Using value from EditInt [message #2931]

Hi,

I am creating a helpdesk with U++ and I have a dialog box where I will enter a ticket ID to lookup(below)

http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/2040/lookupticket8up.jpg

I then have a function EditTicket(int ticket_id) which retrieves the ticket info and allows me to edit it but I have a problem with passing what is in the edit box to my function.

I have tried the following but with no success

d.TicketLookupBtn <<= THISBACK1(EditTicket, d.TicketLookupBox);

How do I use what is in the edit box and pass it to my function?

void MyApp::EditTicket()
{
    int q = ~ticketLookupBox;
}

MyApp::MyApp()
{
    TicketLookupButton <<= THISBACK(EditTicket);
}

Hope that helps..

To get the data associated with the widget myWidget you can use the operator '~'. For example a = ~myWidget as showed above.
When you need to set some value use the operator '<<='. For example:
myWidget <<= data;
In your case I think you can use

d.TicketLookupBtn <<= THISBACK1(EditTicket,  ~d.TicketLookupBox);

Let us know if you resolved the problem.

No, this is wrong - you would call EditTicket with TicketLookupBox value extracted at the moment of THISBACK1 creation, not the current value!

Neither of the above examples worked Sad

I will give snippets of my code in the hope it may help.
LookupTicket() is the function which shows the lookup dialog(see first post) and EditTicket(int ticket_id) will give me a dialog to update the ticket. The ticket_id parameter must be passed to the EditTicket function so it can get data for the correct ticket.

void Helpdesk::LookupTicket()
{
	WithLookupTicket<TopWindow> d;
	CtrlLayout(d, "Lookup Ticket");
	
	//This is the problem code
	d.TicketLookupBtn <<= THISBACK1(EditTicket, d.TicketLookupBox);
	//========================
	
	d.Run();
}

void Helpdesk::EditTicket(int ticket_id)
{
	WithEditTicket<TopWindow> d;
	CtrlLayout(d, "Edit Ticket");
	
	//Edit Ticket Code
	
	d.Run();
}

Ah, I see. This is not typical solution, the problem is that still that "THISBACK1" used this way simply stores current value for EditTicket.

There are several ways how to solve this:

- use class for LookupTicket, then the EditTicker, parameterless, will be its member and you will be able to read the value of LookupTicket's LookupTicketBox as it will be the member. This is what I proposed in recent reply.

- use breaker - if you press that button, "d.Run" will be breaked and you will be able to read the value of d.TicketLookupBox and call EditTicket.

d.Breaker(d.TicketLookupBtn, 111);
for(;;) {
   int c = d.Run();
   if(c == 111)
      EditTicket(~d.TicketLookupBox);
   if(c == IDCANCEL) // close button will send this
      break;
}

- you could also make EditTicket to accept a pointer to EditInt and pass that pointer using THISBACK1. This is the worst solution IMHO.
