Dear customers,

we're happy to share Widget Designer 6.5.5 with you.
It comes with many enhancements and new feratures as well as bug fixes.


OSC
We have completely overhauled the usage of OSC messages within Widget Designer. While there were only nodes before, you can now setup complex messages wihtin the configuration and send and receive those via TCP or UDP connections. Assigning aliases to OSC addresses and its parameters lets you use meanigful names within the scripting.

Checkbox Widget
We have introduced a new Checkbox Widget. The combination of the checkbox and a connected label allows to structure technical backends or to present information clearly.

Macro & Function editor
The Macro & Function editor used to have the ability to integrate parameters already. We have changed the interface and allowed for a description of your custom parameters and the script itself. This will then show up when using the macro in a script. It might also be directly useful for yourself, but especially if you return to site or when handing over a project to someone else.

ScriptAssist
As for the macros, we have enhanced the ScriptAssist to also guide you at members of devices and widgets, so the overall assistance is improved that you do not get lost in scripting tasks.

Textbox AutoScroll
Textboxes can now automatically scroll down to the last entry once they get updated, so that latest information is always visible.

CustomScriptButtons

CustomScriptButtons set to “Click”-mode do also execute their click script and change its state upon mouse down now. This ensures the same click behavior for both modes, “Click” and “Toggle”.

ApplyMasterLayout
Terra Master Layouts can now also be recalled from the WidgetDesigner.
