Well, I tried to add all mixed elements from a list (RadioButtons were directly after each other) and it didn't work. When I add the RadioButtons in a separate loop, they work. Sometimes it would be handy to have more control, as you might have more elements inbetween the RadioButtons. So the designing gets more complicated.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Coding: Radio Buttons don't work
Hi Johnny, thanks for your reply. Usually my radio buttons are working. Just in this case, they don't. - And all of them had the same listener. But I discovered that I can get them working, when I don't set all of the buttons, labels etc. in one loop. I seperated the radio buttons and set them in an extra loop. Now they are working again. That doesn't make much sense to me, but at least it works. 2015-05-16 13:08 GMT+02:00 Johnny Rosenberg gurus.knu...@gmail.com mailto:gurus.knu...@gmail.com: 2015-05-16 8:59 GMT+02:00 X Roemer x-roe...@web.de mailto:x-roe...@web.de: Hi, I use always the same mechanism to add radio buttons by code.

My questions are: - Is there a mechanism to group radio buttons by code instead of adding them one directly after the other? The first way that comes to my mind is to assign a macro to each one of them (the same macro). It's possible for a macro to determine which radiobutton the call came from, so what the macro could do is just to unselect all the other radio buttons. Here's an example from my Maxy-Yatzy Game for Calc (OpenOffice, but I think that doesn't matter much in this case): ' Code starts here Sub NumbersButton(Button As Object) Dim ButtonName As String, ButtonNumber As Integer, State As Boolean ButtonName=Button.Source.getModel().Name ButtonNumber=GetButtonNumber(ButtonName) ButtonState(ButtonNumber)=Not ButtonState(ButtonNumber) 'If Button state is TRUE, unselect Category. If ButtonState(ButtonNumber) Then' Save relevant dice. UnselectCategoryButtonPushed Button.Source.getModel().setPropertyValue(TextColor,Black) Else' Re-roll relevant dice. Button.Source.getModel().setPropertyValue(TextColor,Gray) EndIf SetAllDiceState SetRollButtonState(Auto) End Sub ' End of code In this case, Button is the object to use for determining what caused the subroutine to start. I call a couple of functions in this to make things happen to other buttons and things like that. For instance, the name of the button that was pressed is found in Button.Source.getModel().Name. In this case no radio buttons were involved, but that doesn't matter much. It would be pretty much the same. In this case it's just an ordinary button without a frame and with a unicode character label, for instance ”⚂”, so it looks like I'm clicking a die, but the procedure is the same for check boxes, radio buttons and even images. Everything that's clickable. (OFF TOPIC: Maxy-Yatzy is a Swedish variant of Yatzee where six dice are used and you can save rolls for later. New categories, due to the six dices, are three pairs – XXYYZZ, five of a kind – X?, full straight – 123456, tower – XX and house – XXXYYY. A total of ≥84 p in the upper categories gives a 100 p Bonus, Maxi-Yatzy – XX, gives 100 p. That's pretty much it… kind of.)

Unless you're talking about a really BIG garden (ie: hundreds of plants), a true database seems to me like overkill. I would suggest creating a map (on paper, or however is convenient for you) and overlaying it with a grid where each square equals no more than one square foot (or maybe 25 centimeters, since you're not in the USA). Title the rows columns just like a spreadsheet would. Then, ON a spreadsheet, I'd list everything you plant, with column A as the plant description, and column B being the grid location. As you add more plants, you can either re-sort the table to keep the list in alphabetical order, or just insert new rows where they belong on the list. (This provides the added convenience of adding more info in additional columns on the fly, if the need makes itself apparent.) If that DOES get so large that a true database seems more convenient, this spreadsheet and map will have already given you a good head-start on how to design the database.
