Hello, i have a question. I made a viewport with a list in it, and I want to print out to the console what entry is selected in the viewport. How would I do this?

[d.healey]

In the control callback you can use Console.print(value)

[Gudru]

@d-healey it only shows me the numbers from 0 to 2 depending on what it selects out of three options

[d.healey]

@Gudru Do you have the list items in an array? If so you can use the value as an array index.

Console.print(myArray[value]);

[Gudru]

@d-healey sorry if my question was vague I am trying to see the name of the entry selected @d-healey oh no, it is just set in items in properties, looking in the functions, can I use get function?

[Gudru]

@d-healey yes! I saw another post using get(“items”) to get list of items in viewport, I tried printing out and it gives me a list of all entries

[Gudru]

@d-healey but do you know how I can use the get items to print the selected entry, not all?

[d.healey]

@Gudru Yeah I just showed you that in my last post :p

You get the items in an array and then you use the value as the index.

[Gudru]

@d-healey it does not work, I get api call with undefined parameter 0

[d.healey]

@Gudru Show me your code

Don't call your array, array, because that's a type.

The get("items"); returns a string. You need to convert it to an array using split().

const var Viewport1 = Content.getComponent("Viewport1");

const var items = Viewport1.get("items").split(",");

inline function onViewport1Control(component, value)
{
	Console.print(items[value]);
};

Content.getComponent("Viewport1").setControlCallback(onViewport1Control);

[Gudru]

@d-healey wow! Thank you very much david!

[Lindon]

@Gudru whats wrong with

const var Viewport1 = Content.getComponent("Viewport1");


inline function onViewport1Control(component, value)
{
	Console.print(component.getItemText());
};

@Lindon I didn't see that function in the API browser for viewports. Does it work?
