Is there a vidget guru out there with about 10
minutes to spare me. I'm trying to create a simple graphical interface
for an Icon program and reading and rereading the docs is not getting me
where I want to be. I have a feeling I need to understand couplers
better.
Here's what I want to do: imagine a frame with three vidgets: two
buttons (call them "A" and "B" and one text box. What I want to do is
click on a button and have the appropriate text (say, "A" or "B") appear
in the text box. I'd like this to be cumulative so that later click are
concatenated with whatever was in the text box previously. I'm sure this
is ridiculously simple and I'm sorry about being thick.
While I'm at it, what about setting toggle vidgets based on the contents
of a file:
suppose I have 3 toggles (1, 2 and 3) and some file with a single line
that has 3 integers (boolean, 0 or 1). So I open the file and its one
line reads: 010
I'd like to have toggle 2 set to on and 1 and 3 set to off. (I know
ICON's values are 1 and &null in these cases).
Can this be done.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
