Adding variable to the NT code, to show in the parameter list

oldhiker · 12-06-2011, 05:51 PM

I can add a new variable into the NT script and use it within the main code, but I cannot modify the script so that the new variable shows in the indicator properties window, so that I can change it without having to go back into the script and change, compile and reinstall.
I have tried to do this on several occasions, succeeding only to wreck the script and I have to start over again.
This oldhiker would appreciate some help. Thank you

oldhiker, I have replied in our other thread with a simple example how the property code structure would look incorporating this GUI... snippet you wished to use.
