Description
The dollar parameters of a reference can be queried using this CTRL function. This function is only to be used under Windows (Module GEDI, panel for reference configuration). The panel for reference configuration opens with the script openRefParamPanel.ctl.
Example
The following example creates a simple reference editor. The editor contains a text field that displays the $parameters of the reference. Furthermore, a closing button with closeDialog() will be provided. Define this panel as reference editor for any panel containing $parameters (property: RefDefPanel). Inserting the panel with the dollars in another panel opens the simple editor and displays your $parameters. The following script runs in the background of the text field (Initialize).
main()
{
int x;
string refName;
dyn_string dollars, values;
x=getDollarParams(refName,dollars,values);
y=setValue("","text",dollars);
DebugN(refName, dollars,x);
}This function is used by the default reference editor. The parameters will be displayed in a table and after defining the values, the function setdollarParams() sets the values.
