Enums's index of an inputbox return

[shirazbj]

hi,

I was wondering if I could get the index of an enums selection directly.

In my example below, I want to choose between "2D" & "3D" for one variable. The return is either "2D" or "3D". But I want the index number instead, that is "0" for "2D", "1" for "3D".

How could I get the "0" or "1" if I don't compare the return with the list of the enums.

Thanks in advance

def hw_inputbox
	
  iaxi=1	
  t_iaxi = ["2D","3D"]
  enums = [t_iaxi.join("|")]
  values = [t_iaxi[iaxi]]
  prompts = ["Geo type; "]
  results = inputbox prompts, values, enums, "my Geo"
  return nil if not results 
  $iaxi = results[0]
  your_slection=$iaxi
  UI.messagebox(your_slection)

end

UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("hw_inputbox") { hw_inputbox }

your_selection = t_iaxi.index( results[0] )

By the way Cean.. have you downloaded the CHM Reference for Standard Ruby 1.8.6 ??
