XML Dialog, <option> not correctly working on MacOS

[Shardik]

Try this code on both Windows and MacOS. On Windows it works fine, on MacOS it is not usable:

I can confirm the bug on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard): "Option 2" and "Option 3" are not selectable although "Option 1" is deselected (but the focus ring still remains around the circle of "Option 1" !).

But please take a look into my following workaround which works without problems on Windows 7 SP1 x64 with PB 5.22 x86 and x64 and on MacOS X 10.6.8 with PB 5.22 x86 and x64. I have added SetActiveGadget() for OptionGadgets 2 and 3 and always even a 3rd SetGadgetState(OptionGadget, 1) for the modified OptionGadget. For OptionGadget "opt2" it's further absolutely necessary to use the SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt2"), 1) as the last of the SetGadgetState() commands because otherwise the OptionGadget on MacOS will be selected with a focus ring but the dot in the circle will be missing...

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Unicode
  #XmlEncoding = #PB_UTF8
CompilerElse
  #XmlEncoding = #PB_Ascii
CompilerEndIf

#Dialog = 0
#Xml = 0

XML$ = "<window id='#PB_Any' name='test' text='Gridbox' minwidth='auto' minheight='auto' flags='#PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget'>" +
       "    <gridbox columns='1'>" +
       "          <option name='opt1' text='Option 1' />" +
       "          <string name='strTest' minwidth='450' />" +
       "          <option name='opt2' text='Option 2' />" +
       "          <option name='opt3' text='Option 3' />" +
       "    </gridbox>" +
       "  </window>"

If CatchXML(#Xml, @XML$, StringByteLength(XML$), 0, #XmlEncoding) And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
 
  If CreateDialog(#Dialog) And OpenXMLDialog(#Dialog, #Xml, "test")
   
    SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt1"), 1); select opt1 by default
    SetActiveGadget(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "strTest"))
   
    Repeat
      Event = WaitWindowEvent()
      EventType = EventType()
      If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget
        Gadget = EventGadget()

        ;{ Handle Option Group because PB does not...
        Select Gadget
          Case DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt1")
            DisableGadget(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "strTest"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt1"), 1)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt2"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt3"), 0)
            SetActiveGadget(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "strTest"))
          Case DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt2")
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt1"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt3"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt2"), 1)
            SetActiveGadget(Gadget)
          Case DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt3")
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt1"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt2"), 0)
            SetGadgetState(DialogGadget(#Dialog, "opt3"), 1)
            SetActiveGadget(Gadget)
        EndSelect
        ;}
      EndIf
    Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
   
  Else
    Debug "Dialog error: " + DialogError(#Dialog)
  EndIf
Else
  Debug "XML error: " + XMLError(#Xml) + " (Line: " + XMLErrorLine(#Xml) + ")"
EndIf

Hello Shardik,

thank you. Indeed, setting the status of the selected option to 1 is the key (must be done at last).

I'm still waiting for a grouping option in XML dialog feature because the option elements are not easy to use. Fred already confirmed that this is needed, but he did not add it until now

Thanks,

Kukulkan
