Options Window

Since the beginning when I first conceived of the idea for the Scripts Plugin I've been trying to come up with a way to give us the ability to let the users interact with the script from the PlayOn window. My first attempt just confused our users, and the second attempt is just a band aid.

But I've been working on a way to let us have options on par with "normal" plugins. This came to head with a good link provided by hotTamale (script developer extraordinaire) here. It goes into great detail dealing with accessing C# options from Lua.

I'm getting tired so to cut it short I'll just leave you with what the new options code will (probably) look like:

--[[Options
    --#code
    --load the assemblies
    luanet.load_assembly "System.Windows.Forms"
    luanet.load_assembly "System.Drawing"
    --assign the objects (#include controls can supplant this)
    Form = luanet.import_type "System.Windows.Forms.Form"
    Button = luanet.import_type "System.Windows.Forms.Button"
    TextBox = luanet.import_type "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox"
    Label = luanet.import_type "System.Windows.Forms.Label"
    Point = luanet.import_type "System.Drawing.Point"
    --create the objects
    frmDialog = Form()
    txtZip = TextBox()
    lblZip = Label()
    butClose = Button()
    butApply = Button()
    --controls
        lblZip.Text = "Zipcode: "
        lblZip.Location=Point(20,20)
        
        txtZip.Text = "90210"
        txtZip.Location=Point(50,20)
        txtZip.Width = 150
        
        butApply.Text = "Apply"
        butApply.Location=Point(250,180)
        --button click handler
        handler=butApply.MouseUp:Add(function(sender, data)
            --apply code here
            Log(txtZip.text)
            frmDialog:HideDialog()
        end)
        
        butClose.Text = "Close"
        butClose.Location=Point(280,180)
        --button click handler
        handler=butApply.MouseUp:Add(function(sender, data)
            --reset fields and hide window
            frmDialog:HideDialog()
        end)
    --form properties
    frmDialog.Text = "My Dialog Box"
    frmDialog.Width = 300;
    frmDialog.Height = 250;
    frmDialog.HelpButton = true
    frmDialog.MaximizeBox=false
    frmDialog.MinimizeBox=false
        
        --assign controls to our window
        frmDialog.Controls:Add(txtZip)
        frmDialog.Controls:Add(lblZip)
        frmDialog.Controls:Add(butClose)
        frmDialog.Controls:Add(butApply)
        
    frmDialog:ShowDialog()
EndOptions]]--
