Documentation on the Touch Property for Bevel UI Controls

Post by chaoix »

Is there any documentation on the Touch Property for Bevel UI Controls? Specifically how to use the touch property on on "Define Interactive Characteristics" window?

I am trying to add an invisible button to my dialog that changes a variable when clicked.

Dear Chaoix,

unfortunately it's not possible to handle an "onclick" event via "Dialog Object Behavior" in dialog editor.

In addition even if this was possible, a button doesn't send any "onclick" message when NOT Visible.

I figured this out.

I was able to use a standard button, changed the Object Behavior to "Performs Action: Return from Dialog", and checked the WIZARD variable in the script for the name of the button that returned from the dialog.

Again this behavior was not documented anywhere I could find in the built in help, which should at least mention this feature.

Dear Chaoix,

in reality for such specific Behavior exists a "Basic Dialog Action sample" that demonstrates how to execute script code conditionally as result of a dialog button selection. http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewt ... 72&start=0

Unfortunately I missed the fact that you wanted to handle a script variable as result of a button selection.
So I mistakenly assumed that you wanted to handle the state of a Dialog control as result of a standard button selection...sorry :oops: !
