Button ready for pressing?

SimpleMynd_01 · Post by **SimpleMynd_01** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 11:04 pm

Is there a way to tell if a button is ready for pressing or not? My goal is to not just loop through pounding the Combine button in the new tradeskill interface before it's ready.

It seems like there should be a way to do this with a bit more style... My cludge workaround is:

Code: Select all

Sub NewTSCombine
    /delay 2
    :CombineClick
        /varset Waiting 0
        /delay 8
        /notify TradeskillWnd CombineButton leftmouseup
        :WaitForResult
            /delay 1
            /doevents CombineSuccess
            /doevents CombineFail
            /doevents NoComponents
            /if (@OutOfItems==TRUE) {
                /varset OutOfItems FALSE
                /goto :DoneCombining
            }
            /if (@FailedCombine==TRUE) {
                /varset FailedCombine FALSE
                /goto :CombineClick
            }
            /if (@MadeIt==TRUE) {
                /varset MadeIt FALSE
                /autoinv
                /goto :CombineClick
            }
            /varadd Waiting 1
            /if (@Waiting==10) {
                /echo ${Time} Combine click timeout. Reclicking.
                /mqlog ${Time} Combine click timeout. Reclicking.
                /goto :CombineClick
            }
        /goto :WaitForResult
:DoneCombining
/return

Another easy question: What's the propper way to write this?
Old way:

Code: Select all

/selectitem "Water Flask" merchant

My ghetto fix is...

Code: Select all

/notify MerchantWnd MW_MerchantSlot7 leftmouseup

But once again I get no style or flexability points for it...

I play on satellite so my timings get ALL screwed up pretty easily with tradeskill scripts. Latency is anywhere from .5 to 3.5 seconds, and hardcoded delays of 4 seconds just bugs the hell outta me!

Thanks for the help in advance!

added bool window.Checked for next zip.

Then do this:

Code: Select all

/if (!${Window[TradeskillWnd].Child[CombineButton].Checked) {
whatever
}

The right way to select an item is this:
/itemnotify merchant1 leftmouseup
(merchant1 through merchant80 are valid)
or
/itemnotify ${Merchant.Item[=Water Flask].InvSlot} leftmouseup

Lax,

I tested ${Window[TradeskillWnd].Child[CombineButton].Checked} and it returns TRUE if the mouse is pointing at the button (which highlights it) and FALSE otherwise. Doesn't appear to have any relation to whether or not the button is pressed or available for pressing. I probably won't be using this myself, but just wanted to let you know.

k, I'll look into it then

ok. Checked appears to give TRUE if either a) the button is pressed OR b) the mouse is hovering over it.

I'll be trying to figure out how to determine if it is pressed.

Lax helped me to figure this one out.

For those of you who want to wait for the button to become available and then press it use .Enabled.

The combine button on the new Tradeskill window for example, to press it when it becomes available you would use:

Code: Select all

:Loop
   /if (!${Window[TradeskillWnd].Child[CombineButton].Enabled}) /goto :Loop
   /notify TradeskillWnd CombineButton leftmouseup

You can use the same thing for the SearchButton, etc.
Hope this helps someone out :)

The difference between using Checked and Enabled is that one of them is having a button "greyed out" like the invite button on a group window, and one is having it appear depressed (no not "sad" just down).

greyed out=not enabled
looks down=checked
