Control Name in a string and setting properties

[Pnirff]

Hey again,

your software is wonderful and I realy like it. Hope, I find a solution for this:

I got a FPL script look like the following code:

char sControlName;
set sControlName = 'MY_PRIVATE_CTRL';

now I want to hide this control or set other properties like

set sControlName.hide = 'true';

In some programing languages you can add a "$" so that the var name is not uses as the control name.

Thank you for your help again
Manfred

Manfred,

With FPL, you need to use the interpret command e.g.

Code: Select all

char sControlName;
set sControlName = 'MY_PRIVATE_CTRL'; 
interpret 'hide ' + sControlName;

With Javascript, you could do this:

Code: Select all

var  sControlName = 'MY_PRIVATE_CTRL'; 
controls.getControl(sControlName).hide();

or you could use the eval() function which is the equivalent of the FPL interpret.
