Custom Imput Window

[Admin]

I'm looking to create a custom input window something like this:

Device - [Dropdown with 3 devices]
Option 1 - [Radio Button Yes] [Radio Button No]
Option 2 - [Radio Button Yes] [Radio Button No]
Option 3 - [Radio Button Yes] [Radio Button No]

Would I have to use a VB script for this?

Seems like the ONCommand plugin would do the trick:

Looked promising, but it is only 32-bit///

Can I use ONCommand with 64bit?
By now(ver 1.00) the ONCommand PlugIn is only offered for 32bit.

[jrayself]

Ouch. His source code is available, perhaps you could recompile it in a 64bit environment?

How partial are you to using radios?  I could do something with a dialogue box where you would enter either 1 or 0.  If interested, let me know which devices to add to the list. Would you want to just select the device or select and connect?

[jason25]

How about this?

[Admin]

I've tried the 1 or 0 thing, but the dropdown or radio option would make it much cleaner with a lot of options.

[jason25]

I agree, I have been hoping that there would be some radio and dropdown options coming.  I have only been using PW for about a 18 months and that is my only gripe.  With all of the other capabilities, I'm very pleased.  Let me know if you would like the code for this.

[jrayself]

I would be interested in seeing how you pulled that off. I have a couple ideas in mind that I could use it for.

[jason25]

Not a problem, I'll post it when I get back to work tomorrow.

Are you referring to the multiple parameter input?

One nice thing to do in the multiple parameter input (with 1 or 0) as the desired output, is to use a loop to check that all outputs are either 1 or 0.

    vA, vB, vC, vX, vY, vZ, vL, vM, vN, vString)

In this case I only care that variable A, B, C, X, Y, Z are 0 or 1, so I'll setup a loop around the input to check that.

[jason25]

Here is what I did with it.  I didn't do a loop to check that the value is 0 or 1, but am doing a check to see that only 1 device is selected.
