[Programming Help] - using SubgraphDrawStyles (and some other subgraph enums) in Settings&inputs in ACSIL

View Count: 602

I have an ACSIL study i am building, which requires using the max# of subgraphs. Within the study, there are 2 diff types (so 30 subgraphs of each type, for simplicity call them "x" & "y").
The various subgraph settings available really apply to each category (e.g. settings would be identical for all the "X" type, and potentially different settings for all the "y", but each type would be the same for all subgraphs of the same type).

To save lots of hassle for users, I would like to set these in the Settings & Inputs section (so that user does not have explicitly set 60 subgraphs).

It is currently possible to do things like this for choosing a color (where the UI pops up the color picker dialog).
In the normal subgraph settings dialog, there are dropdowns for selecting various other settings that are based on enums (linestyle, drawstyle, name & value label placement, etc).

Is there any way to utilize the same approach in the Settings & Inputs dialog? Was thinking of trying to do it with custom input strings, but before i take the time to "roll my own" and re-invent the wheel, wanted to see if there already is a way to do this. If not, maybe an enhancement request, allowing the various subgraph enums to be be user=selectable from Settings & Inputs?

Thanks,
Jeff

You do have to create your own custom Input for this which lists all of the text strings for the Draw Styles.
