Dynamic Number of Checkboxes

[bojjenclon]

Been trying to puzzle this one out:
How do you go about making a horizontal series of checkboxes, where the amount rendered is equal to a variable set via a basicnumber element in the same window?

In other words, if I set the basicnumber field "Invokes" equal to "3," then I should see three checkboxes appear.

Using plain old CoreRPG as a base, although the extension is meant to "improve" (personal opinion of course) the Fate Core ruleset.

Couple of ways:

1) Have all of the check boxes defined (assuming you have a definite maximum) and then enable/disable the check boxes through code as the number control is updated. See the setEnabled API command: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/windowcontrol.xcp#setEnabled
2) Dynamically build the checkboxes using the createControl API when the number control is updated - https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/windowinstance.xcp#createControl

I’d tend to go with #1 - unless you potentially have lots and lots and lots of check boxes to create.

Or you can look at the ammocounter template used in 3.5E and 5E rulesets that does something similar.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Good call! :)
