I semi-retired the machine that I did that on. I have our systems guy bringing it back up. I'll let y'all know.

I am certainly very interested in what you described. Could you please provide access to your BXDX widget model? Feel free to e-mail me directly. Thanks Suhaib ------------------------------------- Please respond to opendx2-dev@lists.berlios.de Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ibm.

You push a button in the DX manager window, and the callback editor appears. You type in code that pulls the file name from the widget that comes in as a parameter, and calls DXLink to send it to the NamedInput in the net. A button compiles it and a button installs it. Edit the file selector dialog. Find the correct callback resource, and type in the name of the one you just coded. You do the same for a slider widget - create, compile and install a callback that extracts the value from the slider widget and sends it to the named input of the net. Put it in play mode. It all works - even the area message, that is automatically routed to the correct widget by the infrastructure. If people are interested, I might be able to put the pieces together for a show-and-tell. Greg Please respond to opendx2-dev@lists.berlios.de Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ibm.

Is the BX Pro feature still exists or can this code be activated again?
