 Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2003 2:55 pm Post subject: Checkbox list? |
 |
|
| I noticed that several programs use an element which is, basically, a list of checkboxes. Each list item has a little checkbox whose status changed when that item is cliked. I know of Garrett's method for doing this using images and vdslists.dll, however, I'd like to know if there is any way to implement the 'real' control (without any dll or checkboxes). Does anyone know? This is in VDS 4. |

The only way to do this without using a DLL and everything would be to
use VDS 5, and place the control on the dialog using APIs, I wish it could
be done Garrett's way in VDS 5, unfortunately in VDS 5 you can't get the
current bitmap image.
In VDS 4 there is really no way to put the 'real' control on a dialog without
using a DLL.

FF U mean handle to current bitmap image or something else API -> into memory? 
I think it should be possible.

No, Garrett's script checked to see what the current image was, so that he
could place set it as unchecked if it was checked or vice versa.

That should not be a problem; When U check an item in the list/menu set the flag on a variable or in a ini file (or a combination - faster for a longer list i think).Based on the flag U assume that a particular checked/unchecked image is set on the menu/list. And a timer will update the checks/images as per the flags.
Anyway this would still be possible WITHOUT "external" DLL's only on VDS 5. I VDS 4 U need gadget dll.
BTW I haven't seen Garrett's script - but that needs a dll - is that right?.

The dll used in my example I think was the vdslists.dll
In VDS 5, I found another way. Have the last table column set to 0, and
use that column as either a on or off indicator for the check box images.
