[MonoTouch] Monotouch dialog help needed.

[Nic Wise]

Keep a reference to the FloatElement :)

outside the method:
FloatElement floatElement;

in the method you build the root with:

floatElement = new FloatElement(null, null, 0.5f);

> new RootElement ("Brightness"){
>
> new Section (){
>
> floatElement <---- not the new FloatElement(etc)
>
> }
>
> }

then, somewhere else:

float foo = floatElement.Value;

(might be .FloatValue, and you MIGHT need to call .FetchValue first! not sure)


I sometimes keep sections around, too, if I need to change them at
runtime (hide, show, add items etc). Seldom keep Root's around, as I
can usually get them easily.
