Radio Buttons Tab Controls || Tabs overlapping on INIT.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey Thanks! Yeah I havent learned broadcasters yet. When Im done with this one im gonna do a deep dive on some new methods.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey if I type the panels and buttons list manually, is this correct?

//! SWITCH PANEL CONTROLS 

const var switchPanelsList = [


"pnlFeatureStrum"
, "pnlFeaturePluck", 
"pnlFeatureArp", 
"pnlEditMode"
];
const var switchButtonList = ["btnStrumEnable", "btnPluckEnable", "btnArpEnable", "btnNormal"];


inline function switchPanel(button)
{
	for (i = 0; i < switchButtonList.length; i++)
	{
		switchButtonList[i].setValue(switchButtonList[i] == button);
		switchPanelsList[i].showControl(switchPanelsList[i] == button);
	}
}

//! EDIT MODE ENABLE BUTTON CONTROLS
inline function onbtnNormalControl(component, value)
{
//	if (value)
//	{
//		pnlEditMode.showControl(true);		
//	}
//	 else
//	{
//		pnlEditMode.showControl(false);
//	}

	switchPanel(component);

};
Content.getComponent("btnNormal").setControlCallback(onbtnNormalControl);



//! PLUCK ENABLE BUTTON CONTROLS;
inline function onbtnPluckEnableControl(component, value)
{	
//	if (value)
//	{
//		PnlFeaturePluck.showControl(true);
//	}
//	else
//	{
//		PnlFeaturePluck.showControl(false);
//	}

	switchPanel(component);
};

Content.getComponent("btnPluckEnable").setControlCallback(onbtnPluckEnableControl);

const var pnlFeatureStrum = Content.getComponent("pnlFeatureStrum");
//! STRUM ENABLE BUTTON CONTROLS
inline function onbtnStrumEnableControl(component, value)
{
//		if (value)
//		{
//			//btnStrumNatural.setValue(1);
//			//btnStrumNatural.changed();
//		//	btnStrumNatural.set("enabled", 1);
//			//btnStrumReleaseMode.set("enabled", 1);
//			pnlFeatureStrum.showControl(true);
//		}
//
//		else
//		{
//			//btnStrumNatural.setValue(0);
//			//btnStrumNatural.changed();
//			//btnStrumNatural.set("enabled", 0);
//			//btnStrumReleaseMode.set("enabled", 0);
//			
//		//	pnlFeatureStrum.showControl(false);
//		}

	switchPanel(component);
};

Content.getComponent("btnStrumEnable").setControlCallback(onbtnStrumEnableControl);

//! ARP ENABLE BUTTON CONTROLS
inline function onbtnArpEnableControl(component, value)
{
	if (value)
	{
		Arpeggiator1.setBypassed(false);
	//	pnlFeatureArp.showControl(true);
		knbStepRepeat.changed();
		SliderPack1.sendRepaintMessage();
		SliderPack3.sendRepaintMessage();
		
	}
	else
	{
		Arpeggiator1.setBypassed(true);
		
		//cmbArpType.setValue(1);
		cmbArpType.changed();
	//	pnlFeatureArp.showControl(false);
	}
	
	switchPanel(component);
};

Content.getComponent("btnArpEnable").setControlCallback(onbtnArpEnableControl);

if im passing 'button' in the switchPanel function, is it conflicting that the button callbacks are sending 'component'?

Im getting no action.

@Chazrox said in Radio Buttons Tab Controls || Tabs overlapping on INIT.:

Yeah, but it's better to name them in a way so you don't have to do that.

@Chazrox said in Radio Buttons Tab Controls || Tabs overlapping on INIT.:

if im passing 'button'

button is the name of the variable that the function uses, it doesn't matter that the variable in the callback is called component.

What do you suggest since I cant change that now?

[d.healey]

@Chazrox said in Radio Buttons Tab Controls || Tabs overlapping on INIT.:

Why not?

[Chazrox]

@d-healey too many things watching the states of these buttons. I'd have to chase down every mention of these.

They dont have functions in callbacks but I have features with if statements watching these like...

if (btnArpEnable)....

if (btnStrumEnable)....

and all of that works fine so I dont want to change it. Im already done with the project. this is the last stupid bug I have to fix. panels overlapping.

[d.healey]

Find/replace can do this.

But it's not going to hurt your project to do it manually as you are, it's just more work, and harder to maintain in the future - or as you've found out, right now ;)

[Chazrox]

@d-healey idk how to use FindReplace in that way. I tried something like that before but it didnt go well.

So are you saying theres no other way to just write an array manually with my buttons and panels with their unique names?

i REALLY dont want to change their names.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox Yeah with the names you're using you'll need to write them manually, but the code you posted above looks fine.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey ok. I got them scripted, only two of them are working properly and the others are giving '.setValue' errors. They are declared above so they should be seen. Can you look at this please.

Excuse my comments, im not deleting anything until I get this working.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox I don't know which lines those errors are referring to in the script you posted.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey

errors here @ .setValue

	for (sb = 0; sb < switchButtonsList.length; sb++)
	{
		switchButtonsList[sb].setValue(switchButtonsList[sb] == button);
		switchPanelsList[sb].showControl(switchButtonsList[sb] == button);
	}

The other paired error on each call is the swithPanel(); function in each button. No other errors showing.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox So that means one of the buttons in your array isn't actually a button

[Chazrox]

@d-healey

They definitely are tho...

They arent a knob or a slider for sure.

[d.healey]

@Chazrox It would work if they are knobs. That error is saying that it's not a valid component. Are you sure you have a reference to all of those buttons in your script?

You can Console.print(switchButtonsList[sb].getId()) within the loop and see at which point the error occurs.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey

I got it,

one of the declarations was further down the script.....BIG FOREHEAD SLAP!
Slap me please. lol

Ok, now I have to do it for another set of 4 buttons
here we go! lol.

Thank you for sticking it out with me!

//! LEARNED SOMETHING HERE

[Chazrox]

@d-healey I got the other group working too. Thank You! That was a doozie. Im gonna name related panels and buttons for these use cases accordingly. I like doing this this way instead of radio button feature. That thing always glitches.
