==Chapter 6 - Remove radio buttons==
//[[user:StPendl|1319905788]]//
This step now get rid of the radio buttons, which are now obsolete due to the implemented color pick selection.
We only have to remove all the definitions for the radio buttons and consolidate the mouse and radio button event handlers into one.
To consolidate the event handlers we replace:
[[code format="lb"]]
SUB MouseClick Handle$, PosX, PosY
RBhandle$ = Left$(Handle$, Len(Handle$)-1); "r"; Right$(Handle$, 1)
#RBhandle$ "set"
call SetBandValue RBhandle$
END SUB
SUB SetBandValue Handle$
' parse handle of calling control
Band = val(Right$(Handle$, 1))
ColorName$ = Mid$(Handle$, 4, Len(Handle$)-5)
' get position of color
FOR i = 1 to 10
if Colors$(i,1) = ColorName$ then exit for
if i < 4 then if Tolerances$(i,1) = ColorName$ then exit for
NEXT
[[code]]
With the version to parse the graphics box handle:
[[code format="lb"]]
SUB MouseClick Handle$, PosX, PosY
' parse handle of calling control
Band = val(Right$(Handle$, 1))
ColorName$ = Mid$(Handle$, 4, Len(Handle$)-4)
' get position of color
FOR i = 1 to 10
if Colors$(i,1) = ColorName$ then exit for
if i < 4 then if Tolerances$(i,1) = ColorName$ then exit for
NEXT
[[code]]
The complete code now looks like this.
