Topic: foreach control in a list of controls - what's wrong

[mkweaver]

This works:

Code: [Select]

(dcl_Control_SetVisible CommandList_cmdl_main_cbFilter nil)
  But this doesn't?

Code: [Select]

(foreach ctl '(CommandList_cmdl_main_cbFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_cbRecent
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblRecent
)
    (dcl_Control_SetVisible ctl nil)
  )
What is wrong with the foreach?

Just a guess, but try:

Code: [Select]

(foreach ctl '(CommandList_cmdl_main_cbFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_cbRecent
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblRecent
)
    (dcl_Control_SetVisible (eval ctl) nil)
  )

You can't explicitly quote a list of ODCL control names. Use "list" instead.

Code: [Select]

(foreach ctl (list CommandList_cmdl_main_cbFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblFilter
CommandList_cmdl_main_cbRecent
CommandList_cmdl_main_lblRecent
)
    (dcl_Control_SetVisible ctl nil)
  )
Kind Regards
