I have a GUI spun up that uses number boxes and I tried to store there values in the Flash memory area...

I keep getting this error...

Not sure why... Do I need to read the control values to some other variable then store the other variable..?

CTRLVAL is a function/command so I expect that you do have to use a true variable for saving.
You can use an array.

Hi Jim;

Jim

I don't understand this?
I can't find CTRLVAL in the manual?
Would you explain further please?
Thanks!

Interacting with Controls

Quote Interacting with Controls
Using the following commands and functions the characteristics of the on screen controls can be changed and their value retrieved.

= CTRLVAL(#ref)
This is a function that will return the current value of a control. For controls like check boxes or switches it
will be the number one (true) indicating that the control has been selected by the user or zero (false) if not.
For controls that hold a number (eg, a SPINBOX) the value will be the number (normally a floating point
number). For controls that hold a string (eg, TEXTBOX) the value will be a string. For example:
PRINT "The number in the spin box is: " CTRLVAL(#10)

CTRLVAL(#ref) =
This command will set the value of a control. For off/on controls like check boxes it will override any
touch input and can be used to depress/release switches, tick/untick check boxes, etc. A value of zero is off
or unchecked and non zero will turn the control on. For a LED it will cause the LED to be illuminated or
turned off. It can also be used to set the initial value of spin boxes, text boxes, etc. For example:
CTRLVAL(#10) = 12.4

Redrock, as Jim said above, it's in the separate Addendum here . You may have missed that because it's in the main Micromite section of Geoff's site, not the Micromite Plus section.
