DCL, Radio Buttons question

[harrison-matt]

All,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to make the radio buttons in a boxed radio column act in a fashion that if one button is selected it would reset the other buttons.

 

So, if i have:

:row
{:boxed_radio_column
{label = "Border";
{:radio_button {key = "SA";label = "S&A Sketch Template";}
{:radio_button {key = "SAI";label = "SA&I Sketch Template";}

 

If i want SA to be active then I would want SAI to be inactive and viseversa.

 

Thanks,

Matt

I do it a bit differently but there should only be 1 active choice in that scenario.

: boxed_column {
           label = "Load Vent";
           : radio_column {
            : radio_button {key = "LR-VENT"; label = "Vent"; }
            : radio_button {key = "LR-LOAD"; label = "None"; }
           }

 

????

Sorry, i clipped my code in a hurry here is that row:

:row
{:boxed_radio_column
{label = "Border";
:row
{:radio_button {key = "SA";label = "S&A Sketch Template";}
:image {key = "SAlogo"; 
color = 0;
height = 6;
width = 28; 
is_enabled = false;
is_tab_stop = false;}}
:row
{:radio_button {key = "SAI";label = "SA&I Sketch Template";}
:image {key = "SAIlogo"; 
color = 0;
height = 6;
width = 28; 
is_enabled = false;
is_tab_stop = false;}}}}

The same applies I would like the buttons to be active one at a time.

I think brackets in red need to go away

 

Sorry, i clipped my code in a hurry here is that row:

:row
{:boxed_radio_column
{label = "Border";
:row
[color="#8b0000"]{[/color]:radio_button {key = "SA";label = "S&A Sketch Template";}
:image {key = "SAlogo"; 
color = 0;
height = 6;
width = 28; 
is_enabled = false;
is_tab_stop = false;}[color="#8b0000"]}[/color]
:row
[color="#8b0000"]{[/color]:radio_button {key = "SAI";label = "SA&I Sketch Template";}
:image {key = "SAIlogo"; 
color = 0;
height = 6;
width = 28; 
is_enabled = false;
is_tab_stop = false;}}}[color="#8b0000"]}[/color]

The brackets are there for formatting the slides to the right of the buttons. They stay. The question is not what am i doint wrong it is how can i supplement my program to allow the buttons change values from 1 to 0 when the other button value changes inversely so.

Formatted properly, a radio_column only allows 1 selection. -David

Have you seen an example of what you are attempting? I would not think that images and radio buttons co exist in a radio column very well. -David

 

Another good resource

Why not use a row of two columns?

 

: boxed_column {

 : row {

   : radio_column {

     : radio_button { }
     : radio_button { }

   }

   : column {

     : image { }
     : image { } 
   }
 }
}

If you have several radio_rows or radio_columns and you want to let them work as if there's only one, you can set the first item and clear it inmedially.

 

Let's say there are 2 radio_columns. When you select an radio_button of the first column, then you can clear the 2nd with an action for all radio_buttons like:

(set_tile "first_item_of_column2" "2")(set_tile "first_item_of_column2" "0"); clear radio_colum2

And in the 2nd radio_column you can clear the first.
