dialog box again

Hello,

In my macro, I've just tried :

Dialog.addChoice("Scanning mode",newArray("12", "4", "line")); scanmode=Dialog.getNextChoiceIndex();

IJ gives an error message saying that this is not a recognized Dialog function.

scanmode=getNextChoiceIndex();

IJ gives an error message saying that this is an undefined identifier.

These error messages are because I use them in a macro I guess

Is there any other possibilities to get this numerical values instead of strings in my macro ?

Many thanks,

Hello France,

You can use *getNextChoiceIndex*() that will return the number in your list, starting at 0 I think.

Oups, my mistake, I thought it was a plugin :-[
you can use something like this :
scanmode=Dialog.getChoice();
i=0;
while(tab[i]!=scanmode) i++;
print("i="+i); // your number

oups, you also need to create an array :

tab=newArray("12", "4", "line");
Dialog.addChoice("Scanning mode",tab);

Hi Girault,

The error message is indeed due to the fact that ImageJ macro language
knows no such function as "getNextChoiceIndex"

An overview of the macro functions can be found at:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html

The getNextChoice() method is part of the class ij.gui.GenericDialog.
You can use these methods in plugins (which are java code, unlike the
higher level macro language)

It is possible that you need to write a plugin instead of a macro (see
the tutorial by Werner Bailer to get you started on plug-ins). First you
could browse the functions that are available in the macro language and
see if there's a function there that will do what you want. That is
unless someone on the list could point out there is one/none.

Greetings,
Edwin
