I'm lookig if there is some cascading drop down list that can be made via KB or Advanced scripting, conceptually like this : https://pivotronics.com/2019/12/30/cascading-or-dependent-drop-down-lists-using-data-validation-tool-in-excel/

But visually more like this : https://w3bits.com/wp-content/uploads/css-dropdown-menu.jpg

 

I happened to find https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/aspnet/build-cascading-drop-down-list#:~:text=A%20cascading%20drop%2Ddown%20list%20is%20a%20series%20of%20dependent,user%20from%20another%20DropDownList%20control.

Did anyobody try sth where each menu items could be activated by just saying a number to identifiy it ?

In the UserDialog Editor you have four choices: ComboBox, ListBox, DropListBox and MultiListBox.

Then there are the promptvalue menus as described in the Structured Commands Samples which can do

what you want (modify the next level of prompts based on the level selected)

Then there is one of my all time faves (and highly recommended), Sean Wenzel's Magic Lists (still

available here:

swMagicLists.bas ' ' Magic Lists - Voice enabled selection lists ...

And you will need the actual commands from the Wayback machine:

Have fun!

got a question on line

 

  Set vMenu = VoiceCommand.MenuCreate( "Magic list", "Magic", dgnlangUSEnglish, "", vcmdmc_CREATE_TEMP )  ' errs

in Function dlgMagicListbox

I referenced Dragon Active X. SHould I reference something else ?

Because I got an error message on VoiceCommand, saying it needs a valid data type. I dont understand why

Besides, dgnlangUSEnglish would not work for french, is dgnlangCHFrench something valid ?

Or is it it does not work in Knobrainer ?

Yes there is a problem with VoiceCommands and the WWB implementation appears to lack the data type. Anyone out there use VoiceCommands with vers 15+ ??

The types are part of the referenced "Dragon NaturallySpeaking ActiveX Controls" type library, but you have to give the enumeration where each value is defined as well:

 

DgnLanguageConstants.dgnlangGerman

instead of

dgnlangGerman

 

and

CREATEFLAGS.vcmdc_CREATE_TEMP

instead of

vcmdc_CREATE_TEMP

 

According to the last sdk documentation, the LangID and Dialect parameter for MenuCreate are unused, so it should make no difference which values you use.

 

Hth,

DRAGON ADVANCED SCRIPTING ENGINECONTROL.PROMPTVALUE

There is also the option to use the

EngineControl where you can prompt for a value.

You can also call it again based on an initial selection, thereby drilling down into a hierarchy of options.

Thx, Mav, Excellent info, there. You reminded me that all my many commands with vmenu items

have had to be modified to account for what you mention.

One easy example is here, my sample dual dictation boxes, (which is very informative, and I

already made the change in that post, but note, I never did get help with triggering the

accelerators . . .) 

http://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=3337

and note, the fix was as simple as commenting out the "As IVMenuAuto" part when dimming

the VMenu in this case.

Mark, I mentioned promptvalue, too. Thx for providing that additional reference (which again

refers back to the structured coding example I mentioned) . . .
