Forums Bug Reports $did($did).seltext

Using $did($did).seltext in a script which worked fine in 6.03 through 6.14 no longer works in 6.15. I have rolled back to 6.14 to verify it was working (does) then went back to 6.15 and it doesn't work in the same unmodified script. This identifier is obviously being used in a dialog event which is upon a sclick of a drop down combo box. If I use $did($did,$did($did).sel) I get the desired result but would like to be able to not have to modify the various points in the script which use $did($did).seltext

working fine here...

Here is a snip from the event:

if ($did == 70) || ($did == 75) {
set %x.bots.cnt 5
set %x.bots.get.settings 1
echo 3 -s seltext $did($did,$did($did).sel) $did $did($did).sel $did($did).seltext
botmsg set-s settings-s $replace($did,70,c,75,a) $did($did).seltext
did -ev X-Bots $replace($replace($did,70,80 69,75,41 74),$chr(32),$chr(44))
did -h X-Bots $replace($replace($did,70,93 94,75,95 96),$chr(32),$chr(44))
return
}

The $did($did).seltext in 6.14 is getting a value in this situation. In 6.15 its not. Again the event is a sclick and the dialog object here is a drop down combo box the $did($did).seltext returns the selected item in the drop down box in 6.14 but doesn't seem to in 6.15. I have tested it going back to 6.14 and 6.15 mahy times and placing different identifiers in the echo command to see what has value and what does not and in 6.15 $did($did).seltext just does not have a value.

In fact $did($did) does not work either but both $did(dialogname,$did).seltext and $did(dialogname,$did) work if done in a //echo from an edit box. I even tried using $did($dname,$did) and $did($dname,$did).seltext in the dialog event itself but in this instance (with 6.15) there is no value when there is a value in mIRC 6.14. $did($did).sel however works in the script and returns the appropriate line number slected in the combo box.

Confirmed. $did().seltext for a combo doesn't work when called from within the sclick event of that combo. It works outside of it though:Type /dialog -m combobug combobug and click on an item.

The workaround for the moment is easy though. $did().sel works fine, so one can use $did(dialog,id,$did(dialog,id).sel) instead of $did(dialog,id).seltext

Yea, working around it is easy enough but I am afraid that maybe some other $did type things aren't functioning properly as of this version. Thanks though

This has been fixed for the next version.

thsi is difrent if you drop the combo
combo 1, 11 9 96 129,drop
on *:dialog:combobug:sclick:1:{ echo -s $did(1).sel $did(1).seltext }

of course ther is still a bug if you add edit to the combo
combo 1, 11 9 96 129,drop,edit

In mIRC 6.16 the $did().seltext/text bug has been fixed.
