Thank you Michael

Hi Pilou,

> Some stay empty!
> I don't believe i had made some type errors ???

There's a few things - it would be good to have a close tag on the <moi:Text> elements, that could be either <moi:Text textid=""></moi:Text> or a shortcut way is <moi:Text textid=""/>

Also since the <moi:Text> element will have text inserted inside it, you don't want additional text in there next to it, it probably happened to work because with the missing close tag your extra text was a child of the <moi:Text> and got replaced when it inserted its looked-up text content.

Last thing is the textid="" attribute must exactly match a name in the Strings.txt file including upper/lower case. So for example you have textid="PolyLine" but the name of that entry in the strings.txt files is actually Polyline= . Because you have different capitalization it won't find it.

So for polyline you would want this:

<td><moi:CommandButton icon="icons/PolylineIcon.png" command="polyline"><moi:Text textid="Polyline"/></moi:CommandButton></td>

Hi Pilou,

Your modifications do not quite follow Michael's posts. You have incorporated the French names, in addition to the English names.

Delete your French names, and the resulting names are looked up.
If your language is set to French, (in options tab), the French names appear.
With language set to English, English names appear.

- Brian

I've changed a few, so am not done...:-)
Will see if any more problems appear.
I see Michael posted first. Yeah I'm missing Polyline. Also Freeform not FreeForm. :-)
It is Polygon, not Polygons...

I do not see Helix and Conic...

The plural of menu is menus, in English.
Looks like it is menues in French :-)

Thanks for the additional infos! I will see if that works better :)

@ Beam :it's Menus in French ;)
Menue is existing too but it adjective for woman (Menu for man, Menues for women, Menus for men) like slim, thin, mince

Much better! All is quasi perfect
except for the last four Arc, Ellipse Plane "Boxes" who stay in English like the French "Boîtes" ???

I think, you don't have to add names.
The id give wich label have to be seen, function of the langage.

 

En french...
Il ne faut pas mettre le titre de l'icone "en dur" dans le fichier, c'est l'ID qui indique au logiciel quelle titre il faut écrire et qui met le bon titre dans la bonne langue en fonction du paramètre de langue.

Comme c'est écrit dans l'exemple...
<moi:CommandButton icon="moi://ui/icons/LineIcon.png" command="line"><moi:Text textid="Line"></moi:CommandButton>

Le texte du textid=Line sera Line en anglais et Ligne en français et c'est le logiciel qui le placera automatiquement en fonction du paramètre de langage.

Hi Pilou, the bold text you show above there should be removed, it will be extra in addition to the <moi:Text> that is right next to it.

For those <moi:Text> that are not working, look in EnglishStrings.txt and do a search for the textid value that you are using.

For textid="Ellipses", if you search in EnglishStrings.txt you won't find any line for Ellipses=, but there is one for Ellipse without ending "s".

Same for Planes (should be "Plane") and Boxes (use "Box").

- Michael

Or that must say that i can also add some words in the English txt ?
Not too orthodox but...
Seem that works :)

Now I must make the rest! :)


That was a nightmare for me! :)



PS Remark that the French UI is smaller than the English one : that is a task :)

Two of the Box entry methods are missing. Likewise Conic, Helix ...

Do users like this floating menu?

- Brian

Yes it's very useful when you have many monitors
and when you have only one screen
that reduce the Mouse's way for click a function!

Hi Michael

Can you help me design a script:? I can press the shortcut key to open shortcut menu and press it again to close shortcut menu.Thanks！


script: /* Opens SidePane1 */ moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://ui/SidePane1.htm' );

Hi hl,

re:
> Can you help me design a script:? I can press the shortcut key to open shortcut menu and

In MoI v4 it is possible to implement OnKeyDownEvent() and OnKeyUpEvent() script functions on a dialog and when the dialog has focus MoI will look for those and call them. Those can override regular shortcut key handling.

It's used also by the new shortcut key definition dialog "ShortcutKeyDialog.htm" and there are comments in that file about how it works.

- Michael

Hi hl,

re:
> Can you help me design a script:? I can press the shortcut key to open shortcut menu and press it again to close shortcut menu.Thanks！


Or another method that could work would be to store the dialog object that is returned from moi.ui.createDialog() in a centralized place so it can check if it has been set on a previous script run. When the dialog closes some additional script in the dialog box page can clear that value.

So to do that, inside SidePane1.htm modify the <body> tag to have an onunload="" handler like this:

<body class="SidePaneBody" onunload="moi.command.setOption( 'SidePane1_dlg', null );">

That will handle clearing out the value when the dialog box has been closed.

Then the shortcut could be set up like this:


script: var dlg = null; try { dlg = moi.command.getOption( 'SidePane1_dlg' ); } catch(e){} if ( dlg != null ) { dlg.window.close(); } else { dlg = moi.ui.createDialog( 'SidePane1.htm' ); moi.command.setOption( 'SidePane1_dlg', dlg ); }

Hi hl,

re:
> Can you help me design a script:? I can press the shortcut key to open shortcut menu and
> press it again to close shortcut menu.Thanks！

Actually here's a simpler way that doesn't need any variables to be stored and doesn't need any onunload="" handler in the dialog either:

script: var panel = null; try { panel = moi.ui.getUIPanel( 'moi://ui/SidePane1.htm' ); } catch(e){} if ( panel ) { panel.moiWindow.close(); } else { moi.ui.createDialog( 'SidePane1.htm' ); }

- Michael

EDIT: updated to work on both v3 and v4.

New shortcut key works well in MoI4beta. (I used Ctrl+Alt+S for the shortcut key.)

Now just need someone to make a super deluxe SidePane1.htm.

Did not work in MoI3. (?)

- Brian

Hi Brian, yeah it looks like the behavior of v3 is slightly different than v4 when the UI panel is not found, v3 throws an exception. I've updated the script above to account for that and so it should now work on both v3 and v4.

- Michael

hi Michael：

script: var panel = null; try { panel = moi.ui.getUIPanel( 'moi://ui/SidePane1.htm' ); } catch(e){} if ( panel ) { panel.moiWindow.close(); } else { moi.ui.createDialog( 'SidePane1.htm' ); }

The result is right

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello hl and Michael!

Thanks for the idea with Side.Pane1, I find it very interesting.
But I misused it a little bit for personalization.
I didn't repeat the commands already included in Side.Pane, except for those that need to be unfolded, but not for command.set commands, where there are several options in Side.Pane.
I have, however, added some scripts I need more often, such as dimensioning etc. with self-created icons.
Now it would be a nice addition to the help to be able to insert a short self-designed description of the function by pressing the "F1" key.
I have already succeeded in doing this in part, but unfortunately I do not know how to get the required html command extension for some script commands,
such as #line or my experiment #Test, so that it is automatically inserted when I press the "F1" key.
I hope to have expressed myself clearly (translator).
Maybe my pictures can explain this better afterwards.

Can anyone please help me?

It's always a pleasure to work with moi.

Health for all
best wishes from Austria
Franz

Hi Franz, well when you push F1 MoI opens up the MoI help file in your web browser.

The help file is made up of HTML files that are inside the "docs" subfolder inside of MoI's install.

To have your custom content show up like that you would need to edit the help files and insert your new content in it. But things are not really set up with that use in mind so it will probably not be very easy to do that.

- Michael

Hi Michael!

Thanks for the feedback.
My problem is not the insertion of the icons, screenshots or text in "moi_command_reference.html", but that when I press the key the file extension #xxxx necessary for the search is not given, as it is the case when searching for
"file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/MoI%203.0/docs/moi_command_reference.htm#constructionline".

For example, when searching for help (F1) "Cplane" I only get the url
"file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/MoI%203.0/docs/moi_help.htm",
and so I have to scroll to "Command Reference" after that myself.

For me it would be interesting for instance, how it comes that:
"file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/MoI%203.0/docs/moi_command_reference.htm#constructionline"
.... or how it can be produced.
The most scripts from Max Smirnov the url is output correctly, for example, and than the search is possible.

For better understanding again a few pictures:
Thanks for a reply.
