How to create a button to change text with prompt toolkit

[Adrián Wulfrath]

Sooo can you share me an example for that??? plsssss

Assuming you have given all your dropdowns unique names (like dd.name = “dd1”), I guess it would look like this:


function updateProject(){
switch (this.name){
case "dd1":
// do stuff for dropdown named "dd1"
break;
case "dd2":
// do stuff for dropdown named "dd2"
break;
default:
break;
}
}


I haven’t tested any of this (I build my panels a different way), but it’s my best guess.

Something like this??????:

//Creating My Window
var myWin = new Window (“palette”,”Canal 5 Controles”,undefined,{resizeable: false , maximizeButton: false});
myWin.orientation = “row”;

var groupOne = myWin.add(“panel”,undefined,”MasterControles”);
groupOne.orientation = “column”;
groupOne.add (“iconbutton”,undefined,”~/Desktop/LogoC5Ctrl.png”,”https://www.google.com”)
groupOne.add(“statictext”,undefined,”Primer Grupo”)
var dd = groupOne.add(“dropdownlist”,undefined,[“OFF”,”Amarillo”,”Rojo”]);
dd.selection = 0;
groupOne.add(“checkbox”,undefined,”Caritas”);
groupOne.add(“checkbox”,undefined,”Iconos”);

//Action of my DropDownMenu
dd.onChange = updateProject;

function updateProject(){
switch (this.name){
case “dd1”:
// do stuff for dropdown named “dd1”
selection = 1
app.project.item(7).layer(“_Control”).property(“Effects”).property(“Control v2”).property(“Color System”).setValue([1]);
break;
case “dd2”:
// do stuff for dropdown named “dd2”
selection = 2
app.project.item(7).layer(“_Control”).property(“Effects”).property(“Control v2”).property(“Color System”).setValue([3]);
break;
default:
break;
}
}

myWin.center();
myWin.show();

I actually prove it but doesnt work, i dont know if i need something more or less. But how did you do your dropdown list ???

>But how did you do your dropdown list ???

I almost always use a resource string to build the entire palette/window.

[Adrián Wulfrath]

My Dropdown list is a Pseudo Effect inside a _Control Layer: Somethig like this:

Layer: _Control
Effect: Control v2
Dropdownlist -> OFF
Amarillo
Rojo
Morado

And i want to connect from my Script depending of Selection to the Dropdown list of my Effect. Thats because im calling the app.project.item bla bla bla
All i want to connect is that dropdown menu to my dropdownlist in my script window.

Hey Dan, thank you for all, i actually got it with this code:
But do you know how to link the checkbox with an effect checkbox????

//Creating My Window
var myWin = new Window (“palette”,”Canal 5 Controles”,undefined,{resizeable: false , maximizeButton: false});
myWin.orientation = “row”;

var groupOne = myWin.add(“panel”,undefined,”MasterControles”);
groupOne.orientation = “column”;
groupOne.add (“iconbutton”,undefined,”~/Desktop/LogoC5Ctrl.png”,”https://www.google.com”)
groupOne.add(“statictext”,undefined,”Primer Grupo”)
var dd = groupOne.add(“dropdownlist”,undefined,[“OFF”,”Amarillo”,”Rojo”]);
dd.selection = 0;
groupOne.add(“checkbox”,undefined,”Caritas”);
groupOne.add(“checkbox”,undefined,”Iconos”);

dd.onChange = updateProject;
//Action of my DropDownMenu
function updateProject(){
var dropSelection = dd.selection.text;

switch (dropSelection){
case “OFF”:
// do stuff for dropdown named “dd1”
alert(“blabla”);
break;
case “Amarillo”:
// do stuff for dropdown named “dd2”
alert(“jaja”);
app.project.item(7).layer(“_Control”).property(“Effects”).property(“Control v2”).property(“Color System”).setValue([3]);
break;
case “Rojo”:
// do stuff for dropdown named “dd2”
alert(“Rojo”);
app.project.item(7).layer(“_Control”).property(“Effects”).property(“Control v2”).property(“Color System”).setValue([3]);
break;

default:
alert(“default”);
break;
}
}

myWin.center();
myWin.show();

It’s very similar, except you would use onClick instead of onChange.

var CB1 = groupOne.add(“checkbox”,undefined,”Caritas”);

CB1.onClick = clickCB1;
.
.
.
.
function clickCB1(){
//set effect checkbox to same value as CB1
}
