dynamic - How can I create a custom control which evaluates to a list of values or replacements?

I have a set of variables which are used in various places in my calculations (solving a system, initial conditions, etc.). In order to make this easier to deal with, I want to make a control-like thing which makes them easier to manipulate, rather than just using long lists of unlabeled values such as

calculateValues[{0, 0, π, 0.5, 3}]

So far I have something like this:

This clearly doesn't work, and I expect in order to get it working properly I'll need to use Interpretation or more Dynamic incantations, but I can't figure out exactly what needs to happen. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer

You could do

myControl[varNames_List, start_: 0] := 
 myControl[varNames, ConstantArray[start, Length@varNames]]


myControl[varNames_List, start_List] := 
 Interpretation[{vars = start}, 
  Panel[Grid[{varNames, 
     Array[InputField[Dynamic@vars[[#]], 
        FieldSize -> {{0, Infinity}, 1}] &, Length@vars]}]], vars]

Now you can run that function to create a control myControl["a"~CharacterRange~"g"]. Each instance will have its own values and they all evaluate to their values when supplied as input
