menu, and return a different
value to the one shown in the
selected menu entry. For
example, to show a Yes / No
Boolean menu, but return 0 or
1, map the numbers 0 and 1
to the string menu entries Yes
and No.
Constant (No Animation)
• Can be True or False. If True, values entered in the
widget are keyable.

without function.

• Used to add or delete entries from the pop-up menu, and
set mapping. Add entries by selecting Add > New Entry.
Each entry has two fields, the field displayed in the pop-
up menu, and the field returned when the menu option is
selected. The field displayed in the menu is the leftmost
one.

depending on whether the
box is checked or not. Used as
a value in conditional
arguments on other widgets
(such as Conditional Visibility,
and Conditional Locking).

TeleParameter A parameter that references
another parameter. The UI

parameter. In practice this
means that a TeleParameter
takes on a variable type
matching the dropped
parameter.
