Toggle Button States & Automation

[aralbar]

Hello friends,

Have a button that turns my plugin on and off. However, when automating this in a DAW, it shows up as a floating value (%100 to 1%).

Just wanted ON OFF states for my toggle automation. Is this achievable?

Tried a couple of things to no avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

@aralbar so buttons have a 0 or 1 value - what you are describing seems to be (at best guess) a slider...

@Lindon All parameters have a range of 0 - 100 I think, regardless of the control type. I recall it being brought up on the forum a while back.

so its a DAW issue then not HISE..?

@Lindon Maybe, I'm not sure

@aralbar You could just script some hard values.

inline function onYourButtonControl(component, value)
{
	if (value == 0) // Up
	{
		YourTarget.setValue(0); // or whatever value you want... 
	}
	if (value == 1) // Down
	{
		YourTarget.setValue(1); // or whatever value you need...
	}
};

Content.getComponent("YourButton").setControlCallback(onYourButtonControl);

But im curious.... What are you turning off that even accepts a value from 1-100 though? Any built in buttons only accept a value of 0 || 1as far as anything I've seen so far.

@Chazrox It's parameter automation in a daw.

Thanks all for responding and suggestions. Will try a couple more stuff and keep you posted.

I also thought that buttons had two states (0 or 1) but that isn't the case; at least from an automation parameter perspective.

I've definitely used a button not a slider and the automation values are all from 0 to 100. On above 50 and off below. Most plugins do allow ON OFF automation states so was trying to achieve that.
