Popasl class

The Popasl class is used to create an object made of a string object and a button. When the button is pressed, an asl.library requester is shown. The string contents is set to the selection made in the requester.

Note that a Popasl object has no attribute to specify a key to open its requester. It may be specified via Window class InputEvent attribute, e.g. call Notify("win","InputEvent","ralt f","pop","Open")

 

ATTRIBUTES
Name Type Class Note
Active B GN  
NegativeText S I  
NotifyOnlyChanges S I Normally, the String object would notify NewContenyts anytime its Contents changes. This may be changed via AlwaysNotifyNC, but when a String object is used as String in a Popasl, it notifies its NewContents anytime it changes by default (AlwaysNotifyNC=1). Setting this attribute to 0 sets AlwaysNotifyNC of the String object to 1. Setting this attribute to 1 sets AlwaysNotifyNC of the String object to 0.

If the the macro fails or returns 1, the entry is showed, otherwise the entry is not showed. The macro must be an ARexx-in-line-string-macro designed to be fast.
