SetWidgetReference

The functionality provided by GUIKit has been superseded by the interface construction and controls functions native to the built-in Wolfram Language.

SetWidgetReference[name,value]

registers a widget with string name in the widget registry for the current interface.

Details and Options

  • To use SetWidgetReference, you first need to load GUIKit using Needs["GUIKit`"].
  • SetWidgetReference is used to define or replace an associated string name with a given widget within the widget registry of the current script or when used with a GUIObject.
