Softdial Scripter™ Designer - Subscripts Tutorial

5) Creating a Screen

To create the Show Result screen:

  1. From the menu select Script > New Screen and enter the name Show Result (Fig. 1).

    Example New Screen

    Fig. 1 - Example New Screen

  2. Click OK.

The Screen Designer window opens.

In Screen Designer:

  1. Drag a Label onto the Screen window, and in the Properties window (right), set the following:
    1. Name - lblPrompt (Fig. 2).

      Example Label Prompt

      Fig. 2 - Example Label Prompt

  2. Drag a Validation Textbox onto the Screen window, and set the following (as Fig. 3):
    1. CompletionRegex - select Decimal numbers,
    2. Name - type tbUserResult,
    3. PreviewRegex - type [0-9]+,

      Example Validation Textbox

      Fig. 3 - Example Validation Textbox

    Although the CompletionRegex setting allows decimal numbers to be entered, setting the PreviewRegex field as shown will only allow integer values to be entered by the user.

  3. Drag a Button onto the Screen window, and set the following (as Fig. 4):
    1. ButtonAction - leave set to Outcome,
    2. ButtonOutcome - type OK,
    3. Content - type OK,
    4. IsEnabled - uncheck,
    5. Validate - check.

    Example Button

    Fig. 4 - Example Button

    Unchecking IsEnabled and checking Validate means that the OK button will only be enabled when a valid value is entered into the Validation Textbox. If more than one validation control was present on the screen, the OK button would only be enabled if all validation controls contained valid input.

  4. Exit the Screen Designer, saving your changes.
