ipcPARAM Values?

[ark1320]

Does the ipcPARAM parameter value supplied with a key or button assignment have to be an integer, or can it also be a decimal value?  Can it be a string?

Thanks,

Al

 

EDIT:  From what I can tell, ipcPARAM has to be an integer.

Correct. It's just a 32-bit value ("DWORD").  If you want to use a value with fractional parts, depending on the range you need, I would use a decimal multiplier on the value you need before entering it in the assignment, and divide it by the same in the plug-in. 

I'm afraid strings aren't possible in this context.

Good idea, thanks!
