iLogic code to show on Forms multiple options within multiple option

federico.scalaJ3AKH — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 12:37:46 GMT

Hi everyone,

here's my situation:

Parameter "Material" (List): A, B, C or D.

Parameter "Thickness":

Mat A > Thk = 10

B > Thk = 15

C > Thk = 20

D > Thk = 9, 12 or 18

So, in iLogic I have this code for the material selection:

Get the selected option from the user parameter list
 Dim selectedOption As String = Parameter ("Mat")

Every time you pick a Material, a Thk is defined too, except for Material D.

When choosing D (and just in that case), I'd like in FORM to appear a Thk List so you can choose the option you need.

Is this possible?

Another option would be to have the Thk line all the time in FORM, but when choosing A, B or C, it should show the predefined Thk, just for information and when picking D, the list of options appears.

Thanks for your time and help. Regards

Hi @federico.scalaJ3AKH

Edit.

See this article here showing the method specifically for material and thickness value.

Use the set list function shown here in this help page

MultiValue.SetList(“Thickness”, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25)

For each material set the multivalue list

If Material = "C" Then
   MultiValue.SetList("Thickness", 20 )
ElseIf Material = "D" Then       
   MultiValue.SetList("Thickness", 9,12,18)
End If

Hi @federico.scalaJ3AKH ,

you can add Thk to a form and activate/deactivate it using a True/False parameter.
I created a True/False parameter ThkActivated and a rule:

MultiValue.SetValueOptions(True, DefaultIndex := 0)

Select Case Mat
	Case "A"
		MultiValue.SetList("Thk", 10 )
	Case "B"
		MultiValue.SetList("Thk", 15 )
	Case "C" :
	   MultiValue.SetList("Thk", 20 )
	Case "D": 
	   MultiValue.SetList("Thk", 9, 12, 18)
End Select

If MultiValue.List("Thk").Count > 1 Then
	ThkActivated = True
Else
	ThkActivated = False
End If

In the form added the parameter Mat and Thk.

For Thk I used ThkActivated as 'Enabling parameter name' (sorry for the german screenshot):

Now you can change Mat and Thk will be active or not:
