How to link two controls?

[Albany]

Hi,

I'm trying to link two controls together, a slider and a numeric, so that if I change the value of one control, the other will also show the new value.

Does anyone knows how to do that? Is that even possible?

Thank you for your help

Right click on your slider.  In the menu go to Visibile Items->Digital Display.

rt click control,create local....connect other "control"

Hi apok,

what do you do to also modify "slide" when "numeric" is changed?

Using the digital display of the slide is much more easier - and fail safe…

atleast exactly this is the topic of the thread: "How to link two controls?"

i would use an event case for the 2 controls...

Hi apok,

so you would through even more code for something that already is available in the control itself?

That behaviour is called "Rube-Goldberg"… 😄

A slider and its digital display are two linked controls, exactly as requested. Tim's answer is correct and appropriate. No code needed. 🙂

You can "link" as many controls as you want this way, have a look at this old example with eight linked controls (and a single terminal!). (posted here)

That's different.  Usually Christian shows me yet another, more efficient way, to code something.  Well, I guess you can't get more efficient than no code.
