Last hurdle: Does anyone know how to make a simpler drop down menu that displays the user presets?

[Delamere]

@d-healey I have set this up, and the ComboBox shows the User Presets. But when you select a preset, it says it doesn't exist and doesn't load like it does in the PresetBrowser. Any idea why?

Show me your code. I suspect the file path is wrong.

@d-healey

Content.makeFrontInterface(260, 50);

const var Preset_Browser = Content.getComponent("Preset_Browser");

inline function onPresetSelected(component, value)
{

    local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText();
    Console.print(Selected_Preset);
    Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset);

}

Preset_Browser.setControlCallback(onPresetSelected);

inline function updateUserPresetList()
{
    local User_Presets = Engine.getUserPresetList();
    Console.print("User Presets: " + User_Presets.join(", "));
    
}

updateUserPresetList();

@Delamere well at the very least you will need to add ".preset" to the end of your file name.

local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText() + ".preset";

[d.healey]

@Delamere Where's the part where you populate the combo box?

[Delamere]

@Lindon Thanks for the reply.

When adding + ".preset"; It Crashes Hise?

[Lindon]

@Delamere show us the output from this

Console.print(Selected_Preset);

[Delamere]

@d-healey Is this right?

Content.makeFrontInterface(260, 50);

const var Preset_Browser = Content.getComponent("Preset_Browser");

inline function onPresetSelected(component, value)
{

    local Selected_Preset = component.getItemText();
    Console.print(Selected_Preset);
    if (Selected_Preset.length > 0)
    Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset);

}

Preset_Browser.setControlCallback(onPresetSelected);

inline function updateUserPresetList()
{
    local User_Presets = Engine.getUserPresetList();
    Console.print("User Presets: " + User_Presets.join(", "));  
    Preset_Browser.set("items", User_Presets.join("\n"));
    
}

updateUserPresetList();

@Lindon with the code that I replied to @d-healey with, it says: API call with undefined parameter 0

Not sure, post a snippet so I can see exactly what you're doing

@Delamere Disable saveInPreset on your combo box.

And you need to add +".preset" as Lindon suggested

Engine.loadUserPreset(Selected_Preset + ".preset");

[Delamere]

@d-healey @Lindon

Great it works, cheers guys.

[d.healey]

@Delamere I should have said, it's the saveInPreset thing that was causing your crash because it created an infinite loop. The preset would load which would trigger the combo box callback, which loads the preset, which triggers the callback, which loads the preset, which goes kaboooom!

[Delamere]

Is there a way to change the maximum height of the ComboBox drop down so it becomes scrollable & doesn't cover the whole GUI.

[d.healey]

@Delamere Not that I'm aware of

[Chazrox]

@Delamere use a viewport and check 'useList' then you can populate it and use it just like a combobox, so you can set a max height and utilize the scroll-bar feature.

[rglides]

@Chazrox Oh I didn't know about this, very handy! Thanks man!

[Chazrox]

@rglides I just found this not too long ago and now im gonna replace MY comboboxes that were through the roof.
