DLL Component
We add the connectors in pairs in order to keep things simple and also because for Ruby Frame types you must have a matching input and
output.
You still have all the flexibility you need. If you need an input but not an output, just ignore the corresponding output and vice-versa.
Connector Types
The DLL component supports 9 FlowBotics Studio data types: Float, Int, String, Float Array, Int Array, String Array, Boolean, Bitmap and
Ruby Frame. With this subset you can do just about anything you need to.
When you create new inputs and outputs as described above, the type of connector added will be the same as for the previous one (or a
Float if you haven't added any yet).
To change the connector type, right-click on the input then choose the new type from the pop up menu. When you change the input type the
corresponding output will change accordingly.
Connector Labels
In order to make it easier to remember what each connector is for you can add labels. To do this first select the component then hold CTRL
and hover over where the input labels would go. You'll see the outline of an edit box appear.
Click in the box, type a label then hit return. The label will appear on the component. You can change the label in exactly the same way.
Use the TAB key to move between labels and edit several at a time.
