Selecting a Widget
Display

Some slot types have multiple widget configurations that can be selected from
the Widget Type Menu. For example, a text
entry slot can have either a TextFieldWidget or a TextAreaWidget. A Boolean slot
can have either a CheckBoxWidget (as shown above) or a ComboBoxWidget. A Symbol
slot can have various widgets, including a ComboBoxWidget or an
ImageMaptoSymbolWidget. By experimenting with these widgets, you can learn how
to use them to get the desired display.
You can also remove a widget from the form by hiding it completely, or
redisplay a hidden widget.
