Changing between objects using FOR-END FOR 1

[govindalopez]

Hi,

Can anyone please help me on this. I want to place a value in the text property of a single line edit. The thing is that I have 10 single line edit's and I want to take the values from an array.

Basically what I need is something like this:

FOR x = 1 TO 10
sle_option(x).text = ls_array[x]
END FOR

The sle_option is a single line edit and the ls_array[] is a local string array.

When I try using this example I get a sintax error. Can anyone please help?

By the way I can´t use an IF or a CHOOSE CASE for this. Only a FOR or any other way to change between objects to insert in their text property a value.

Thanks.

The simplest way I've found for referencing objects is to create a window function...

wf_sle( Long al_sle ) Returns SingleLineEdit

//this example uses 3 single line edits...

SingleLineEdit sle_ref

CHOOSE CASE al_sle
CASE 1
sle_ref = sle_option_1
CASE 2
sle_ref = sle_option_2
CASE 3
sle_ref = sle_option_3
END CHOOSE

RETURN sle_ref


At that point, you can replace the sle_option(x) in your posted code with wf_sle(x).

Another option would be to load the single line edits into a variable... That's the only way I know of that you will be able to reference them in an array.

/*sample code*/
SingleLineEdit sle_option[]

sle_option[1] = sle_option_1
sle_option[2] = sle_option_2
sle_option[3] = sle_option_3

Thanks for your answer. I found another way, yet similar to yours, to do it.

SingleLineEdit sle_box[]
INTEGER li_x = 0

FOR li_x = 1 TO 5
sle_box[li_x] = CREATE SingleLineEdit
sle_box[li_x].width = 180
sle_box[li_x].height = 60
sle_box[li_x].text = string(ii_variable[li_x])
w_example.OpenUserObject(sle_box[li_x], 200* li_x, 200)
END FOR

Or something like that. I put the example here so that if anyone has the same question they can see it right here. Thanks again for your answer.
