Utilizing the Smart Dashboard

1) How to put a button on the dash? (like putting up a command puts the button to run the command)

2) It seems as though the "Save" function only saves the layout of the values and not their value. When you load the robot, SmartDashboard.getNumber() throws a TableNoKeyAtIndex error (meaning that it has no data). Is it possible to make a setup where you open an xml setup and it will automatically send all of the values to the cRIO?

3) What exactly does the "Robot Preferences" widget do? I thought it could be used for #2 but it seems their keys cannot contain [s]strings[/s] spaces //E: the [s] BBCode isnt in this vBulletin?

4) How would i convert a BinaryImage to a Sendable so I can show the BinaryImage on the dash?

5) So.. on the dashboard... I can convert an integer into a progress bar. Is there a way to make it a slider bar so i can input data without converting to plain text?
