Retrieve a value from status bar input box
-
hi,
in this topic i found the basic code for retrieving an user input.http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=9828
but i don't know, which arguments are to be sent to the method
and which is the return value.i would like to implement a numerical input in form
value 1 , value 2, value 3 (where user puts in 1,5,2 with commas),
at the position in my code, where one face is selected
and the input controlls further operations.
i would liek to use the status bar input instead of the UI.messagebox.
thanx in advance for ideas!

its a text string, so do:
the_input_string.split(',') to get an array of values
-
Yes.
Assuming the input is 'valid' and that it is not triggering any Shortcuts...
You get"1,2,3"as the 'text'... so split it thus:
values=text.split(',')
which gives you:
["1", "2", "3"]
Then to get them as integers
x=values[0].to_i
and so on,
or perhaps.to_ffor floats etc... -

You have to make a 'class'.
SketchUp recognizes it as a 'Tool' from the way it is made into a command...
Special 'Tool' methods can be used in that class...Go to the Extension-Warehouse and find the Examples - the 'draw box' example shows how to set up a Tool...
