I think others may have misunderstood your question (or maybe I have) but as
long as your top level forms are declared globally and you have assigned names
to all sliders / input fields etc that you want control over then it is
relatively straightforward.
For example, if your main form is called "mainForm" and your control form is
called "controlForm" (both globally visible), when you click the "Clear" button
on your control form the callback for the "Clear" button will be called. In
this callback put all your default reset commands such as :-
fl_set_object_label (mainForm->textbox, "Default Text");
fl_set_slider_value (mainForm->slider,0.0);
(apologies if format not quite correct - check the manual for these calls !!)
and similar for sliders, dials, xyplots and all the other objects.
If the "Update" button is clicked the callback for the "Update" button will be
called. In this callback simply copy from the control form to the main form
such as :-
fl_set_object_label (mainForm->textbox,
fl_get_object_label (controlForm->textbox));
fl_set_slider_value (mainform->slider,
fl_get_slider_value (controlForm->slider));
and similar for sliders, dials, xyplots and all the other object.
Hope this helps - I had to do a similar thing for a parameter page with lots of
sliders and check boxes.
Cheers,
