Can't reference inline function parameters in nested function body

[Chazrox]

@JulesV
like this?

I think you were just missing the quotation marks.

g.drawAlignedText("label", [a[0], 28, a[2], 20], "centred");

you could also declare label as a variable and then it would work without the quotation marks because you'd be referencing an object.

Which makes me think thats what you might be looking for but im not sure.

in that case you could:

const var myLabel = Content.getComponent("myLabel"); // outside of the function

local label = myLabel.get("text"); // add this after you add your combobox

[HISEnberg]

@JulesV Just for starters your paint routine shouldn't be placed in an inline function (that is what is producing the error message).

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly but a better format for applying the LAF here would look like this:

Content.makeFrontInterface(300, 200);


const var CmB = Content.getComponent("CmB"); // combobox reference
const rounddCBLAF = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();	

rounddCBLAF.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj)
{
	// Do Laf stuff here.
	
});

Content.getComponent("CmB").setLocalLookAndFeel(rounddCBLAF);

Are you trying to make a LAF for your combobox that can be applied to several comboboxes? David has a useful video about this regarding paint routines here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO-KOEcJRKo

It could look something like this:

Content.makeFrontInterface(300, 200);

const var CmB = Content.getComponent("CmB");
const var CmB1 = Content.getComponent("CmB1");

const var comboLaf = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();

inline function drawComboLaf(g, obj) // One inline function for the LAF
{
    local a = obj.area;
    local tx = obj.text;

    g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.itemColour1, 0.5));
    g.fillRoundedRectangle([0, 0, a[2], 27], 0.1);

    local c1 = (obj.hover || obj.clicked) ? obj.textColour : obj.bgColour;
    g.setColour(c1);
    g.setFont("Arial", (12));
    g.drawAlignedText(tx, [a[0], 0.15 * 27, a[2], 20], "centred");

    g.drawAlignedText("label", [a[0], 28, a[2], 20], "centred");
}

comboLaf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", drawComboLaf); // registerFunction outside of inline function

CmB.setLocalLookAndFeel(comboLaf); // Assign to multiple comboboxes
CmB1.setLocalLookAndFeel(comboLaf);

If you're using the factory function pattern then it's an acceptable thing to do. Here's an example from Rhapsody.

However it's probably a good idea to keep laf external to the factory function and just reference the objects.

Edit: Ah I just read the OP properly, so it's laf and not a panel's paint routine. Carry on.

[HISEnberg]

@d-healey Thanks for clarifying that terminology was a bit of a mystery to me, I wasn't aware of the factory method I have some homework to do!

@Chazrox @HISEnberg @d-healey
Thanks for the tips, guys. Very useful.

My aim was not to print the word "label". I asked how I could integrate the label variable into the ComboBox LAF.

inline function cbFctry(name, label, x, y, w, h)

So the label variable is "Types" here.

As previously mentioned, when I use this: g.drawAlignedText(label, [a[0], 28, a[2], 20], "centred");

I see: Can't reference inline function parameters in nested function body error.

[Chazrox]

@JulesV That was the second option I gave you. Create an object outside of your function and reference it within your function script. I also suggested using 'local' within your function to create the object.

[d.healey]

@JulesV The error there means that label is a parameter of your inline function but it's not in the scope of your laf function which is a different function.

What you can do instead is declare a label variable in the namespace, set this from within the inline function and reference it in the laf function.

[d.healey]

@JulesV Yes that's it, it can't be a const though because you can't change the value of a const. You can use a reg instead.

[JulesV]

@d-healey

reg variant can only be used inside the inline function. But this time there is another problem, when we want to clone the ComboBox, the last variable used is applied to all ComboBoxes.

In the below image, one CB should be "Types", the other one should be "Styles".

@JulesV said in Can't reference inline function parameters in nested function body:

Use local within inline functions. reg is for on init and namespaces.

However looking at your snippet it seems that the variable isn't visible within the laf function either.

So here's a better way to do it. Use the ID of the combo box itself, instead of calling them CmB1 and CmB2 we call it cmb followed by the label we want, e.g. cmbStyles. Then in the laf function we can remove the cmb part to get the label.
