mscholtz Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Is there any way that a click on a button can pass the object name of that button to the script that the button runs? It would be OK if this is done as a script param, or some other way. As long as I don't have to enter the object name again as a hard-coded script param. Thanks! M.

Raybaudi Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yes, there is a "not common" way ! Each button have to be a rep of a repeating field, than you can pass the Get ( CalculationRepetitionNumber ) as the parameter to a $$ variable by using ToolTips.

mscholtz Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hmm, clever, but in this case that won't work. The buttons can't be repeating fields. Anyone else know of a different way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hmm, clever, but in this case that won't work. The buttons can't be repeating fields. Why ? If they are pictures, the repeating field can be a container field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Even $ variable can be used ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscholtz Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Even $ variable can be used ! What do you mean? Are you still talking about repeating fields, or some other method? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Still repeating field ! But w/o $$, only $. BTW: why don't you want to use a repeating field for all your buttons ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 This is an example of what I said Buttons.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscholtz Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 OK, I give up. How does that work? How does $button end up = the # of the repetition clicked? I don't see where the variable is being set.. there's no script setting it, no calc. Do tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It's done in the tooltips setup. That's also the main disadvantage of this method: you must position the cursor above the button and wait until the tooltip updates, before clicking.

mscholtz Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hmm, actually on my machine that isn't true, which is why I didn't suspect a tooltip. The variable updates as soon as the cursor moves over the object, long before the tooltip fires. I've verified this w/ the Data Viewer. Good trick, although it still won't work for me because I can't make my buttons repeating fields. (And you're just going to have to trust me on that one, Daniele. It's not worth it to discuss the reasons.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't true on windows machines: the $variable updates instantly, even before the ToolTip shows itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
