[HC3] QA options in select

[Kage 37]

Hi,

 

i saw the new select in th QA and in the options you can set the name and its value

how can i know the value from the select bar.

 

thx

 I think the name to the left and value are locked toghter and the value is used to refer to that selection. corect me if I am wrong!  

I got this somewhere on the forum to get to know how it works: 

 

function QuickApp:myDropdownHandler(args, ON)

  self:debug("My selected item is: " .. args["values"][1])

if (args["values"][1] == "ON") then

self:debug("ON!!")

 

elseif (args["values"][1] == "OFF") then

self:debug("OFF!!")

 

else

self:debug("error!!")

end

end

 

Hope it helps It helped me to understand how it works

Works great when pressed. Then you get values. But is there a way to get standard de values of de select option you pick lick variables in the tab infront of the QA.

self:getValiable("var")

 

i want to set lightvalues that comes from the option.

 

thx

You want to map select options to your quickAppVariables?  I'm not sure I understand your question - can you elaborate a bit?

So you want to read the selected value without the user having selected (when you get a callback with args[]) ?

No, there seems to be no way to get the selected item like that.

I recommend that when the QA starts it sets the initial select value and also stores it in a quickAppVariable or global variable.

Then whenever the user selects something you update the stored value.

This way you can anytime read the current selected item.
