How can I set numeric skin variable?
Skin.SetNumeric(test,207) for ex. does not work.
And how can we read it back because there is no Skin.Numeric().
tried to achieve in this way:

PHP Code:

<control type="button">
            <label>$LOCALIZE[test]</label>
            <onclick>Skin.SetNumeric(test,207)</onclick>            
</control> 


but no help.

Thanks

Try Skin.String(...).

That is not working under $LOCALIZE:

PHP Code:

<control type="button">
            <label>$LOCALIZE[Skin.String(test)]</label>
            <onclick>Skin.SetNumeric(test,207)</onclick>            
</control> 


perhaps because $LOCALIZE expects integer but here it is string

Exactly. So you have to find another way until integer variables are supported.

There is Skin.SetNumeric( ) but not the Skin.Numeric( ) for reading that back, also Skin.SetNumeric( ) is not correctly defined as it always opens numeric dialog.

can we convert a string to numeric in skin?

Skin.SetNumeric(...) is the same as Skin.SetString(...). Only difference is that it opens the numeric dialog instead of the keyboard.

[slinuxgeek]

no no, Skin.SetNumeric(...) always opens numeric dialog even if we pass the 2nd argument which is not the case with Skin.SetString(...)

Still it sets only a string, no integer value and you can get the value with Skin.String(...).
