Default Questions regarding GUI

Hello

I am trying to build a very simple GUI. Here is what I am trying to do
1.) I hit a button to run a code (This is the part I have been able to do so far)
2.) I want to update the number value of a static text/edit box.. Basically when I run the code on hitting the button, I calculate a value. I want that value to be displayed on the GUI somehow.
3.) I want to make a checkbox. A particular piece of code in the model should only run when this checkbox is checked.

The documentation on GUIs is insufficient. I have not been able to get the concept of hotlinks/coldlinks. I could get what they mean in the model's GUI but how can I use them to make a custom GUI and how to write the code inside them. Call me dumb but flexsim's documentation is not exactly its strength in teaching a naive student like me !!

Hi,

You have already used the search function and an external search engine, before you asked for help?

You have not found the video tutorials.

Regarding your last question, you are not dumb. You have found the flexsim forum.

Hi Jorg,

Which search engine are you talking about ?
I had seen some videos on this post which has one less video than the link that you gave me http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...read.php?t=362

There is no example of how to use a hotlink in any of these videos. Coldlink is pretty simple to execute.
There is no example of how to use a radio box or a checkbox.

So my original questions are still unanswered
" When I run the code on hitting the button, it calculates a value that I store on a label called "avg_WTBS" in the queue called "BED AREA". I want that value to be displayed on the GUI somehow.
A particular piece of code in the model should only run when a checkbox/radio button is checked."
