radio-button/check box bug

[HPW]

Without text the selected flag would not work.



Instead of:

Code Select Expand


(define (radio-button id action text selected)
(if text
(net-send out (string "radio-button " id " " action " " (base64-enc text) " " selected "n"))
(net-send out (string "radio-button " id " " action "n")))
)

(define (check-box id action text selected)
(if text
(net-send out (string "check-box " id " " action " " (base64-enc text) " " selected "n"))
(net-send out (string "check-box " id " " action "n")))
)

it should read:

Code Select Expand


(define (radio-button id action text selected)
(if text
(net-send out (string "radio-button " id " " action " " (base64-enc text) " " selected "n"))
(net-send out (string "radio-button " id " " action " nil " selected "n")))
)

(define (check-box id action text selected)
(if text
(net-send out (string "check-box " id " " action " " (base64-enc text) " " selected "n"))
(net-send out (string "check-box " id " " action " nil " selected "n")))
)

Without text the selected flag would not work.

This is how the syntax pattern specifies it. All functions with more than one optional parameter work this way. It makes for easier understanding of source code when you don't know the internal workings of the API functions.

I do not get it.

Without a text I can not preset the status?

[Lutz]

You could either do:

Code Select Expand

(gs:radio-button 'mybutton 'handler " " true)

; or do

(gs:radio-button 'mybutton 'handler)
(gs:set-selected 'mybutton true)


In most cases users will specify some text for the radio button. So the second case will hardly ever occur.
