string_labeled

[Paul Pratt]

I am using the Options manager to set the visibility of a few stringcontrols, it works fine for most of what I am changing, except for the strings that use the xml tag "string_labeled". The control shows/hides, well the line shows/hides, but the label does not. The label, when the line is shown, is missing.

I am using this:

                    function updateDisplay()
                        local bShow = OptionsManager.isOption("CGS", "dh1");
                        setVisible(bShow);
                    end

Any ideas on why the label is suppressed?

We'll need a bit more information than that. Where are you putting that function? Are you setting the visibility of the control and the label separately? Are you affecting the string_labeled template or the instance of it?

"string_labeled" is an xml tag that contains its own label. The function is in the control in the xml sheet. It works, with the exception of suppressing the "label" of the "string_labeled" tag. I see the line, can enter text, but the label below the line is removed. I am just reaching out to see if anyone has any experience with the string_labeled tag and its properties.

Is that code you're using set as a <script> entry within the XML of the control based on the template? I'm guessing you are, as you are using setVisible without the control name. If so, that will override the <script> in the template, which is used to construct the label text widget:

	<template name="string_labeled">
		<stringfield>
			<font>sheettext</font>
			<lineoffset default="on">1</lineoffset>
			<script>
				labelwidget = nil;
			
				function onInit()
					if labelres then
						labelwidget = addTextWidget("sheetlabelinline", string.upper(Interface.getString(labelres[1])));
					else
						labelwidget = addTextWidget("sheetlabelinline", string.upper(label[1]));
					end
					if labelwidget then
						local w,h = labelwidget.getSize();
						labelwidget.setPosition("bottomleft", w/2, h/2-4);
					end
				end
			</script>
		</stringfield>
	</template>

Thank you. That is exactly what is happening. I had a feeling it was the string_labeled template, so I went looking for it to check. I couldn't find it in CORErpg. That is when I came here to question what string_label was doing.

Was it in CORE and I missed it?
