Modifying group/squad logs to be copy-able.

[Skippah]

 Hello everyone, as we all know, many groups/squads has a topic for group/squad-logs. So my suggestion is being able to copy lines from group/squad history and that will eventually save time for moderators instead of copying every singe word. Hopefully it's pretty easy to script as the console / F8 has this ability. Hope I kept it simple, thanks for your time. Thanks to @Ryan. , here is a script to make things easier.

 Constructive additions :

Code: Lua

1. -- GUI
2. log_wnd = guiCreateWindow(457, 296, 447, 112, "CIT getSelectedText", false)
3. preview_mem = guiCreateMemo(9, 23, 428, 49, "", false, log_wnd)
4. close_log_btn = guiCreateButton(9, 71, 428, 31, "Close Window", false, log_wnd)
5.  
6. -- Export
7. function getSelectedText(theGrid)
8.         local r, c = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(theGrid)
9.         if ((r > -1) and (c)) then
10.                 local text = guiGridListGetItemText(theGrid, r, c)
11.                 guiSetVisible(log_wnd, true)
12.                 showCursor(true)
13.                 guiSetText(preview_mem, text)
14.         end
15. end
16.  
17. -- Close preview window...
18. function closePreview()
19.         guiSetVisible(log_wnd, false)
20.         showCursor(false)
21. end
22. addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", close_log_btn, closePreview, false)
23.  

You could directly using this function setClipboard

Great idea, with the ability to copy group/squad logs, it will be easiest to update some topics in our boards, mainly, the logs and the blacklist. Upvoting!

Voting positive...

I've made a simple function which can be added in CIT Misc functions and can be exported in other scripts by getSelectedText(grid) function, here are pictures: http://imgur.com/a/5NwRL

And here is the code, with GUI stuff:

Code: Lua

1. -- GUI
2. log_wnd = guiCreateWindow(457, 296, 447, 112, "CIT getSelectedText", false)
3. preview_mem = guiCreateMemo(9, 23, 428, 49, "", false, log_wnd)
4. close_log_btn = guiCreateButton(9, 71, 428, 31, "Close Window", false, log_wnd)
5.  
6. -- Export
7. function getSelectedText(theGrid)
8.         local r, c = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(theGrid)
9.         if ((r > -1) and (c)) then
10.                 local text = guiGridListGetItemText(theGrid, r, c)
11.                 guiSetVisible(log_wnd, true)
12.                 showCursor(true)
13.                 guiSetText(preview_mem, text)
14.         end
15. end
16.  
17. -- Close preview window...
18. function closePreview()
19.         guiSetVisible(log_wnd, false)
20.         showCursor(false)
21. end
22. addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", close_log_btn, closePreview, false)
23.

Uhm...not sure but instead of creating window on clicking and then copy/pasting it, you could directly using this function setClipboard

I know, I just made it so that people can cop 'some selective' log part from text, imo GUI wasn't bad idea. Though I just made a suggestion-addition to let developers know what I am actually suggesting.

Added the ability to CTRL + C selected grid list text.
