Dialog Control table format
|
|
|
|
A Dialog Control table describes a single control in a configuration dialog,
|
|
which can display information to the user and allow them to change it.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of different classes of controls, and the keys a Dialog
|
|
Control table must contain depends on the control class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common keys for all control classes:
|
|
|
|
class (string)
|
|
Defines which class this control has. Must be one of:
|
|
"label",
|
|
"edit", "intedit", "floatedit", "textbox",
|
|
"dropdown",
|
|
"checkbox",
|
|
"color", "coloralpha", "alpha"
|
|
|
|
x (number)
|
|
y (number)
|
|
width (number)
|
|
height (number)
|
|
Determines the position and size of the control in the dialog. These values
|
|
are used to create a grid containing the controls. They should all be
|
|
integer. The top left corner is x,y=0,0.
|
|
If any of width and height are set to zero or less, it will be set to one
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keys defined for all classes except "label":
|
|
|
|
hint (string)
|
|
A string displayed to the user as tooltip, when hovering over the control.
|
|
|
|
name (string)
|
|
A name that uniquely identifies the control. This is recommended to be a
|
|
string easily used as an identifier in Lua, since it will be used to access
|
|
the value input into the control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keys defined only for "label" and "checkbox" classes:
|
|
|
|
label (string)
|
|
The text displayed to the user on the control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Key defined only for the "edit" and "textbox" classes:
|
|
|
|
text (string)
|
|
The contents of the control when the dialog is first displayed.
|
|
This can contain newlines if the control is of the "textbox" class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keys defined only for the "intedit" and "floatedit" classes:
|
|
|
|
value (number)
|
|
The value in the control when the dialog is first displayed. For the
|
|
"intedit" class, if this is a non-integer number it will be truncated.
|
|
|
|
min (number or nil)
|
|
max (number or nil)
|
|
If one of these are nil, the other must also be nil. (Ie. undefined.)
|
|
If both are present, the control gets a spin button, the user can click to
|
|
update the value of the control. The user won't be able to close the
|
|
dialog if the value is outside the range between "min" and "max".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keys defined only for the "dropdown" class:
|
|
|
|
items (table)
|
|
This is an Array Table containing only strings. They are used for the
|
|
options displayed to the user in the dropdown box.
|
|
All strings in the array table should be unique. (There is not way to
|
|
distinguish non-unique strings from each other.)
|
|
|
|
value (string)
|
|
Determines which item is selected when the dialog id first displayed. If
|
|
this is not one of the items specified, no item is selected. This is case-
|
|
sensitive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Key defined only for the "checkbox" class:
|
|
|
|
value (boolean)
|
|
Determines whether the checkbox is checked or not when the dialog is first
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keys defined only for the "color", "coloralpha" and "alpha" classes:
|
|
|
|
value (string)
|
|
A color value in VB or HTML hexadecimal format.
|
|
For the "color" class, this should be a 3 byte value, ie. "#RRGGBB".
|
|
For the "coloralpha" class, this should be a 4 byte value, ie. "#RRGGBBAA".
|
|
For the "alpha" class, this should be a one-byte value, ie. "#AA".
|

Dialog Definition table format
|
|
|
|
The Dialog Definition table is simply an Array Table of Dialog Control tables.
|
|
|
|
Note, however, that while the visual ordering of the controls are decided
|
|
entirely by the "x", "y", "width" and "height" of the controls, the
|
|
"tab order" of the controls is decided by their ordering in the Dialog
|
|
Definition table.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Dialog Result table format
|
|
|
|
A Dialog Result table contains the user input from a configuration dialog.
|
|
|
|
The control "name" properties are used as keys in this table.
|
|
|
|
The type of the value for each entry in the table depends on the class of the
|
|
control. The control classes map to types in the following manner:
|
|
|
|
"label"
|
|
None. Since the user cannot change a label, they do not produce any value.
|
|
|
|
"edit", "textbox"
|
|
String. The text input in the box. This can contain newlines in the case of
|
|
a "textbox" class control.
|
|
|
|
"intedit", "floatedit"
|
|
Number. The number input into the control, guaranteed to be within the
|
|
constraints set by the class (integer or float) and the min/max properties.
|
|
|
|
"dropdown"
|
|
String. The case-exact text of the selected item.
|
|
|
|
"checkbox",
|
|
Boolean. The checked-state of the checkbox.
|
|
|
|
"color", "coloralpha", "alpha"
|
|
String. A VB colorstring following the same scheme as for setting the
|
|
"value" property.

Display Configuration Dialog function
|
|
|
|
This function displays a configuration dialog to the user and waits for it to
|
|
close. It then returns whether the user accepted or cancelled the dialog, and
|
|
what values were input.
|
|
|
|
function aegisub.dialog.display(dialog, buttons)
|
|
|
|
@dialog (table)
|
|
A Dialog Definition table containing the controls to be in the dialog.
|
|
|
|
@buttons (table)
|
|
Optional. This is an Array Table of strings defining the buttons that appear
|
|
in the dialog. If this is left out, empty or is otherwise not a table, the
|
|
standard Ok and Cancel buttons appear.
|
|
The strings in this Array Table are used as labels on the buttons, and for
|
|
identifying them in the return values of the function.
|
|
|
|
Returns: Two values.
|
|
1. Boolean or string.
|
|
If no custom buttons were specified, this is a boolean telling whether Ok
|
|
(true) or Cancel (false) were clicked in the dialog.
|
|
If custom buttons were specified, this is the text on the button clicked
|
|
by the user.
|
|
Even if custom buttons were specified, this can still be boolean false if
|
|
the user closes the dialog without pressing any button.
|
|
2. Table.
|
|
The Dialog Result table corresponding to the values the user input in the
|
|
dialog.
