Check for System control

[g_sures]

Hi all,

Is it possible to find whether the control in the front panel is system or classic using any properties?

Thanks in advance,

There is a private property for this, called Style ID. It's available with scripting. Here's a snippet.

Thanks a lot francois. Is it possible to get the data type from that ID, or we need to have a look up table?

Hi Suresh

Some examples include:

You can get the Class by this node and infer the datatype:

Or if you have the data you get the Datatype like this:

For datatype, Jon made good suggestions.

For the styles, you'll need to create a look-up table.

This "Style ID" will discriminate between System style, classic and modern... but I'm sure that the ID will change between Boolean, Combo Box & Numerics. If you want a universal look-up table, you should consider using scripting to create it: that's another question.
