Talk:Wizard scripts

=> add into 'How do I create a new wizard?'

The first thing to know is that each wizard script contains

- global variables :

example

ObjectName <- _T("name") 
ObjectIndex <- 0 

- and basic primitive functions :

• Common and mandatory for all types of project :

which contains different entry pages, see Adding wizard pages

void BeginWizard () 

• For a project :

• • to get the template files in a project

wxString GetFilesDir ()

• • to get generated files in a project

wxString GetGeneratedFile(index)

• • to create project

bool SetupProject (project)

• For a single target (within a project)

bool SetupTarget (target, IsDebug)

• For file creation

wxString CreateFiles ()

• For an item to be defined by the user

bool SetupCustom ()

These functions will be performed by the manager wizard.

Then you should do is read about Wizard Scripting Commands and use it as a reference on what commands are accepted and what their syntax is.

Here is a simple example taken from the distribution wizard.script 12.11

                       "This wizard will guide you to create a new empty file.\n\n" +
                       "When you 're ready to proceed, please click \"Next\"...");
   // add builtin pages
   Wizard.AddInfoPage(_T("EmptyFileIntro"), info_msg); // intro

function CreateFiles()
{
   local fname = Wizard.GetFileName();
   local ed    = GetEditorManager();
   if (IsNull(ed))
   {
       ShowError(_T("The wizard could not locate the editor manager."));
   }
   local ed_new = ed.New(fname);
   if (IsNull(ed_new))
   {
       ShowError(_T("The wizard could not create a new file.\n" +
                    "Maybe the target folder is write-protected?"));
   }
   else
   {
       // succeeded -> add file to project if needed
       if (Wizard.GetFileAddToProject())
       {
           AddFileToTargets(Wizard, fname);
       }
   }
   return fname;
}
