Creating multiple controls in a loop
Post by Richard Russell on Feb 6th, 2015, 1:36pm

Somebody over at the Liberty BASIC Community Forum is asking about how to create multiple controls in a loop. It's not possible in LB4.04 but it is possible in LBB using MAPHANDLE:

Code:
  for box = 1 to 10
    statictext #WIN.st, str$(box), 95, 78 + box*20, 18, 20
    textbox #WIN.tb1, 115, 72 + box*20, 350, 25
    textbox #WIN.tb2, 461, 72 + box*20, 40, 25
    stylebits #WIN.tb2, _ES_RIGHT, 0, 0, 0
    maphandle #WIN.st, "#WIN.statictext";box
    maphandle #WIN.tb1, "#WIN.TEXT";box
    maphandle #WIN.tb2, "#WIN.TEXT";box;".TEMP"
  next
  WindowWidth = 600
  open "Looped controls" for window as #WIN
  wait


That code creates this window:

Perhaps somebody with access to the LB forum could tell the OP about this option.

That somebody from Conforums is writing this reply. I've just gotten back into the coding loop. Been out of it for about two and a half years.

I was glad to see rtr respond to my question. Like so many people, I have given up on getting a quick new release of LB to help solve my problems. Such a shame that a released beta has an expiration date. An American would say: DUH?? The 'in a few days' inevitably turns into at least weeks if not months, so this is a welcome solution. Thank you Russell.
