setcolumns("info", 32);Difficult, because this command does something only if you are on the tab where you created this column, or if it is placed somewhere to Custom Column 1 - 5. If yusef88 tries it on an other tab (because he wants to switch it on there too), this command does nothing, until he uses the SetColumns(":d-info",8). So first he has to check, if the column exists. If not, he has to use flag 8, if yes, flag 32. The checking of existence is also can be difficult: if the custom column was added manually, the SetColumns(,1) list would contain, say, ":d-10", the NUMBER of the custom column.highend wrote:As long as the custom column has a unique name, why should this be difficult?
Hidden...Code: Select all
setcolumns("info", 32);
Code: Select all
$columnName = "Info";
if (regexmatches(setcolumns(, 1), "(^|,)\+?:d-$columnName")) { setcolumns(":d-$columnName", 32); }
else { setcolumns(":d-$columnName", 8); }So I am right. This relatively simple solution is also not a general one. And think about the situation, when you want to extended this small script with delete function, like keeping the CTRL button pressed would delete the Info column, instead of simply hiding it.highend wrote:As long as he only uses a script to add / show / hide the column I don't see any problems using this.
With what? That the script doesn't include columns that were set manually? Yes, you are. May I ask why a user should set it manually and then use the script instead of just using it in the first place?So I am right.
Code: Select all
$translatedColumns = "";
foreach($column, setcolumns(, 1), ",") {
$columnCaption = "";
if (regexmatches($column, "\+?:d-\d+")) { $columnCaption = getkey("Caption" . regexmatches($column, "\d+"), "CustomColumns"); }
if ($columnCaption) { $translatedColumns = $translatedColumns . ":d-$columnCaption" . ","; }
else { $translatedColumns = $translatedColumns . $column . ","; }
}Extending the script with a column delete function where the delete function hides the column instead of deleting it? Sorry, no time to think about functions that don't do what they are supposed to do...And think about the situation, when you want to extended this small script with delete function, like keeping the CTRL button pressed would delete the Info column, instead of simply hiding it
In my case, I added the CC manually on 2 tabs, then I realized, it is so good, that I wrote the script to switch it on/off on other tabs too. (And a script for adding the column to all tabs.) And my fisrt script worked only where I added the columns manually. It took me a while to figure out that I need a flag 8 first.highend wrote: May I ask why a user should set it manually and then use the script instead of just using it in the first place?
No need to think about anything more. My intention was to create a "general" script, which is not needed to change later, so I developed the show/hide and the add/delete function as well. I decided that a normal click do the show/hide and add function, and CTRL+click is for delete. (Yes, you are probably right, it is not so meaningful, but I wanted to put it in so I can call the script complete.) Creating the solution was not simple to me, and my code is really ugly compared with yours.Extending the script with a column delete function where the delete function hides the column instead of deleting it?
