Scripting help about just simple print a value on propertyChange on a numericText Field

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 3:48pm

I am doing a simple experiment on a Numeric Text Field :

if event.propertyName == "intValue":
	print event.newValue

on propertyChange Event Handlers
but print nothing
I print event.propertyName but never shows the value "intValue".
shows "editValid".
If I change the code to

if event.propertyName == "editValid":
 	print event.newValue

only prints False or True but not the value.
Pls your help.

Is the numeric input field set to use integers? It can also be set to Long, Float, and Double, and if so, intValue is not used.

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 3:57pm

Yes is set on that way

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 4:03pm

I did

print event.propertyName

And show this values

formatterFactory
textFormatter
editValid
editValid

but never intValue

The numeric text field doesn't emit propertyChange events from the *Value properties, for complicated internal Java Swing reasons.

Thank you @paul-griffith.

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 4:17pm

And how I can access the value in Scripting?

paul-griffith · October 23, 2023, 5:00pm

Okay, I was wrong (but at least Phil was too ). Regardless of the mode, all four sub-property values are fired, as well as the non-visible value property.
I tested with this script in the property change event:

print event.propertyName, '-', repr(event.newValue), '-', type(event.newValue)

And got this output from two value changes in preview mode in the designer:

value - 123 - <type 'int'>
intValue - 123 - <type 'int'>
longValue - 123L - <type 'long'>
floatValue - 123.0 - <type 'float'>
doubleValue - 123.0 - <type 'float'>
value - 1 - <type 'int'>
intValue - 1 - <type 'int'>
longValue - 1L - <type 'long'>
floatValue - 1.0 - <type 'float'>
doubleValue - 1.0 - <type 'float'>

So I don't know what's going on with your example.

Yeah, it happens.

/ Poking the guy with access to the source code.

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 5:41pm

Thank you let me check what is wrong with my code, And I will post it here.

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 5:55pm

I did copy and paste on your code but the results arent the same:

editValid - True - <type 'bool'>
editValid - False - <type 'bool'>
editValid - True - <type 'bool'>
editValid - False - <type 'bool'>
editValid - True - <type 'bool'>
editValid - False - <type 'bool'>
editValid - True - <type 'bool'>
editValid - False - <type 'bool'>
editValid - True - <type 'bool'>
editValid - False - <type 'bool'>
editValid - True - <type 'bool'>

I don't know why . What place I can see what is wrong with my Designer?

paul-griffith · October 23, 2023, 6:04pm

If you leave the script in place and launch an actual client, what does it log in its own diagnostic console?

With this code:

print("event: " + str(event))
print("source: " + str(event.source))
print("newValue : " + str(event.newValue))
print("oldValue : " + str(event.oldValue))
print("propertyName : " + str(event.propertyName))

I am getting this results:

Sometime works getting the values changes and others don't . I don't know why.

What if you create a brand new numeric text field and put the same script on it?
What if you set the property filter to 'All' and change the value of the 'Defer Updates' boolean property?

Gustavo_Rojas · October 23, 2023, 6:56pm

This is a brand new Numeric Text Field:

I am figuring out how to do the "What if you set the property filter to 'All' and change the value of the 'Defer Updates' boolean property?" part.
