This image shows a mock-up MUI window for an assembly debugger - it's composed of dozens of Label objects.

The individual 'x' symbols represent binary fields and I want them to switch between '0' and '1' when they're clicked.

The grouped 'xxxxxxxx' symbols represent 32bit hexadecimal fields and I want them to be editable when they're clicked.

Is there a way to find out if a label has been clicked?

If not, I'm hoping to change those 'x'es to borderless buttons and string gadgets. But how do I make a check-mark style button that shows '1' when activated and '0' when deactivated?

I'd also be interested to know of other ways to create such a display that relies of far fewer individual objects.

You can use this object:
Code:


Child, ausPPC = TextObject,
    MUIA_Background, "",
    MUIA_InputMode, MUIV_InputMode_Toggle,
    MUIA_Text_Contents, "0",
    MUIA_FixWidthTxt, "0",
    MUIA_ShowSelState, FALSE,
End,

And then some notifies:
Code:


    DoMethod(ausPPC, MUIA_Notify, MUIA_Selected, TRUE, ausPPC, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Text_Contents, "1")
    DoMethod(ausPPC, MUIA_Notify, MUIA_Selected, FALSE, ausPPC, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Text_Contents, "0")

For the grouped 'xxxxxxx', you can use a StringObject:
Code:


Child, strXXX = StringObject,
    MUIA_Frame, MUIV_Frame_None, // no frame
    MUIA_Background, "", // no background
    MUIA_String_Contents, "00000000",
    MUIA_FixWidthTxt, "00000000",
    MUIA_ShowSelState, FALSE, // if don't want a different select state
End,

Thank you - much appreciated!

Just one thing, for the uninitiated, in those DoMethod calls it should be 'MUIM_Notify'.

mode pedantic

Code:


DoMethod(ausPPC, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Selected, TRUE, ausPPC, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Text_Contents, "1");
DoMethod(ausPPC, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Selected, FALSE, ausPPC, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Text_Contents, "0");

/mode pedantic

There is a single notify solution:

Code:


DoMethod(ausPPC, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Selected, MUIV_EveryTime, ausPPC, 4, MUIM_SetAsString, MUIA_Text_Contents, "%ld", MUIV_TriggerValue);

Saving some bytes. ;)

I didn't know those attributes could be paired with what looks like a formatting instruction but I like it - thank you for sharing that!

I haven't yet disassembled MUIA_Background, "" to see what is actually being passed with that attribute but I noticed that the entire area within the window borders becomes highlighted while the string gadget is selected...

Edit: It appears that setting MUIA_ShowSelState to true or false makes no difference...
