editing function on a listbrowers in a custom dialog

[Hippocode]

I've created a Dialog with a custom listbrowser based on the info found on Vectorlab listbrowsers.

All worked well, and I've got a simple listbrowser with only static strings/images. No other options yet, an edit button will be the next thing.

I would like to have an "edit" option when rightclicking/doublicking rows in that specific listbrowser, basicly I want the same options as we all have in the build-in Organisation dialog of vectorworks.

Doubleclicking classes/layers gives an option to edit those selected (or clicking on the edit button). I can't find any info related to such coding.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

On double click you get the negative value of the list browser control. Then check for a -5 returned by GetLBEventInfo().

Jup, did the trick.

Is there any source you know where I can find related info ?

developer.vectorworks.net is the best place for information on the function calls.

I just updated GetLBEventInfo() with the complete list of events.

Thanks for adding more information

PROCEDURE SetBooleanItem(
            dialogID      :LONGINT;
            componentID   :LONGINT;
            setState      :BOOLEAN);

The above function gives me checkboxcontrol of 2 options being checked or unchecked. What about the third option vw uses when you edit multiple layers/classes at once while those classer/layers have different values each ?

There is a single function to set any control to an indeterminate state.

FUNCTION SetComponentIndeterminate(

nDialogID :LONGINT;

nComponentID :LONGINT;

bIndeterminateState :BOOLEAN) : BOOLEAN;

Does this also apply to checkboxes ? I've tried this function but it doesn't change the checkbox visually.

To be sure we are on the same page I've added a picture of what I'm trying to achieve

Wouter,

???Did you use CreateCheckBox() or CreateThreeStateCheckBox()?

[Hippocode]

SetThreeStateCheckBoxState(x,x,2) is the one I needed

Atfirst I was trying to get this with the normal checkbox, believe it or not but I didn't know the "threestate" stood exactly for what I needed.

Then what does SetComponentIndeterminate do?

SetComponentIndeterminate is used for line, weight, color, etc. apparently everything but check boxes.
