IRuleUIBuilder with builder.AddSelectorCustom using C#

Anonymous — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 03:54:13 GMT

to whom it may concern,

When creating my custom connection dialog, I would need to include an AddSelectorCustom.

What kind of TableName (with or without dbo.) is it asking and what format should it have?

I tried now dozends of variations as I haven't found anything in the docs nor references.

Anybody had a play with this before?

public void GetRulePages(IRuleUIBuilder builder)
{
builder.SheetPromptId = 123456; // See AstorControlStructure >>> ErrorMessages
builder.FirstPageBitmapIdx = 123456;

int pageSelect = builder.BuildRulePage(123456, -1, 123456);
string TableName = "MyCustomTable";
builder.AddSelectorCustom(pageSelect, "1st Value", "FirstValue", TableName);
builder.AddSelectorCustom(pageSelect, "2nd Value", "SecondValue", TableName);

Mega thanks for any help in advance,

Merry Christmas,

Warm Regards,

Florian

Hi,

In the Advance Steel SDK, there is a “Samples” folder, inside there is a project called “ASNetJoints” and in that project there is one test / sample .NET joint called “BridgeGirder”.

There you find

builder.AddSelectorCustom(nId, "_stiffenerIsPerpendicularOnXAxis", "_stiffenerIsPerpendicularOnXAxis", typeof(int), new string[] { "vertical", "perpendicular" });

HTH,

Hi Christian,

always good to hear from the Jedi himself.
I have seen the example, yeap, I could use this as a temporary work around.
It would be the upper option of:
void AddSelectorCustom(int nPageId, string label, string propertyName, Type propertyType, IEnumerable items);
but not:
void AddSelectorCustom(int nPageId, string label, string propertyName, string TableName);
I was after the string TableName so that the client can adjust options and favorites afterwards, still, theoretically.
Do we know who programmed this option?

Merry Christmas,
Cheers,

Florian
