[LE] MCM List Option Buttons

[lesi123]

Is there a way to add a Cancel button to a menu list that just closes the list and ignores any selection changes? I only see Default and Exit buttons. Selecting Default does the expected and loads the default option but selecting Exit (or pressing Escape) forces whichever option is currently selected to load. It causes some values to reset if they were altered after initally selecting an option from the list.

You can just add a cancel option to the menu which did nothing.

 

What I do is usually set the default to whatever the menu opened as, so default becomes the cancel button.

I see, good idea! Thanks!

I messed around with the menus a bit more and found that while the menu list doesn't have a built in Accept/Cancel button, ShowMessage does. Using that, I made some prompts so if you opened the menu and didn't mean to or had second thoughts, you could select any option and just say "No" on the prompt and it would kick you back out to your previous selection with no values changed.

 

Here's a bare bones version of what I did in case anyone wants to know:

int PresetsOID_M ; Menu to choose presets
string[] PresetsList ; Options on menu to choose a preset
int OldPresetIndex ; Integer for current selected preset
int PresetsIndex = 0 ; Default option on menu is None

event OnConfigInit()

	...
	PresetsList = new string[...]
	PresetsList[0] = "None " ; space needed after None or menu is blank
	PresetsList[1] = "Preset 1"
	PresetsList[2] = "Preset 2"
	PresetsList[3] = "Preset 3"
	...
		
endEvent

	
event OnOptionMenuAccept(int option, int index)	
	if (option == PresetsOID_M)
		PresetsIndex = index
		SetMenuOptionValue(PresetsOID_M, PresetsList[PresetsIndex]) 
		
; ---------- DEFAULT BLANK PRESET ----------		
		if (index == 0) ; None
			ShowMessage("No preset selected.", false)
			SetMenuOptionValue(PresetsOID_M, PresetsList[OldPresetIndex]) ; Go back to previous preset selection
			
; ---------- PRESET 1 ----------
		elseif (index == 1) ; Preset 1
			if ShowMessage("Are you sure you want to enable Preset 1?", true, "Yes", "No")
				OldPresetIndex = 1
				; Do stuff
				ShowMessage("All options adjusted to Preset 1.", false)
				ForcePageReset()
			else
				SetMenuOptionValue(PresetsOID_M, PresetsList[OldPresetIndex])
			endif
			
; ---------- PRESET 2 ----------
		elseif (index == 2) ; Preset 2
			if ShowMessage("Are you sure you want to enable Preset 2?", true, "Yes", "No")
				OldPresetIndex = 2
				; Do stuff
				ShowMessage("All options adjusted to Preset 2.", false)
				ForcePageReset()
			else
				SetMenuOptionValue(PresetsOID_M, PresetsList[OldPresetIndex])
			endif
			
; ---------- PRESET 3 ----------
		elseif (index == 3) ; Preset 3
			if ShowMessage("Are you sure you want to enable Preset 3?", true, "Yes", "No")
				OldPresetIndex = 3
				; Do stuff
				ShowMessage("All options adjusted to Preset 3.", false)
				ForcePageReset()
			else
				SetMenuOptionValue(PresetsOID_M, PresetsList[OldPresetIndex])
			endif
		endif
	endif
