Sample code summary
This sample code is used to demonstrate some practical applications of the scripting interface. Here a few of
the major intentions of the script:
•
To provide a simple real-world example of creating a user interface with multiple components and controls.
•
To show how certain controls such as sliders and edit text boxes can interact.
•
To show how radio buttons work and how to set radio buttons to true and initialize them.
•
To show a multi-line text edit box as displayed in the messages panel of the dialog box.
•
To show how you can associate static text fields with edit text fields and static text with other types of
controls.
