combination actions

[Silo]

Hello,

I would like to use a listbox to list different files that can be ran. When one is selected I would like the user to be able to click ANOTHER button, either text or a image, and that to trigger the EXE to be ran, but the exe it runs must be able to be changed BASED on whats selected in the listbox.

IE
Listbox has 3 options

Light
Recommended
Full

Then there is an "install" graphic/text button. If the user selects light, it runs program_lite.exe, if they select recommended, it runs program_recomended.exe, if they select full, it runs program_full.exe, BUT ONLY if the user hits the Install graphic/text object, it shouldnt run just by selecting an option.

This version seems to have the capabilites to do this, but ive tested many ways and none have worked, if anyone knows of how to do thsi PLEASE let me know [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks

Re: combination actions

That should be relatively straight forward. Build the items for your listbox with a name and the data pointing to the file you want to have executed. Then in the ListBox Object go the actions page. "On Selection Change", have it Set.Text(textobject) to the file selected.

You could then on the button, nave it get the selected item and then do a file.open or file.execute.

Look at the attached for an example.

Re: combination actions

You could use the Selected Index of the list item to determine the exe file.

%SelectedIndex%=ListBoxObject[List1].GetSelected

then use IF's for the button's OnClick event to decide what to do with the %SelectedIndex%

IF %SelectedIndex%=0
File.Execute [ProgramLight.exe]
END IF
ELSE
IF %SelectedIndex%=1
File.Execute [ProgramRecommended.exe]
END IF
ELSE
IF %SelectedIndex%=2
File.Execute [ProgramFull.exe]
END IF
