O.P.  HELP - Window control to Script Variable!
How can I set a variable to collect its contents from a window control?
Example: A user types in "test" in a text area, called "EdtMessage", within a script window. When they click Save, it is stored in a variable called "message", and a toast appears with the "test" message inside.

RE: HELP - Window ontrol to Script Variable!
jscript code:
var message;
function OnYourWindowIdEvent_CtrlClicked(objWnd, strControlId) {
switch(strControlId) {
case "BtnSave":
message = objWnd.GetControlText("EdtMessage");
MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Your script", message);
// want to close the window? uncomment the following line
// objWnd.Close(1);
break;
}
}

Works great, thanks! 
Another question. Well, three linked questions. How can you create a window resizable in width but not height? Can you set a default, maximum and minimum size for it? And can you set a control (like a text box) width to 100%, so that it stretches across the whole window all the time? |

RE: HELP - Window control to Script Variable!
You are going to need to use the following
xml code:
<Window>
<Position>
<Resizable Allowed="Verticle">
<MinWidth>50</MinWidth>
<MinHeight>50</MinHeight>
</Resizable>
</Position>
</Window>
Obviously some fields are left out but you get the idea... note that all the above information is avabile in the scripting documentation you can download...
As for the other question yes you can you just need to initially set the width to stretch then use an anchor on the left and right and bottom. |

Okay, thanks.
And another thing... going back to the original question, I have a window for my Instant Response script so that you can change the message/timer. Is it possible for it to show the current message/timer, set by the user, in the text box by default?

O.P. RE: HELP - Window control to Script Variable!
Okay, but...
1) What function would that be? Would it be like "function OnWndTimerEvent_Created(objWnd, strControlId)", or does it go in the "function OnWndTimerEvent_CtrlClicked(objWnd, strControlId)"?
2) Do I replace "YourTextToSet" with the script variable?

Argh... nothing's happening! 
I've looked in the Scripting Documentation, and there isn't a function for "on the opening of a window", so how do I do it? |

RE: HELP - Window control to Script Variable!
You are correct there is no event for a window created... but when you create a Window you can assign the Windows object to a variable...
js code:
var s = 'this is some text';
var oMyWindow = MsgPlus.CreateWnd('...', '...');
oMyWindow.SetControlText('NameOfTheControl', s);
Reading the documentation fully will help make a lot of sense of things...
