MUICycle

[AlfaRomeo]

Hi people,

I have a MUIPage layout already constructed inside a MUIWindow and want to make appear/desappear a new MUIString like a kind of MUIInsertSingle / MUIRemoveSingle when a MUICycle gadget is pressed.

What is the best way to do this without have to reconstruct the entire page again?

; Set some application properties
MUIApplicationTitle "3ncrYptor"
MUIApplicationDescription "MUI encrypter/Decrypter program"

Statement noRnd{}
  
  Make appear a MUIString (like a insert in the page) whithout desconstruct/reconstruct the entire page:
  MUISet 3,#MUIA_String_Accept,"0123456789"
  MUIString 4,"",6
  MUIAddObjsHGroup 6,0,2,4
  MUICreateHGroup 6
  MUIAddObjsPage 10,6

End Statement

success.l=0
myChoice.l=False
cy.l=0

;NoCli
WBStartup
FindScreen 0

Dim PageName$(2)

PageName$(0)="3ncrYpter"
PageName$(1)="d3crypt3r"

MUILabel 0,"Generate a random key?",#MUIO_Label_DoubleFrame
MUILabel 1,"The option chosen was",#MUIO_Label_DoubleFrame
MUICycle 2,"Rnd key","Yes","No"

MUIAddObjsHGroup 6,0,2
MUICreateHGroup 6

MUIAddObjsPage 10,6
MUICreatePage 10,"3ncrYpt3r","d3crYpt3r"

MUICreateWindow 11,"crYpt3r","PAGE",10
MUIAddSubWindow 11

If MUICreateApplication <> True Then End

MUINotifyApp 11,#MUIA_Window_CloseRequest,1,-11


success=MUIOpenWindow (11)

Repeat
  ev.l=MUIWaitEvent
  Select ev
    Case myChoice
      cy=MUIGetCycle (2)
      ;If cy=1 Then rndKey{}
      If cy=2 Then noRnd{}
    End Select
Until ev=-11

MUICloseWindow 11

End

The best way to do it is to have the gadget there, but set the #MUIA_ShowMe attribute to False to make it hidden. You can then set it to True (which is 1 for MUI attributes, not -1 like elsewhere) to then make the gadget appear whenever you like, e.g. when the cycle gadget is changed.
