Edward,

Thanks for the useful information on the StringMode.

Can we also do this for FileParameter? We went through the javadoc but couldn't find a way to set the parameter to a FileParameter that shows the browse button.

Another trivial question is for showing the name of the port. Looks like we need to do more than adding a _showName attribute to the PortParameter to show its name. It can be done through the UI but couldn't find a way to do it in the actor code.

Thanks very much on advance,
Ilkay

All you have to do is call

        setStringMode(true);

on the PortParameter.  If you look at the StringParameter class, you
will see:

    public StringParameter(NamedObj container, String name)
            throws IllegalActionException, NameDuplicationException {
        super(container, name);
        setStringMode(true);
    }

The docs to this (very tiny) class say:

"This subclass is provided mainly
   so that string-mode parameters can be specified in MoML."

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to use the parameter part of a PortParameter as a StringParameter, meaning a parameter that I don't have to put quotes around the string.

Thanks,
Ilkay
