wd error in android

[Thomas Arneson]

The wd child control dspinbox works for me in windows, but not in android. I seem to remember some other things like this from a few years back too. Are there other forum members who write scripts for J android?

-- showing the error --

Using Ed Gottsman's arrayportal.com I found a reference to an android
domain error involving wd.

The resolution was

I suspect android dspinbox accepts integers only.

[Thomas Arneson]

Bill, I copied the following from https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Window_Driver/ChildClasses
It takes reals in windows, The d prefix implies double.

https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Window_Driver/ChildClasses

dspinbox c
A spinbox control for real numeric values.
Qt class: QDoubleSpinBox (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdoublespinbox.html).

Create: wd'cc id dspinbox [dec min step max val]' creates a real-value spinbox that displays dec decimal places, starting with min, increasing by step, to a value of max, with val as the starting value.

Set commands:

decimals - wd'set id decimals dec ' change display to dec decimal places.

min - wd'set id min minval ' changes the minimum value to minval.

max - wd'set id max maxval ' changes the maximum value to maxval.

readonly - wd'set id readonly [0|1]' makes the control readonly [1] or editable [0]. The 1 can be elided.

step - wd'set id step stepval ' changes the step size to stepval.

value - wd'set id value val ' displays the value val in the control.

Events:

formname_childname_changed when the value is changed

Names Created When Any Event Is Signaled:

childname is a character string that, when converted to numeric, gives the selected value

It would be a huge help to me if it worked in android.

I checked again, dspinbox is not supported on android. you can get
informative error message using
wd 'qer'

only spinbox is supported on android. This is a platform feature.
