What is My id ? canvas.Window.new()

Postby kuifje09 » Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:14 pm

Hello, I ran into the next question. I created a window, canvas.Window.new() ans so on for the canvas etc. But now I want to know what is my id,
or how to access the tf.t values, in fact 2 questions, becaus the id leads to more properties...
I know it is in /sim/gui/canvas/window[?]/tf/t[|1] but how can I find my id which is needed to get to window[id].*
I could not find it in some docs? wrong docs I must have read... And tried almost anything I could guess about. but no luck sofar.

If someone knows howto find a way to know who I am, ( the window ) I would be very pleased.
I do not mean to go through the property browser, but by some nasal command. i.e.

Mywindow = canvas.Window.new();
MyId = MyWindow.id;

such form or like that...

Thanks in advance.

Well, found a kind of solution. Went trough the source and saw this,
m.setInt("content-size[0]", size[0]);
m.setInt("content-size[1]", size[1]);
Then I tried getInt and get, it was get... Now I can continue again.... also for other property members.

Code: Select all
canvas.get( cmdarg() );


you can simple use this to get a handle to the active canvas

This only works within xml dialogues...

For windows window.get("id") should work. (I'm on vacation, so I can not check it...)

If by example, this works in any case when create a window from nasal.
Code: Select all
      me.dlg = canvas.Window.new([w,h]);
#This is my id
      me.id = me.dlg.get("id");
      print("My id is :"~me.id);
#This is my property path
      me.prop = "/sim/gui/canvas/window["~me.id~"]";
      print("My property path : "~me.prop);

Maybe there is another shortcut, but this clearly shows what is going on.

Does not work if you create a window with the id :
Code: Select all
var wnd = canvas.Window.new([400,400],"type",55);
var id = wnd.get("id");
print(id);
print (getprop("/sim/gui/canvas/window["~id~"]/id"));

In this case the property path is using the last index of the table /sim/gui/canvas/window
