Dialog question

[gkick]

Hi,

What is the best approach to display a combo listing available runways for a preselected airport input box to avoid entering a non existing runway nos.
The airport prompt updates the airport.teleport(airport = to reposition the aircraft aloft some distance etc approaching the nominated airport and runway.

The position aircraft in air dialog has no combo, the airports dialog has one coupled to a radio button. There must be a shorter way for a simple dialog
like look up runways for airport, put those numbers into an array (think its called a hash or a vector in Nasal) and use the array to fill the combo
and after update set the corresponding runway prompt for the airport.teleport function.

Anyone has come across an example of something similar?

Thanks

Hi,

Is something like this you want ?

Hi,

thank you for your response. No what I need is a droplist to select a runway like in the route manager dialog

merci

You can simply use a Canvas ScrollArea (vertical), add the corresponding elements to it (e.g. buttons, labels, images) and then hook up event handlers to each element. That takes roughly 20 lines of code. You can refer to the original "Aircraft Center" in $FG_ROOT/Nasal/canvas: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Aircraft_Center



or simply see the canvas snippets wiki article: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Canvas_Snippets

The same approach can be used to create a simple property-browser approximation (it's just a foreach loop that ends up calling iself recursively to traverse/dump the current property branch and register event handlers for each entry):


Finally, once you have something that works, you can also create a new dedicated widget, see:
