populate edit box based on selection

[marlance]

How to populate edit box based on selection in the list box?
For example,
if 1 and A is selected, edit box must contain 1-A,
if 1 and B is selected, edit box must contain 1-B,
and so on.

Maybe THIS Lee Mac's page will help you.

Are you talking about multiple_select=true from one list box or selections from two list boxes? I haven't looked at the file you posted.

You have all the ingredients written to do this.

I'll give you a hint (untested):
(action_tile "list_A" "(populateEditBox)")

where
(defun populateEditBox ()
(set_tile "list_B"
(strcat (nth (atoi (get_tile list_num)) list_num) "-" (nth (atoi (get_tile list_A)) list_A))
)
);end PopulateEditBox

I would suggest adding
(set_tile "list_num" "0")
(set_tile "list_A" "0")
after populating each list box in the initialization section of your code (and in the
subroutine as well).

Hi scot,

It followed your instruction but I doesn't show up anything on the edit box

Can you temporary cancel out one line and add "(alert" to see
if the string is being properly built?

;;(set_tile "list_B"
(alert
(strcat (nth (atoi (get_tile list_num)) list_num) "-" (nth (atoi (get_tile list_A)) list_A))
)

Secondly, does each list box have at least one highlighted line?
