[JW Lua] SetMeasurement

[Jari Williamsson]

Chris,

Yes, the comma needs to be supported as a decimal separator for numbers 
as well. I'll look into it.

However, for input dialogs you don't need to convert measurements 
manually, unless you want a specific input measurement. Instead, use the 
"Measurement" input type. This script would do basically the same thing:

---
local dialog = finenv.UserValueInput()
dialog.Title = "Test"
dialog:SetTypes("Measurement")
dialog:SetDescriptions("Variable")

local varEVPU = 200
dialog:SetInitValues(varEVPU)

returnValues = dialog:Execute()
if not returnValues then return false end
print(returnValues[1])
---


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
