#52 How to update checkbox parameters ?

[Aupeix Alain]

Hi,

I have an array initialized with empty values.
I use it to add a chechbox and two buttons.
Here is a part of the code :

if tabAccess[rg,1] == ""
        tabAccess[rg,1]=cprog
        tabAccess[rg,2]=cComment
        tabAccess[rg,3]=lapt
        tabAccess[rg,4]=cdeb
        tabAccess[rg,5]=oRequis:getText()
        tabAccess[rg,6]=csite
        tabAccess[rg,7]=cCommand
        tabAccess[rg,8]=.f.
        tabAccess[rg,9]=oInfo:getText()
        tabAccess[rg,10]="version"
        cobject="oAccess"+ltrim(str(rg))
        celem="tabAccess"+ltrim(str(rg))
        butname="bAccess"+ltrim(str(rg))
        butinfo="bAInfo"+ltrim(str(rg))
        butvers="bAVersion"+ltrim(str(rg))
qout(cobject)   => oAccess1 for example
// &cObject:SetText(::title:=cProg)
        &cObject:refresh()  
        &cObject:show()
        if cSite != ""
                &butname:refresh()
                &butname:show()
         endif
         if trim(oInfo:getText()) != ""
                 &butinfo:refresh()
                 &butinfo:show()
         endif
         exit
endif 

As shown ow to update ell the parameters of the checkbox on the hardcopy, the two buttons are displayed, the checkbox also, but without caption for the last object.
How to update all the parameters (caption, on click, ....)

Thanks

Hello Alain,
can you post a standalone sample program demonstrating
the bug ?

Hi Wilfried,

Here is a test program.

You can notice that the problem occurs with checkbox caption, but also with buttons tooltip.

Thanks

Hello Alain,
i can not see with this sample program,
what the symptom is.
(See appended screenshot)

I tested the exe file in your posted archive
and the myselfcompiled sample
(The bahavior is identical, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).

Need for compile:
- Copy the include directory from my last
HWMAKE commit
- use the appended *.hbp file
- The added entries in .profile

Hi, the screenshot shows that the font is too large.
Curious, because I haven't this problem.
Do you test under Windows or Linux ?
The test is that : * Add a program * Just enter progname, comment, info, site and version. * The content of the field isn't important. * Save * You have now a chechbox without title, and buttons without tooltip. * This is the problem.

Thanks

Hello Alain,
the description was very useful.
I hope, the solution is OK to you.
Appended files:
3 screenshot, the modified prg file, and text file with diff and terminal outputs.

My recent LINUX installation i tested it :
Ubuntu 22.04 TLS

Hint for FONT:

Function documentation:
hwg_DefaultFont()

Returns an object with a suitable default font
for Windows and LINUX, OS dependent.

In my app "CLLOG" (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cllog/)
i forever checked the design on Windows and LINUX
to set a suitable font.

Hi Wilfried,
Yes it works

I have made a test (Test_Checkbox) which combines Test_checkbox and Test_for_check (the problem of creating checkbox in a for ... next boucle).

Here is this test which can replace the previous ones.

Hello Alain,
