Introduction
Opi
I have a script that does the following
- Acts on the the files/folders currently selected
- Invoked with a keystroke
- Throws up a detatched dialog box (screenshot)
- The dialog box has 5 controls which I populate then click ok
- The files then have a suffix added to them and are moved to a new location.
- The suffix and location are function of the 5 controls.
So far so good.
It is very cludgy code. For example the locations are hardcoded but it works for me.
Objective
Consider control C2
When I select "cli" (as shown" I want control C5 to automatically check itself.
If I change C2 from "cli" to something else then I want C5 to uncheck
Control C2 Handler
The code handling interactions for C2 is shown in the pink box (right hand side)
The debug output shows 3 instances where this code has run (3 pink boxes in the debug section)
Instance 1
This ran when I tab into C2 and C2 is unpopulated.
Dlg_Control_Check_Box_Ask.value = False which corresponds to C5 unchecked
All good.
Instances 2 and 3
This debug ran when I set C2 to "cli"
Dlg_Control_Check_Box_Ask.value = False on entry. Consistent.
I attempt to check the checkbox now with
Dlg_Control_Check_Box_Ask.value = "true"
There is no error but the .value property does not seem to change.(Red box)
I was expecting the assignment to take and control C5 to check itself.
What am I doing wrong?
Attachments
I fear it might just confuse people but I have attached the entire code and a button in case.
