Build Dialog on Conditions

[kpassaur]

I have a dialog with six Edit boxes and Labels that I may or may not want displayed depening upon conditions.

With the labels it is easy I can place a space in them and they are hidden. I cannot seem to figure out a way to elmininate the Edit box. (I saw the post about moving them out of the way - but I am not displaying and hiding them, I dont' need them at all.

If someone could post an easy example if it can be done, that would be very helpful.

My alternative is to create six different dialogs and place them in six subroutines and load the dialog by calling the subroutine. The downside is that when I want to make a change I have to edit all six boxes.

Use SetDialogObjectVisible

[ainterne]

Here are a couple of examples. Try using this and then setting the 0 and the end to 1 and run it again. So basically you can use multiple lines like this just before the "Show>Dialog1,s"
SetDialogObjectVisible>Dialog1,msCheckBox4,0

This makes the Object visible or not rather than leaves it visible but stops it being used.

In the second example you can change the 0 to 1 at the end of the
LibFunc and make the checkbox unusable but still visable.

Hope these help.

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Control Events Panel
   Width=391
   Height=385
   Top=220
   Left=501
   Max=1
   Min=1
   Close=1
   Resize=1
   CheckBox=msCheckBox1,Connect to remote server.,96,72,179,True
   CheckBox=msCheckBox3,Transfer Files to remote server.,96,128,218,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox5,Restart Services on remote server.,96,192,191,False
   CheckBox=msCheckBox6,Diconnect from remote server.,96,224,185,True
   Label=Process options,64,32,true
   CheckBox=msCheckBox4,Backout to original files on remote server.,97,159,192,False

   Button=Cancel,208,256,75,25,2
   CheckBox=msCheckBox2,Backup current files before transfer.,98,99,207,True
EndDialog>Dialog1

Thanks,

These are fantastic examples! I finished before I was this and ended up tons of code this would have avoided.
