I am trying to make a float box only give whole numbers, but of course setting the numberdecimalplaces to zero gives you the full 32bit float range instead of actually limiting you to zero places.

Is this possible, or am I going to have to hack a regular int box in to providing a float?

i guess that you can edit whole numbers by clicking on its first number . u want to edit'em by mouse right ? but then u r resetting its decimal values

Why not use a 'regular' number box, or an int box before the float? Or drag the window so small it won't show the decimal places?

Are you trying to round off the display or is there a specific reason why you don't want decimal places?

Ah, using an integer box in to a float box is a much easier way to hack this out. Didn't think of that, thanks.

I'm building a little video recorder subpatch with user friendly controls and auto timestamp naming. jit.vcr wants a float for the frame rate, but I never use fractional frame rates (who needs NTSC any more?) and would rather the box always give whole numbers.

I also thought of just using a number box and adding a decimal after the %ld in a sprintf, but that feels a little too hackish to me.

Hrm, just realized a drop down with standard frame rates might make more sense all around.

yes, Rodrigo's solution seems the most elegant; but there's always [round 0.] too

zero decimal places in floatnum?
