Create Nested Toggle (Check) Boxes

gs748

Hello,

I am new to SKILL and would like to take your inputs on the below scenario.
I am creating a App form with Toggle (Check) Boxes for few lines in a file which are as below:

 <file lout >
Numbers
1,2,3,4,5
6,7,8,9,10
11,12,13,14,15

Characters
a,b,c,d,e
e,f,g,h,i
j,k,l,m,n

Letters
ab,cd,ef,gh,ij
kl,mn,op,qr,st


I read each line from file lout and create a Check Box for each line but if the user selects “Numbers” or “Characters” then all lines below “Numbers” or “Characters” must be checked until an empty line is read.
I have the below code which errors out with below message:

----------------------
*Error* hiCreateToggleField: each toggle item must be a list of at least it's unquoted symbol representation
*Error* load: error while loading file - "te.il"
---------------------

 Can you please help me with the error check on this code as I am not familiar with most SKILL functions . Thanks in advance.

CODE

procedure(readcsv(ln)
 cline=ln
 tline = substring(cline 1 strlen(cline)-1)
 pline=parseString(tline ",")
  i=length(pline)
;  printf("Length is %d\n" i)
   item8 = nth(i-1 pline)
   item7 = nth(i-2 pline)
   item6 = nth(i-3 pline)
   item5 = nth(i-4 pline)
   item4 = nth(i-5 pline)
;printf("ITEM'S 1-8:\n %L\n %L\n %L\n %L\n %L\n %L\n %L\n %L\n" item1 item2 item3 item4 item5 item6 item7 item8)
lista = list(item4 item5 item6 item7 item8)
printf("LIST ITEM'S:%L\n" lista)
lista
);end proc readcsv


port=infile("lout")
listN='()
listM='()
listNew='()
count =0
when(port
   while(gets(ln port)
        listb=readcsv(ln)
        listM = cons(listb listM)
        ;printf("ListM:%L\n" listM)
    );end while
   );end when
 close(port)

; Create Check Box

mytoggle = hiCreateToggleField(
 ?name ’toppings
 ?prompt "Toppings"
 ?choices listM
 ;?value ’( nil)
 ;?numSelect 1 )
)
hiCreateAppForm( ?name ’iceCreamForm
 ?formTitle "Ice Cream"
 ?callback "buildIceCreamCone()"
 ?fields list( mytoggle )
 ?help "cream" )
status = hiDisplayForm( iceCreamForm )

    This isn't going to work, because hiCreateToggleList doesn't do all of that for you. The structure you're passing to hiCreateToggleList is wrong (please read the manual, which makes it pretty clear that it's expecting a list of lists, where each list is a symbol and a string (the prompt), or just a symbol).

    Hi Andrew, 

    Thank you for your response.  My scenario is a bit different here. I have a script which creates a tree structure. I want to add check box buttons to root of each  tree structure. Below is the script which creates a tree structure:  I would like to know if I can modify the below script to add check boxes to tree structure: Ex: I want to add checkboxes to Maths and Physics, and also for A Book, B Book, C Book and E Book. Whenever I check Maths checkbox it should check all the contents of Maths i.e. A Book and B Book.  Also, When I select Maths, I would like to unselect either A or B Book.:

    ; create a root tree
    maintree=hiCreateTree('index)
     
    ; create two tree items and append them to the root tree
    dow=hiCreateTreeItem('dow list("Maths"))
    nas=hiCreateTreeItem('nas list("Physics"))
     
    hiTreeAppendItem(maintree dow)
    hiTreeAppendItem(maintree nas)
     
    ; create two sub-trees
    dowTree=hiCreateTree('dows)
    nasTree=hiCreateTree('nass)
     
    ; put the two sub-trees into the two items created earlier
    hiItemInsertTree(dow dowTree)
    hiItemInsertTree(nas nasTree)
     
    ; add a few leaves for the dowTree and nasTree
    hiTreeAppendItem(dowTree hiCreateTreeItem('acom list("A Book" 80.5 1 "Good   Buy")))
    hiTreeAppendItem(dowTree hiCreateTreeItem('bcom list("B Book" 118 3 "Better")))
    hiTreeAppendItem(nasTree hiCreateTreeItem('ccom list("C Book" 27.750 4   "Better ")))
    hiTreeAppendItem(nasTree hiCreateTreeItem('dcom list("E Book" 28.925 5 "Best   Sell")))
     
    procedure( expandCB(name item)
        println("expanded")
        println(name)   
        println(item))
     
    procedure( collapseCB(name item)
         println("collapsed")
         println(name)
         println(item))
    ; create tree table and use maintree as the value for ?choice
    treeField = hiCreateTreeTable(
           ?name 'treeField         
           ?title "Books"        
           ?titleAlignment 'center    
           ?headers list(list("Name"  125    'left    'string)    
                list("Price"    60       'left    'float3)  
                list("Rating"       45      'center  'int)   
                list("Recommendation"  125      'right)    )    
                ?choice maintree    
               ?callback "treeCB"
                ;?expandCallback "expandCB"
                ;?collapseCallback  "collapseCB"          
                )
    ; create a form
    form = hiCreateAppForm(
           ?name 'form    
           ?formTitle "A Tree Book"  
           ?fields list(  list(treeField 5:5 400:200 55) )       
           ?initialSize 500:250)
