Custom Input Dialog

[Harris]

How does one reference values (like text edit controls, checkboxes) from a custom dialog (modal). I see is doesn't raise events (but could it?). I create a panel with various input views but don't see how I can get the vallues from them.

Thanks

The items on the custom dialog do raise events. See the demo where a button on the dialog has a Click event that sets a some Label properties and shows a Toast. You could also inspect the properties of the Views on the dialog when it returns.

Yes, I now see how I can access content of various views upon return - since it is my panel on the custom.

I have tried a button on the panel with it's click event but it doesn't get called (currently). Do you have a link the the "demo where a button on the dialog has a Click event". I have searched and can't find it - probably cause I'm blind... I would rather used the custom input, since it is modal and I dont have to mess around with the visibility of my panel and adding response buttons, etc...


Thanks so much.

The Dialogs archive, like my other archives, is an exported Basic4android project of a demo application with the jar and xml files copied into it. Compile and run the imaginatively name DialogsDemo.b4a.

:sign0013: stund me...

Dim cd As CustomDialog
Dim btn1 As Button
btn1.Initialize("btn1")
btn1.Text = "Press me"
pnl.AddView(btn1, 80dip, 50dip, 60dip, 60dip)
ret = cd.Show("B4A Custom Dialog", "Yes", "No", "Maybe", Bmp)

My button on my panel were all created in the designer, generating members (and the click member). I have to remove the panel from activity and attach it to the custom. The only thing I see is I don't "btn1.Initialize("btn1")" in design mode. Could this be why I do not raise the click event for my button?

Thanks

I'm afriad that working from code fragments I have no idea what you are doing wrong. I assume you have got the demo working, just do what that does to begin with.
