TokenNames common to most controls, such as x, y, w, h, text, idc... are not listed here.

A Toolbox is a set of options, ordered by columns and rows. Only one can be active at a time and one is always selected (the first one by default). For Toolbox with multiple selections see CT_CHECKBOXES.

• Example Config:

class MyRscToolbox 
{
	onLoad = "_this select 0 lbSetCurSel 4;";

	idc = -1;
	type = 6; // CT_TOOLBOX
	style = 2; // ST_CENTER

	x = 0.25;
	y = 0.25;
	w = 0.5;
	h = 0.1;

	colorText[] = {0, 1, 0, 1};
	colorTextSelect[] = {1, 0, 0, 1};

	colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 1, 0.3};
	colorSelectedBg[] = {0, 0, 0, 0.2};
	
	font = "RobotoCondensed";
	sizeEx = 0.04;
	
	onToolBoxSelChanged = "hint str _this";
	
	columns = 3;
	rows = 2;

	strings[] = {"Entry 1","Entry 2","Entry 3","Entry 4","Entry 5","Entry 6"};
	checked_strings[] = {"[Entry 1]","[Entry 2]","[Entry 3]","[Entry 4]","[Entry 5]","[Entry 6]"};
	tooltips[] = {"Entry 1 tip","Entry 2 tip","Entry 3 tip","Entry 4 tip","Entry 5 tip","Entry 6 tip"};
	values[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6};
};

ⓘ

The returned option number from the onToolBoxSelChanged event handler starts at 0. So if you have 6 toolbox entries, the first is 0 and the last is 5

with uiNamespace do { ctrl = findDisplay 46 createDisplay "RscDisplayEmpty" ctrlCreate ["MyRscToolbox", -1]; };

Script commands for use with ToolBoxes:

• lbCurSel - returns index of selected option
• lbSetCurSel - sets option selected
• lbValue - returns value currently set on given option
• lbSetValue - sets value on given option
• lbSetText - sets string on given option
• lbClear - clears all strings from toolbox table
• lbAdd - adds a string to cleared toolbox table

ⓘ

When Toolbox style is ST_PICTURE, the strings property is treated as array of textures, and checked_strings property is ignored

• Example Config 2:

class MyRscToolbox 
{
	onLoad = "_this select 0 lbSetCurSel 4;";

	idc = -1;
	type = 6; // CT_TOOLBOX
