Downloadable macro reference

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetValue
Get the current value from the scale. Will be either the most recent value set by "SetValue", or, if set to "Control" mode, the latest mouse clicked value. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png SetValue
Set the value for the scale. If a pointer object is defined, it will move to point at the new value. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Value
Value to set - will be constrained to the minumum-maximum range. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png SetLabel
Set the text of the component's label. 
Fc9-string-icon.png - STRING Text
New text to set. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png SetRange
Set new maximum and minimum values for the scale. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Minimum
The minimum value of the scale (Bottom of the component) 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Maximum
The maximum value of the scale (Top of the component) 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return



Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Pointer
Sets an object to act as the pointer for the scale. If in 'Display' mode, the pointer will move to show the incoming "SetValue" numbers. In "Control" mode, it will act as an object for setting the value using mouse clicks/drags. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Track
An object to represent a 'track' parallel to the scale upon which the moving part travels. If the scale is resized or moved, the 'track' object will also be scaled or moved. For example, the 'track' object could be a simple black rectangle to represent the 'slot' in which a slider control moves. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Orientation
Whether the scale and/or motion should be along the X-axis (horizontal) or Y-axis (vertical) 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Function
Set the mode of the component... Display - the pointer object moves only when a value is set using the 'SetValue' macro. Control - the pointer can be moved using the mouse to set a new value, which can then be read using the 'GetValue' macro. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Style
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Resolution
Determines the amount of detail in the scale graphics - larger values will require more memory and/or loading time etc. 
Fc9-type-2-icon.png BG Color
Colour of the background object. 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Positive Color
Markings colour for positive scale values. 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Negative Color
Markings colour for negative values.
