Hi there,

Is there a way to show the text values of Values{2} in the GUI instead of there numerical values ?

Thank you in advance

Not sure if this is what you're looking for ;

! Parameter Script

values{2} "option1" 1, "Option_txt1", 2, "Option_txt2", 3, "Option_txt3"

! 2D Script

text2 0, 0, PARVALUE_DESCRIPTION("option1")

HTH.

No, not this.

When you use ui_infield for a parameter that have it's values defined by values{2}, the fields will only show it's integer numeric values. while the pop-up will show it's text values.

I think someone here said the way to achieve this, but can't find the thread

I'm thinking of "ui_custom_popup_infield". It can show different contents in UI, one for pop-up and another in the field. But the parameter should be string (not integer) and it cannot have value list (values{2}).
