ShowObjectPicker and Glossary objects

[former_member217396]

Hi all,

We have a problem applying the Method ShowObjectPicker to terms grouped in categories in the glossary model.

We would like to make the terms with a certain status (Candidate) available for selection. We've written the following script:

Dim gl, sel, selectedterm

Set gl = ActiveGlossary

Set sel = gl.CreateSelection

For Each cat In gl.Categories

   For Each ter In cat.Terms

      If ter.Status = "Candidate" Then

         sel.Objects.Add ter

      End If

   Next

Next

Set selectedterm = sel.ShowObjectPicker

sel.Delete

The problem is, that the object picker doesn't show any terms (and we've verified that the selection contains elements). This problem seems to occur if the terms are located in categories, not if the terms are located directly under the model. The method ShowObjMultiSelection does not seem to have this problem, but we'd like to select only one element. We've also tried setting the arguments of the object picker, but as soon as you do that, it ignores the object selection. Could this be a bug of the object picker? Or is there something we have missed?

BR,

Rafal

When you create a term in a category, the entry will be added in Terms

automatically. So the following code works for me:

set gl = ActiveGlossary

set sel =gl.CreateSelection

for each t in gl.Terms

   'in my case, it shows status is upper case

   output t.status

   if t.status = "CANDIDATE" then

       sel.Objects.add t

   end if

next

set selectedterm=sel.ShowObjectPicker()

Dear Phillip,

thanks a lot for your reply. But your code only works for me for those terms that do not belong to any category. Otherwise these terms are not shown in the ObjectPicker.

You are correct.

My original testcase happened to have many terms in root folder.

So I think this is a bug.

Will open a case with engineering.
