I am trying to use a control dashboard and an edit box to set a global string variable. The documentation says I should be able to do so. Only global numeric variables show up as options. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's a sample model. First, you need to set the global variable as a string type.
Link the edit button to the global variable node in the model tree under the tools parent node. When linking using the sampler, it will not show the path till the end data node. You need to manually add the path, as shown in the pic below.
Then in the on-apply trigger of the edit button you need to execute either one of the following codes
treenode link = node("..>objectfocus+", c); // link variable to the treenode
Variable1 = link.value;//Updating the global table value
or
treenode link = node("..>objectfocus+", c);// link variable to the treenode
refreshglobalvariables();// command to refresh all global variable
This will update the string global variable, whatever values you insert in the edit field.
