exp_value_2nd.onClick(); end return key; end) |
These were intended to be the names, however IIRC (maybe over two years ago) I had to use local value = self.exp1_value.Text; to allow the recalculation to be executed. |

I recommend starting from the scratch. With proper form controls naming. And proper variable naming.
Also, I recommend using "form designer".

That's a tall order. Where do I locate the "form designer"? |

| Old style coding which you guys have been coaxing me out of. I'm not sure this is the correct forward path for me, but thank for the reply. |
