CustomData to store the value

marcinzm wrote on 12/6/2018, 4:01 PM

I have created such script:

function uuid()
{
var chars = '0123456789abcdef'.split('');

   var uuid = [], rnd = Math.random, r;
   uuid[8] = uuid[13] = uuid[18] = uuid[23] = '-';
   uuid[14] = '4'; // version 4

   for (var i = 0; i < 36; i++)
   {
      if (!uuid[i])
      {
         r = 0 | rnd()*16;

         uuid[i] = chars[(i == 19) ? (r & 0x3) | 0x8 : r & 0xf];
      }
   }

return uuid.join('');
}

var myObj = new Hashtable();
myObj["firstFieldRemember"] = '00:00:06;00';
myObj["secondFieldRemember"] = 1;

var guidek = [uuid()];

Vegas.Project.CustomData.SetObject(guidek, myObj);

Unfortunately the last line (Vegas.Project.CustomData.SetObject(guidek, myObj);) throws me exceptioin - type mismatch.

I know the problem is with guidek variable/object.

Can you help me how to create new guid object in jsx file?

I have tried many different guid object types but none of them compiled.

One I am sure that uuid generates me the hashed string with unique value. I checked it.

Please help, I cannot find any solution on forum and over the internet.

import System;
import System.Collections;
import ScriptPortal.Vegas;

var myObj = new Hashtable();
    myObj["firstFieldRemember"] = '00:00:06;00';
    myObj["secondFieldRemember"] = 1;

var guidek = Guid.NewGuid();

Vegas.Project.CustomData.SetObject(guidek, myObj);

Thank you altarvic for your answer. Now the code compiles, but unfrotunately after reopen the form, it still has the same values on the field.

Do I need to generate on every form reopen the same guidek value by Guid.NewGuid()?

I have the form, which SetObject on clicking OK on the form, but on start I use this:

var guidek = Guid.NewGuid();

var fetchedObj = new Hashtable();
fetchedObj["firstFieldRemember"] = '00:00:06;00';
fetchedObj["secondFieldRemember"] = 2;

fetchedObj = Vegas.Project.CustomData.GetObject(guidek);

    try
   {
       MessageBox.Show(fetchedObj["firstFieldRemember"]);
       MessageBox.Show(fetchedObj["secondFieldRemember"]);
   if (fetchedObj["firstFieldRemember"]!='')
   {
       dialog.CzasPodzialuValBox.Text = fetchedObj["firstFieldRemember"];
   }

   if (fetchedObj["secondFieldRemember"]>0)
   {
       dialog.LiczbaPodzialowValBox.Text = fetchedObj["secondFieldRemember"];
   }
   }
   catch (err)
   {

   }

Unfortunately the above code never return the valid (previously set) values on GetObject(guidek);

You must use the same GUID for reading that you wrote into the project.

GUID is a unique identifier of your data.

Guid.NewGuid() - this method generates a unique identifier every time it is called

No need to generate it in your code. Use GuidGen tool (or any online generator) and use.

I have been searching over the internet about GuidGen tool, but I cannot find any sample of usage. Could you help me.

How to create Guid object of the constant key?
Why there is no equivalent of Guid.NewGuid()?
When I try to code var guidek = Guid("my previously set key"); I got the error.

Is there something like Guid.Guid("key")?

marcinzm wrote on 12/7/2018, 1:09 PM

I have found something like https://www.guidgen.com/.

but it also generates key everytime I refresh the page.

I am not able to create the guid object of the constant key, because I don`t know how to create such Guid object based on the previously set key.

I have just tried to run such code:

var guidek = Guid.Guid('f75fe....-...................................................');

Type 'System.Guid' does not have such a static member.

So how can I generate the same key guid object every time I open the form?

marcinzm wrote on 12/7/2018, 1:15 PM

I got it:

var guidek = Guid.Parse('f75fe...-..........................................');

Thank you for your help and support.

Now it works. I am happy:)

That's the point of GUIDs

Once you've generated it - use its value in your code, example:

var guidek = new Guid("9C90E7B8-6105-46AB-9E87-4C852269DF32")
