ExternalWidget in scriptlet is not allowed? (5.1.1)

Scripting with Gig Performer
1

An example of using an ExternalWidges in a scriptlet is shown in the manual

var ExW : ExternalWidget

    W   : String

 

//Called when a NoteOn message is received

On NoteOnEvent(m : NoteMessage) 

 W = GetUserVariable("MyVar")

 if BindWidget(ExW, W) then

  SetExternalWidgetValue(ExW, 1.0)

 end 

End

But an error occurs when compiling

Scriptlet (Script Entity: Scriptlet) - owned by rackspace: Rackspace_0 - Semantic error in “Main”: Line 21, Col 7: Type not found: ExternalWidget

What is wrong ?

Really in a scriptlet?
Can you show the example?

3

I followed the manual , there is an example but doesn’t work

4

You are right, is not working.

5

Where is this example? ExternalWidgets are only allowed in rackspace scripts

The manual says

Now you can use this example script to set widget values from this scriptlet:

Hmm, not sure what happened here - I have those mechanisms commented out for scriptlets but I don’t have a notation as to why but I suspect we decided that it was just not a good idea for scriptlets to know about widgets

Just to inform of a misunderstanding, because I wanted to know if it was possible to write a label in a widget from a scriptlet and I found this information

Additional information found as I wanted to check that functionality, too: the scripting manual also mentions this ability for scriptlets.
