List box item value to set up loop

[bruciori]

8 hours passed already since I tried to set this thing up... No result [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Guys, could you please share your wisdom with me?

Here's the thing:

I set up a basic list box object with items like:

1::1
2::2
10::10
etc::etc

Those listbox items/values on selection act like "set up %counter% value" to do some macro stuff (if set to 10 - then loop 10 times, etc). Then I have a button which starts the loop thing based on %counter% value on mouse click: first it sets %loop%=0 and then while %loop%<%counter% it does macro and evaluates %loop%+1 to make %loop%=%counter% (end while)... But it provides infinite loop... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I tried "<>" and "!=" - all the same [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I want to know where's my mistake... Also I would like to know how to zero %loop% value when %counter%=%loop% (ie macro completed).

Re: List box item value to set up loop

It sounds like your %counter% variable isn't getting set properly. To debug things, try using a Message box dialog before the If statement and have it show the value of %counter% so you can tell whether it is being set properly.

As for setting the %counter% value to the selected item in the listbox try something like this:

%SelectedIndex% = ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetSelected
IF (%SelectedIndex% != -1)
%counter% = ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetItemData (%SelectedIndex%)
%loop% = "0"
WHILE (%loop% < %counter%)
// Do your Macro stuff here
%loop% = Evaluate (%loop% + 1)
END WHILE
ELSE
%Result% = Dialog.MessageBox ("Item not Selected", "Please select an item in the l...", Ok, Question)
END IF

Here is an action list that you can copy and paste into a text object that demonstrates how to perform a while loop:

Thank you guys! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Besides I messed up with the operations order a bit [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
