Get Dual Pane mode?

[EnjoyRC]

Is it possible to return the current mode in scripting? Is dual pane toggled on or off? I've tried returning the get("Item",1) commands. But even if dual pane is toggled off, Pane 2 still returns the path.

I'm looking to script turning on Dual Pane if it's off and setting both paths.

I know toggling it is #800; //Toggle Dual Panes

But before toggling, I need to know if it's on or off. Else if I #800; I may be turning it off.

Hi and welcome,

I added something experimentally. In the next BETA try this:

Code: Select all

echo state(800);

Forget this, I got something better:

Code: Select all

text get("#800", "DP", "SP");

Works Perfectly! You rock!

Code: Select all

    $p = get("#800", "DP", "SP");
    if $p == "SP" {
        #800;  //Toggle Dual Panes
    }

By the way, thank you for your ultra-quick responses. What a great product, and seeing that support is awesome for XYplorer makes me that much more confident in my purchase!

Tip: If you don't need the labels for display you can also use this shorter version:

Code: Select all

    if get("#800") == "1" {
        #800;  //Toggle Dual Panes
    }

Nice... you're right. I didn't need the defined variable. I love efficient code.

Whoops, I showed you bad (but working) syntax. The expression after if *should* be in parentheses:

Code: Select all

    if (get("#800") == "1") {
        #800;  //Toggle Dual Panes
    }

    }

Mine was working without them. But single pane = "0", dual pane = "1". I wanted to insure dual pane was active.

If only we had a not-operator then you could make it:

Code: Select all

if (! get('#800')) {
  #800;
}

If only...

Aaah, sure! (Didn't have much sleep tonite.)

Try next version. (No time to document it...)

PS: All this should work in 9.70.0005... looks like I got it.

Code: Select all

if (!get('#800')) {
  #800;
}
if (! get('#800')) {
  #800;
}
if (not get('#800')) {
  #800;
}
if (not not not get('#800')) {
  #800;
}

How cool!

That's why we LOVE Don and XY SO much! Sounds like a good quote for Don to use on site if possible.

I had expected that this would also work:

Code: Select all

$a = 'a';
  if (! "$a" Like "") {
    echo 'hi';
  }

Not a deal breaker since it seems to work with parens:

Code: Select all

$a = 'a';
  if (! ("$a" Like "")) {
    echo 'hi';
  }
