How to simplify GUI?

Hello,

I have create a GUI, and I want to know if there is any method to simplify the GUI.

Below is my GUI:

Each edit box correspond to a label in the processor. For example, the edit box after "PressRed: " correspond to the label called "pt" in the first red processor.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.9

In what way would you want to "simplify" the GUI? Easier setup?

For what purpose did you make the GUI. Do you want to change the processor labels before and/or during a model run or just show the current values?

Maybe a pull-down menu?

Or any way can let the GUI not be one box to one processor.

I did the GUI is for those who are using flexsim for the first time. They can edit the parameters to what they want whenever before or during the model run

You can have the list of presses in a group in the GUI and have the boxes update relative to the chosen press.

Have you considered having a CustomGUI which pops up for each press instead ? You link it to the press by setting the press's guifocusclass attribute to the path of your custom gui.

Are there any examples of doing this? Or can I find it in the user manual?

I know what are you saying but I don't know how to do that.

Thanks.

There's a section on creating GUIs here, but I don't know of any tutorials. Have a look through that section - and if needed copy an existing gui as it suggests, to find out how it works.

I have one more question:

If I have two dashboard, can I use the "Button" with red frame move the view from Dashboard2 to Dashboard?
