Tips

To avoid possible non compatibility when you want to change the label of an entry widget, it is fully recommended to use the setNameInConfigurationFile() method. For example :

real  = new GEntryReal("Real:", 0.);

... will correspond int he XML saved file to the following line :

<R

</syntaxhighlight>

So, if you decide to change the label in "Double" rather than "Real", the content of the XML file will be now :

<Real name="Double:">0.0E0</Real>

... and the previous saved files will be no more readable.

On the contrary, if your code is the following one:

real  = new GEntryReal("Real:", 0.);
real.setNameInConfigFile("value");

... the content of the file will be :

<!--Real:-->
<Real name="value">0.0E0</Real>
