Title: Conditions And Total Number Of Menu Items
Post by: geniusalz on February 06, 2004, 06:54:00 AM
CODE
IF x THEN
IF y THEN
z
ENDIF
ENDIF


IF x OR y THEN z
CODE
IF x THEN
z
ENDIF
IF y THEN
z
ENDIF

Or you could use GOTO's
CODE
IF x GOTO trueCondition
IF y GOTO trueCondition
GOTO falseCondition
:trueCondition
z
:falseCondition


This is better in the sense that it doesn't require writing z twice.



Don't think as skin can do that for now.

I think he's referring to the use of conditionals in skin elements.

All skin conditionals also have "not" equivalents; which ones are you looking to use, and for what effect?

Well, the conditionals are "AND" only, but through clever usage of the NOT, you could simulate the OR operation.

BJ, this doesn't mean I could use several conditionals for one element to get a logical AND does it? I mean like this:

<LayoutElement Type="Image" Source="Whatever">
   <Condition>ItemEntry</Condition>
   <Condition Arg1="0">ItemSelected</Condition>
</LayoutElement>

(ie IF the currently selected item isn't a submenu AND it's the first item in the list THEN show this image)

I've had a fairly thorough go at making this work, but I can only get the first conditional to have any effect (I'm testing using the WIP, so the <Condition Arg1="0">ItemSelected</Condition> does work on its own, or if I put it first).

Have I misinterpreted what you meant?

I believe all conditionals need to pass in order for the item to be displayed.  It should work... but I haven't tested it much.

I'll give it another go - that's what I thought you meant.
