Forums Scripts & Popups Help appreciated - textbox question

Hi there scripters,

I'm having a bit of a boggle, not sure if this is do-able but I ask; I have this dialog with an output textbox and a preview textbox (which is read only), I was wondering - in the output textbox I want to have codes like "$lol(lol2) $+ yay" without actually turning out as the PreView textbox Should

For example,
Output textbox: Hi $nick $+ , 1 USD is $round(6.2312,1) NOK
Preview textbox: Hi Zer0, 1 USD is 6.2 NOK


If that made any sense, any help is appreciated very very much..

The "textboxes" that you are referring to, are called "Editboxes".

When entering text in an editbox, the contents are not evaluated, but treated as plain text. So referring to your first problem where you want to see:

Output textbox: Hi $nick $+ , 1 USD is $round(6.2312,1) NOK

that should already be like that.

Regarding the preview editbox, you should force evaluation on the text, before doing /did -a <dialog> <id> <yourtext>. Example: did -a dialog id $eval(yourtext,2)

That way it will put the evaluated text into the preview editbox. Note that identifiers such as $nick etc. have no value in a dialog, so they won't show up thus be blank. If you try with $me though, or $round, or any identifier which is not related to a certain event, they will be evaluated.
