How do I handle multiple components and callbacks in app designer?

I am using the Knob and the Slider components in App Designer and I want to use a separate Edit Field box for each to display the values as I change them. I managed to use the callback function to do this for the Knob but when I try to do the same thing for the Slider, the value gets displayed on the same Edit Field box. I want to display the values on separate Edit Field boxes, rather than sharing the same one.

I am having the same problem with multiple Switch and Lamp combinations. I have 2 switches and a separate lamp for each of them but again, the two switches seem to be sharing the same lamp. How do I separate them?

Could you share the code of the callback function ?

Each component has its own name. You need to update your code to refer to the specific component. You can view the name(s) in the Component Browser.

In your case, you have componenets app.Lamp and app.Lamp_2, but your code only ever refers to app.Lamp. Update one of your callbacks to use app.Lamp_2.

The same thing is happening with your edit fields. You have componenets app.EditField and app.EditField_2, but your code only uses app.EditField.
