Editbox Control

Overview

Editbox Control

Discussion

An Editbox Inspector Control sets a variable to the real or complex value typed in the text box. The variable is set when the user hits enter.

The mapping property can be used to map the editbox value to module variable directly (linear), or by converting with db20 or undb20 functions.

The modVar property must be set to point to a module variable. See the ParamSet module for more detail on modVar formatting.
