MultiBox (Kick >2.04 only!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) 1992 by Michael Watzl
freely distributable
This little program is freeware, you can copy it as long as you don't make any
profit.
I often use neat tools like "Requester" (from Stefan Sticht, AmigaLibDisk 497)
or others. But sometimes you have to click more than one gadget at one time
e.g. if you want to ask for some options in a script. And this is exactly what
multibox does:
You can select multiple choices and then click OK (or press RETURN). Multibox
then returns a value indicating which option has been set and which not.
Syntax:
multibox [HAIL hailstring] TITLE titlestring BOXES Box1|Box2...
hailstring optional
titlestring contains the question for the user
Box1, Box2,... strings for the CHECKBOX gadgets
look in the example scripts!
A gadget can be made checked by default, if you add a '_' to the string
(e.g. ... BOXES FFS|NOICONS_ ).
Structure of the return code:
EXAMPLE
CHECKBOX-Nr. "CHECKSTATUS" VALUE
1 ON 1 * 2^0
2 OFF 0 * 2^1
3 ON 1 * 2^2
4 ON 1 * 2^3
-----------------------------------------------
RETURN CODE: 15
YOU MUST SET THE FAILAT VALUE TO 65537 BEFORE; OR YOUR SCRIPT MAY BREAK!
Beware: If you press cancel, the RC will be 65536!
Look into the example scripts how to decode this from within a scrtipt.
That's all
