Description

Sets the number that appears in a num box user control that is specified by userControlID.

Num boxes are text boxes that restrict their input and output to numerical values. The number expected is either a float or an integer. If createNumBox was used with the -flt flag, then all values are interpreted as floats. Otherwise, values are rounded down to the nearest integer (i.e. any decimal value will be truncated).

Examples

// Set the value on a Num Box User Control
int $windowId;
int $controlId;
float $val;
 
// First create a User Window to place the Control on 
$windowId = `createWindow "MyWindow"`;
 
// Create the User Control on the Window. 
$controlId = `createNumBox $windowId`;
 
// Set the value on the Num Box. Because the Num Box
// was not created with the -flt flag, we are really
// setting the value to be -10.
setNumBoxNum $controlId -10.75;
// Should be -10
$val = `getNumBoxNum $controlId`;
print $val;
