Hiding elements in windowlists
Hi,
So I have a windowclass that I use in a windowlist. Each entry in the windowlist has a link to an ability.
The windowclass has 3 different instances of a button_checkbox. Now, I want these button_checkboxes to be visible or not depending on wether or not the ability has certain fields or not.
I've added a script-file associated with the windowclass used in the windowlist.
In that script-file, I've managed to extract the database module which is the ability that each instance in the windowlist references to. My problem is that I am unable to retrieve the window that is created for each entry in the windowlist.
I've tried using the windowlist.getWindows()-functionality, and I don't get the single-entry into the windowlist that I have. It seems to work better, although not flawless, if I have multiple items in the windowlist.
So here's some of the things in order to explain:
The windowclass used in the windowlist:
Code:<windowclass name="charsheet_ability_list_item"> <margins control="0,0,0,2" /> <script file="scripts/charsheet_ability_list_item.lua"/> <sheetdata> <genericcontrol name="rightanchor"> <anchored height="0" width="0"> <top offset="2" /> <right /> </anchored> </genericcontrol> <button_idelete name="idelete"> <anchored to="rightanchor"> <top /> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" /> </anchored> </button_idelete> <linkfield name="shortcut"> <anchored to="rightanchor" width="20" height="20"> <top /> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" /> </anchored> <class>charsheet_ability</class> <description field="name" /> <readonly /> </linkfield> <button_checkbox name="master_skilled"> <anchored to="shortcut" width="20" height="20"> <top/> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" /> </anchored> </button_checkbox> <button_checkbox name="adept_skilled"> <anchored to="master_skilled" width="20" height="20"> <top/> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="5" /> </anchored> </button_checkbox> <button_checkbox name="novice_skilled"> <anchored to="adept_skilled" width="20" height="20"> <top/> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="5" /> </anchored> </button_checkbox> <string_textlistitem name="name"> <anchored to="rightanchor"> <top /> <left parent="" offset="5" /> <right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" /> </anchored> <multilinespacing>20</multilinespacing> </string_textlistitem> </sheetdata> </windowclass>
Code:<abilities> <marksman> <name type="string">Marksman</name> <shortcut type="windowreference"> <class>reference_ability</class> <recordname>ability.marksman</recordname> </shortcut> </marksman> </abilities>
Code:<list_column name="abilities"> <newfocus>name</newfocus> <datasource>.abilities</datasource> <class>charsheet_ability_list_item</class> <acceptdrop> <class>reference_ability</class> </acceptdrop> </list_column>
Code:function onInit() local db_node = windowlist.getDatabaseNode() local children = db_node.getChildren() local windows = windowlist.getWindows() for k,v in pairs(windows) do Debug.console("Window:" .. tostring(k)) end for k, v in pairs(children) do Debug.console("DB Child: " .. tostring(k)) end end
The db_node.getChildren() returns all the db-children that I want accurately. However, I'm unable to navigate to my three button_checkboxes and hide them.
All help is greatly appriciated!
Thanks,
Simon

This issue has been solved! Moon Wizard showed me that the simplest solution for something like this was to copy the behavior of the delete-button that appears for every element in certain windowlists in the CoreRPG module.
Said and done, I added a script to the button_checkbox (through creating a template) that handled exactly what I wanted for it to turn itself invisible or not. 5 minutes solution to a 4-hour problem. Thanks!
