In article <1992Aug3.192211.7570@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU>, wsh8z@kelvin.seas.Virginia.EDU (William Scott Heyman) writes: > Is there any way to set the ranges on the widgets used in the "control > panel" part of mbuilder? > > I want a dial or slider which goes from 0-10 instead of 0-100. > Thanks > Will Heyman > UVA Applied Math > wsh8z@virginia.edu There are three "modes" that widgets take on when you're modifying them with the Control Panel Editor ( whether its from DataScribe, Module Builder, or Module Groups in the Map editor ). They are something like the following : * UNSELECTED - the widget's title ( provided it has one ) is gray, and the widget isn't outlined in black. In this mode, the widget is not modifiable. * OUTLINED IN BLACK, with title grayed out - in this mode, you can interactively move the widget ( by grabbing the widget anywhere inside the black outline except the lower right hand corner ), or resize the widget ( by grabbing in the lower right hand corner of the outline ). This mode is obtained by clicking the pointer over the widget. * OULINED IN BLACK, with title also in black - in this mode, you can change the limits for dials and sliders, or the widgets default vaule. If you double click over the widgets labels ( numbers ) the text entry field should turn inverted ( black background, blue numbers given a default configuration ), at which point, you can enter in any new value. Press ENTER to make the value stick. Hope that helps. Thanx, Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Shreiner <shreiner@sgi.com> Silicon Graphics, Inc.
