[MacRuby-devel] Checkbox state

[Marinus van der Lugt]

Thanks John,

Yes the simple example works OK.
My controller looks like this:


class DisclaimerController < NSWindowController

    attr_accessor :showAgain

    def exitButtonAction(sender)
       NSLog("Disclaimer Window: exit button clicked")
    end

    def startButtonAction(sender)
       NSLog("Disclaimer Window: start button clicked")
    end

    def toggleShowAgainAction(sender)
       NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle checkbox clicked")
       p @showAgain.state
       p @showAgain.title
       active = (@showAgain.state == NSOnState)
       if (active) then
          NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Selected")
       else
          NSLog("Disclaimer Window: toggle switched to Unselected")
       end
    end

end


And the output looks like this:


2009-07-08 18:47:08.324 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer NIB loaded
2009-07-08 18:47:10.658 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle  
checkbox clicked
0
"Do not show this warning again."
2009-07-08 18:47:10.659 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle  
switched to Unselected
2009-07-08 18:47:11.570 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle  
checkbox clicked
0
"Do not show this warning again."
2009-07-08 18:47:11.571 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle  
switched to Unselected
2009-07-08 18:47:12.690 xxxx[610:10b] Disclaimer Window: toggle  
checkbox clicked


As you can see the "toggleShowAgainAction" is activated, and the  
checkbox is linked to "showAgain".
PS: The checkbox has the title "Do not show this warning again."

(Sometimes I wish I had chosen a different profession, VBG!)

Rien.
