Hello

In my application i need a button to write the value 1 to a target variable when it's pressed and 0 when it's not. I found that for this i have to use the ValueButton widget, but the problem is that i dont have such a widget in my palette. Also i tried to use the toggle button but in properties there is no value field, just like in the simple button widget .

What can i do?

Thank you

You can try using the Button widget and handle the onclick event for the button to call a DSS script to write to the target variable. This would need to be done using javascript and not directly within the widget properties.

This thread has a similar question that should help point you in the right direction.

There are also several GUI examples in the Gallery. Many of these use javascripts to extend the widgets (an interesting one with several widgets and custom javascript files is mmWave_Demo_Visualizer) so you could use these as a reference as well when developing your GUI.

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for response.

I will try this later, but isn't there a way to find ValueButton widget? Why I don't have this widget in my pallete if it's mentioned on this page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GUI_Composer_Widgets_And_Properties#ValueButton ?

Thank you

The documentation on the wiki page you referenced is for GUI Composer v1 which is different than the online GUI Composer v2. This introductory page about GUI Composer compares v2 with v1: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:GUI_Composer.

The widget offerings are a bit different in v2 compared to v1.
