If I have GUI as follows
how can I add a checkbox that when you click on it,it gives you
different files,
then when you click on that file it gives you the information you are
looking for,
instead of me browsing for a file how do i turn it to be a csv or xls
file check box.
dlg <- aDialog(items=list(
file=fileItem("", attr=list(
filter=list("CSV or txt"=list(
patterns=c("*.csv","*.txt")
),
"All files" = list(patterns=c("*"))
))),
header=trueFalseItem(TRUE, tooltip=paste("Variable onfirst line?")),
fill=trueFalseItem(TRUE, tooltip="Fill unequal length rows if TRUE"),
sep=stringItem("", tooltip="Field separator character"),
## our things
assign.to=stringItem("shapefile", label="Assign to:"),
output=tableItem(attr=list(size=c(500,500)), show_label=TRUE),
file.type=stringItem("")
),
title="Nova Shape It csv or txt file",
help_string="click browse button to search for a file."
)
view <- aGroup(aNotebook(
aNotebookPage("file",
separatorItem(),
"ShapeHeader","sep",
label="shapeit"),
aNotebookPage("file",
separatorItem(),
"fill","sep",
label="file",
)
),
aContainer("assign.to",
aFrame("output", label="Preview")
),
horizontal=TRUE))
dlg$read_file <- function(., file.type, output, assign.to, ...) {
if(file.type != "") {
out <- try(do.call(sprintf("read.%s",file.type), list(...)),
silent=TRUE)
if(inherits(out, "try-error")) {
cat("Error reading file of type,", file.type, "\n")
out <- data.frame(nova="")
}
} else {
out <- data.frame(nova="")
}
return(out)
}
dlg$model_value_changed <- function(.) {
fname <- .$get_file()
if(file.exists(fname)) {
for(i in c("txt","csv")) {
if(grepl(paste("\\.",i,sep=""), fname))
.$set_file.type(c(txt="table",csv="csv")[i])
}
}
switch(.$get_file.type(),
"csv"={.$set_sep(","); .$set_quote('\"')},
"table"={},
{}
)
.$set_output(.$do_call("read_file",.$to_R()))
}
dlg$OK_handler <- function(.) {
out <- .$do_call("read_file",.$to_R())
assign.to <- .$get_assign.to()
if(exists(assign.to, envir=.GlobalEnv)) {
if(!gconfirm(sprintf("Overwrite variable %s?", assign.to)))
return()
}
assign(assign.to, out, envir=.GlobalEnv)
}
dlg$make_gui(gui_layout=view)
