B4J Question Confirm button in for next loop...

[aidymp]

Hi i have a for next loop,

I know i could do this with a message box but i would prefer to use the existing GUI buttons i have in place.

my loop searches for some values, and I would like the user to either confirm or decline the suggested change to the string.

Im not sure how I would do this?

Maybe a Do While Loop and change a value when either button is pressed?

Or is there another way?

Thanks

Maybe a Do While Loop

you cannot hold the mainthread.

you cannot hold the mainthread.

Hmmm, why are the simple things so hard! lol

So im going to have to use a message box? it will be quite distracting though, as Im displaying two lines of text one the original, and one the suggested change. I expect there to be about 50-/+ changes just displaying the fields and a change or ignore button. its an automated config file updater, and although my code works automatically, the amount of different configurations flying about I don't want to wreck someone's config files. So this simple yes no option would be ideal.

How else could this be achieved?

Thanks

You can show a modal form in B4J: Modal dialogs

However you don't really need to do everything inside this loop.

Create a global list of "questions". Show the first one to the user. When the user clicks on one of the buttons, remove the first question from the list and show the next one.

Just a Thought:
Another consideration based on using modal dialogs, is to use a customized listview with checkboxes which is populated by a settingsmap stored in a file.

See attached example project.
