Haha dirty indeed. But it works!

I don't know why but the mouseDownX and mouseDownY values I get when clicking on the panel are always huge. So I'm using an X that's higher than my object width to trigger that? Idk man... haha

if (event.mouseDownX > 26) { //click on panel //first click shows menu, second hides menu } if (!event.hover && !event.mouseDownX) { //click off of panel that also hides menu }

@d-healey I seeeee! I'll start doing it like this. I've been using if statements alot because im comfortable but I can see that I may be complicating things in some situations. Thanks Dave.

@Chazrox its an AudioWaveform component, not using FloatingTile option to be precise.

@d-healey Done!

@Matt_SF it's a fairly recent addition

@d-healey makes more sense now thanks!

@d-healey got it! thanks

@rglides Thanks. This is super dope too.

@VirtualVirgin said in Questions about handling persistent data in panels:

Why would the value I set for the panel onInit then not be available?

After on init completes the value is overwritten by whatever the last saved value was, since you only ever set the value in on init the last saved value - a value set after on init - will be undefined.

Try it with a slider, set it's value in on init, hit compile and you will see the slider ignores the value you've set.

@VirtualVirgin said in Questions about handling persistent data in panels:

Does it mean that it cannot save values that are set onInit and that all of the values that it will restore must be entered dynamically through callbacks after onInit?

Yes

See this old thread for more details and examples - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/52/variable-persistence?_=1740706214240

@d-healey Nope, it's the only namespace in the project and it was just to have some nice prefixes on the constants. It feels like something with variable hoisting but I'll check properly later.

You might also simplify your code a little by using a helper function or two for your panel data management.

For example a generic function to set a property in your 3D array structure.

inline function setPanelData(panel, key, row, col, value) { panel.getValue()[key][row][col] = value; }

@d-healey
Good to know. Thank you @d-healey ! 😊

Slightly related, I've added an Object.keys function to the scripting API. Also works on arrays but will return an empty array in that case.

@d-healey I did it, broadcaster was the right tool!

@d-healey @ustk Thanks, guys!!!!

@ustk said in Having trouble with syntax for settings a panel value:

@VirtualVirgin

chordPadsPSArrays[i][j] = [];

This is a 3d array since your store an array into an already 2D array

Sure, at that point the 2D array becomes a 3D array. I'm jest referring to it that way as the address is 2D (rows, columns in this example).

You don't need a slash after the wildcard, and if you use forward slashes only it will work on all systems. Don't know about the lopp player though.

yeah that might work for you but as I say its at the very least unreliable for me, it might be cases of paths without {PROJECT_FOLDER} in them
