switchToDialog

Question

commented 1 day ago by GJFaber

On the left top screen, I have 5 pushButtons and I want to connect them to 5 different screen elements ( DetectorScreen, DataScreen, VideoScreen, MapScreen, and GUSSScreen). In my slot method (Slot Application::Application.ShowScreen) I have coded two different screens element to be selected to go in the blank space within the black Beveled border.

var Core::Group screen;

if ( sender == PushButtonDetector )
  screen = new Application::Detector;
else
  screen = new Application::Data;

SwitchToDialog( screen, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, false );

But I need three more different screens element and I can't figure out how to code them. I have tried numerous ways but come up with an errors. 

I got this code from the Master Mondays Class video called Mosaic Framework and the time in the video is 1:39:50 SwitchToDialog.

 

These next two screenshots are the Prototyper active with the DetectorDialog and DataDialog. 

I also need coded VideoDialog, MapDialog, and GNSSDialog to come up in the same spot.

Can you please help me thanks mate?

Hello GJFaber,

the simplest (if I understood the problem correctly) would be to enhance the if-else condition to something similar to:

var Core::Group screen;

if ( sender == PushButtonDetector )
  screen = new Application::Detector;

else if ( sender == PushButtonData )
  screen = new Application::Data;

else if ( sender == PushButtonVideoDialog )
  screen = new Application::Video;

else if ( sender == PushButtonMapDialog )
  screen = new Application::Data;

else if ( sender == PushButtonGNSSDialog )
  screen = new Application::Data;

SwitchToDialog( screen, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, false );

Does it answer your question?
