hiCreateAppForm() callback to print field value

ajayghoshmv

Hi

I created a Form with stringFileds and corresponding ButtonFields.

I need The stringField value to be printed to a file when corresponding ButtonField is clicked.

stringF1   ButtonF1

stringF2   ButtonF2

stringF3   ButtonF3

...

...

stringFN   ButtonFN

I get below error. Could you please  help with solution or suggest alternate method ?

*Error* funcall: argument #1 should be a function object or name (type template = "ug") - nil

If my understanding is correct, the error is because I am trying to assign filed handle to a variable [ d1 here in my code].

 

excerpt from my code;

hiCreateButton(
?name 'ButtonFN
?buttonText "Submit"
?callback 'Sclose
)

procedure(Sclose(field form "og")

n2=atoi(car(parseString(artMakeString(field) "ButtonF")))   

d1=concat("stringF" artMakeString(n2))

toFile=outfile("report.txt")

fprintf(toFile "%s\n" form->d1->value)

close(toFile)

);procedure

Thanks

    Hi Ajay,

    Which IC subversion are you using? (i.e. what does getVersion(t) return)? For me this worked, although the Sclose function didn't fully work mainly because form->d1->value won't work as d1 needs to be evaluated, but I changed it as follows:

    hiCreateAppForm(
  ?name 'forumForm
  ?fields list(
    hiCreateStringField(
      ?name 'stringF1
      ?value "testing"
    )
    hiCreateButton(
      ?name 'ButtonF1
      ?buttonText "Submit"
      ?callback 'Sclose
    )
)
)

procedure(Sclose(field form "og")
  let((n2 d1 toFile)
    ; use symbolToString rather than an ADE-specific function
    n2=atoi(car(parseString(symbolToString(field->hiFieldSym) "ButtonF")))   
    d1=concat("stringF" n2)
    toFile=outfile("report.txt")
    ; can't use form->d1->value because you need d1 to be evaluated
    fprintf(toFile "%s\n" get(form d1)->value)
    close(toFile)
  )
);procedure

hiDisplayForm(forumForm)

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    I am using  "sub-version  ICADV12.3-64b.500.22 ".

    As suggested replaced "form->d1->value " with get(form d1)->value. This worked perfectly fine for me. Thanks again.

    Regards,

    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,

    Not sure why it would have been failing with the funcall error earlier because using form->d1->value wouldn't have caused that (it gave a different error), but glad it's resolved now!

    Andrew.
