Style Formatting

When using time or timemillis styles, the txt input should be a number (seconds). The node formats it and also provides separate minutes, seconds, and milliseconds fields.

How It Works

1. Each frame, work() checks if there's data to display or if clear is set.
2. If clearing, calls clearData() or setData({category, clear=true}).
3. Otherwise, builds a data table with title, text, category, style, order, and icon.
4. For time styles, formats the numeric input into MM:SS or MM:SS.mmm.
5. Sends data via ui_apps_genericMissionData.setData(data).
6. Sets mgr.modules.ui.genericMissionDataChanged = true to notify the UI.

Usage Example

-- Display a timer in MM:SS format:
-- title = "missions.missions.general.time"
-- txt = 93.5 (seconds)
-- style = "time"
-- Result: "01:33"

-- Display arbitrary text:
-- title = "Score"
-- txt = "1500 pts"
-- style = "text"

-- Clear a category:
-- category = "flowgraph", clear = true
ui_apps_genericMissionData.clearData()
