Newbie question:
I am looking at the docs for gs
and am trying to modify ex9
(copied below from
/lib/gs-1.5.7/doc/html/gs_chapter8.html).
I want the window to stay open after sending
a name tuple to the console, so another name
tuple can be sent. I don't want the window
to close unless I click the cancel button
(or the top-right X button).
I've tried adding loop(Pid) at the end of the two receive
clauses which call Text=gs:read(entry,text), but get strange
results. (this on XP, using werl).
Can someone show me how to do it? Thanks.
----------
from the docs:
-module(ex9).
-copyright('Copyright (c) 1991-97 Ericsson Telecom AB').
-vsn('$Revision: /main/release/2 $ ').
-export([start/0,init/1]).
start() ->
spawn(ex9, init, [self()]),
receive
{entry_reply, Reply} -> Reply
end.
init(Pid) ->
S = gs:start(),
Win = gs:create(window,S,[{title,"Entry Demo"},
{width,150},{height,100}]),
gs:create(label,Win,[{label,{text,"What's your name?"}},
{width,150}]),
gs:create(entry,entry,Win,[{x,10},{y,30},{width,130},
{keypress,true}]),
gs:create(button,ok,Win,[{width,45},{y,60},{x,10},
{label,{text,"Ok"}}]),
gs:create(button,cancel,Win,[{width,60},{y,60},{x,80},
{label,{text,"Cancel"}}]),
gs:config(Win,{map,true}),
loop(Pid).
loop(Pid) ->
receive
{gs,entry,keypress,_,['Return'|_]} ->
Text=gs:read(entry,text),
Pid ! {entry_reply,{name,Text}};
{gs,entry,keypress,_,_} -> % all other keypresses
loop(Pid);
{gs,ok,click,_,_} ->
Text=gs:read(entry,text),
Pid ! {entry_reply,{name,Text}};
{gs,cancel,click,_,_} ->
Pid ! {entry_reply,cancel};
X ->
io:format("Got X=~w~n",[X]),
loop(Pid)
end.
