If Toolbar is true make it false

Assuming you have wrapped your code in a module, use an instance variable: @compressed.

I seem to be getting errors am I doing this right:

@compress = "no"

# EXPLODE TOOL
     model=Sketchup.active_model
     cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){
 result = UI.messagebox "This will Compress your Climbing Frame meaning you cannot edit past this point!\n\n Would you like to continue?\n\nNote; Only Do This Once Per Model", MB_YESNO
 if result == 6 # Yes
   model.entities.to_a.each{|e|e.explode if e.class==Sketchup;;Group or e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance}
   Morisdov.att_get
   @compress = "yes"
 end
     }
     cmd.small_icon = "finished.png"
     cmd.large_icon = "finished.png"
     cmd.tooltip = "Compress | Compress your Climbing Frame"
     cmd.status_bar_text = "Compressing your Climbing Frame"
     cmd.menu_text = "Compress"
     toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
     toolbar.show

# VIEW CART
     model=Sketchup.active_model
     cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){
	 if compress == "yes" {Morisdov.att_get}
	 if compress == "no" {UI.messagebox("Before Viewing Your Cart Make Sure You Have Compressed Your Climbing Frame\n\nNote; You Only Need to Compress Once")}
     }
     cmd.small_icon = "check.png"
     cmd.large_icon = "check.png"
     cmd.tooltip = "View Cart | View a List of Items Used"
     cmd.status_bar_text = "Loading Cart"
     cmd.menu_text = "View Cart"
     toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
     toolbar.show

Thanks for the help by the way guys, much appreciated

At some point you refer to compress when it should always be @compress

thomthom

And you are better of using true and false instead of strings "yes", "no" - strings are very slow. and "yes" and "no" both evaluates to true.

If you get errors then please post them. They help pinpoint specifically what is going on. "some error" is to vague to make any good guess.

I still seem to be getting this error:

You're thinking Jsvascript. Your If Else syntax is wrong.

Try
if test; action; end
OR
action if test

or

if test
   action
elsif another_test
   another_action
else ### anything else !
   yet_another_action
end

UI.toolbar_names

@unknownuser said:

The toolbar_names method is used to returns the name of all the available toolbars (this differs between PC and Mac).

> UI.toolbar_names ["Standard", "Principle", "Camera", "Drawing", "Edit", "Construction", "Walk", "DisplayMode", "StandardViews", "Section", "Google", "GettingStarted", "VCB"]

I dont suppose you know what the toolbar name would be for the large toolset do you?

Thanks,
Simon

I see, no worries hope they fix it soon. Thanks

Updated my previous post, to give send_action integers, and info on the DC ruby toolbar.

It does NOT have a string identifer that works with UI.toolbar_names or UI.set_toolbar_visible, etc.

This is a bug in the API; we have asked that it be fixed.

Misspelled argument: 'Principle' for the Principal toolbar.

The missing arguments: %(#000000)[**identifier]%(#F0F0F0)[____]%(#000000)[tb_ID]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[send_action int "LargeToolSet"]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[(211)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[23056 "Layers"]%(#F0F0F0)[_______]%(#000000)[(220)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[21132 "Shadows"]%(#F0F0F0)[______]%(#000000)[(103)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[10546**]

NOTE: %(#000000)[**"Dynamic Components"]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[(59648)]** is a ruby toolbar (not a native toolbar.)
You must use UI.toolbar('Dynamic Components') with the .visible?, .restore, .hide and .show methods.
