[kepler-users] Port parameter like "combo box" - do we have something like this in Kepler

[Christopher Brooks]

I may be confused here, but doesn't ChoiceStyle do this?

http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII8.0/ptII/doc/codeDoc/ptolemy/actor/gui/style/ChoiceStyle.html

(BTW - About dynamic comboboxes, see: 
https://lists.eecs.berkeley.edu/sympa/arc/ptolemy-hackers/2008-07/msg00010.html)



$PTII/bin/vergil 
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII8.0/ptII/doc/codeDoc/ptolemy/actor/gui/style/ChoiceStyle.html 
uses it in the AudioCapture actor:




SoundSpectrum.xml contains:
> <entity name="AudioCapture" 
> class="ptolemy.actor.lib.javasound.AudioCapture">
>         <property name="sampleRate"

>             <property name="style"

The way this appears in the model is that 
$PTII/ptolemy/actor/lib/javasound/javasound.xml has similar code so that 
in Vergil, when the actor is dragged in, the choices appear.

I'm not sure how this would work in Kepler.
