Lua extensions: selected item API for dialog dropdown widget
I have written following VLC extension script: Time. There is a [ >> PUT IN ] button that puts a selected text from drop-down list into the input field above and should also set the first empty item in drop-down list. This setting works while initiating dialog box also in VLC2 - please see the third option "top-right" in position drop down list there. VLC 1.1.10 works well with that. There has been made some changes in VLC 1.1.11 disabling this behaviour.
Here I have prepared a short extension script to test a drop-down widget:
-- "test dropdown widget.lua" --
function descriptor()
return {title = "test dropdown widget"}
end
function activate()
create_dialog()
end
function deactivate()
end
function close()
vlc.deactivate()
end
function create_dialog()
w = vlc.dialog("test dropdown widget")
w1 = w:add_dropdown(1,1,1,1)
w1:add_value("one", 1)
w1:add_value("two", 2)
w1:add_value("three", 3)
w1:add_value("four", 4)
w1:set_text("three") -- <<< I suggest to use w1:set_text(3)
w2 = w:add_button("Set to TWO", click_TWO,1,2,1,1)
end
function click_TWO()
vlc.msg.info("[test dropdown widget] get_text: " .. w1:get_text())
vlc.msg.info("[test dropdown widget] get_value: " .. w1:get_value() .. "\n")
w1:set_text("two") -- w1:set_text(2)
w:update()
end
Dear developers, I would like to ask you to test a behaviour of this script in VLC 1.1.10 and VLC2 and to tell me your opinion. Please use also menu Tools > Messages to see actual text value and id value.
According to me, w:set_text( text ) and w:get_text() should work properly also with dropdown widget: w:set_text(id) to select a list item accorging to its unique id, w:get_text() to read text value of selected item and w:get_value() to read id value of selected item.
So, is it a bug report or a feature request that should be or will be fixed or implemented or no? Thanks in advance for replies.
