    Greetings!

    I had bought a long time ago the Lynda.com courses that David did and fond memories made me come here.
    I subscribe here years later, having an issue that cost me the better part of a day, and having remembered David’s website.

    It appears that Radio Buttons don’t work anymore in ID 2020/ExtendScript/ScriptUI.

    Have a peek at this short video that explains it: https://youtu.be/rcgLwjzR9qc

    Or try this sample code:

    var dialog = new Window(“dialog”);
    dialog.text = “Dialog”;
    dialog.orientation = “column”;
    dialog.alignChildren = [“center”,”top”];
    dialog.spacing = 10;
    dialog.margins = 16;

    var grp = dialog.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “grp”});
    grp.orientation = “row”;
    grp.alignChildren = [“left”,”center”];
    grp.addEventListener (“click”, clickety());

    function clickety(){var error = “no one comes here”;};

    var r1 = grp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “r1”});
    r1.text = “We Quit”;

    var r2 = grp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “r2”});
    r2.text = “No more radio buttons for you”;

    dialog.show();

    I’m sorely hoping someone can help me out of this issue without having to resort to going down the CEP rabbit hole!!!

    Cheers from Vancouver,

    Antoine

    Hey Antoine,

    I actually just helped another user with this same issue earlier tonight. Rather than using the “addEventListener” just use “onClick”. Something like this should do:

    radio3.onClick = function(){
    //– Do things here
    }

    That being said, if you prefer to use the “addEventListener” method for some reason, just make sure that you are applying the event listener to the proper element. Your line “var grp = dialog.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “grp”});” states that the “grp” variable is the group that the radio buttons will be nested within but then you go on to add your event listener to the “grp” variable with this line: “grp.addEventListener (“click”, clickety());”

    That’s why you are getting functionality when you click the area around the radio buttons. When you do that, you are clicking on the group which is what actually has the eventListener added to it!

    To make it work with that method, you would want something like: “r1.addEventListener (“click”, clickety());”

    Make sense?

    Well, that’s embarrassing easy to solve.
    I owe you two lattes, I guess! :-)
    I’ve been found!

    Cheers again,

    Antoine
