Question on creating a parameter input window

Post by AlexTsevuh » Wed May 28, 2025 3:33 pm

Hello, Tom!
I am studying Screen Editor.
I want to press a button to open a window and enter data as done, for example, in “Edit Fixture Offsets”.
Then I want to transmit it via UART. How to make transmission via UART - it is clear.
But nowhere found an example of how to make a window for entering parameters. If there is a video, please provide a link.

Hi Alex,

The Screen Editor doesn’t have the capability to open multiple windows. But you might switch to a new screen to enter your data, send it, then switch back to the original screen.

Here’s a video of an included example switching between 3 screens

Thanks for the reply. But I meant to call an input window like the one in the picture I sent you.
Create a window with its own input fields

Well like I said make a Screen like that.

Here is an Add.scr example that has 2 edit input controls.
