You should use a coldlinkx node and get/set the HorizontalLength property of the conveyor.
Object conveyor = Model.find("StraightConveyor1");
string property = "HorizontalLength";
if (eventdata) {
conveyor.setProperty(property, getviewtext(c).toNum());
repaintall();
} else
setviewtext(c, conveyor.getProperty(property));
Here's an example model, ConveyorLengthGUI.fsm
Thanks. I had a question on the code. Why did you use eventfunctions in the tree? What does on kill focus do?
The code in OnKillFocus is fired when the field loses keyboard focus (after you type something in and then click off). The eventfunctions node is just a node to contain all the code function nodes that the field uses. You don't need it in this case, but there are some cases where the function node has to be under an eventfunctions node to be called.
