Customize the text content in the pop-up window？

[Felix W]

Can I customize the text content in the pop-up window? I've tried many methods, but none of them have worked.

	const glblaf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();
     
	glblaf.registerFunction("drawAlertWindow", function(g, obj)
	{  
		if (obj.text == "The sample folder was relocated, but you might need to open a new instance of this plugin before it can be used."){
				obj.text = "The sample folder was relocated, please reload.";	
		}
		g.drawAlignedText(obj.title, obj.area, "centred");	
	});

@Felix-W you need to draw it yourself rather than replacing the value in the variable

I've tried many things, but none of them worked. I also couldn't find a solution in the HISE documentation.

	glblaf.registerFunction("drawAlertWindow", function(g, obj)
	{  
		g.fillAll(0xFF333333);
		var a = [0, 0, obj.area[2], 30];
		g.fillRect(a);
		g.setColour(Colours.white);
		g.drawRect(obj.area, 0.3);
		g.setFont("myhtw17", 22.0); 
		if (obj.text == "Do you want to save this preset?")
		{				
			obj.text = "Do you want";										
			g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, a, "centred");	
		}
	});

@Felix-W obj.text doesn't exist, I just checked Console.print(trace(obj)); So at the moment you're out of luck, I'll see if there is an easy fix in the source for this.

I can't see a clean way to access it in the look and feel function. JUCE doesn't make it available from what I can tell.

@David-Healey Okay, this makes me .

but Thank you anyway, this saves me from wasting any more time.

@David-Healey What about setting it with preprocessor definitions?

#ifndef HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TITLE
// Override this in your build settings (preprocessor definitions)
// Example:
// HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TITLE=Samples ready
#define HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TITLE "Sample Folder changed"
#endif

#ifndef HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TEXT
// Override this in your build settings (preprocessor definitions)
// Example:
// HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TEXT=Samples found. Please reload the plugin once.
#define HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TEXT "The sample folder was relocated, but you might need to open a new instance of this plugin before it can be used."
#endif

Function that draws the text would be changed to use the new defs instead of hardcoded text:

if (handler.areSampleReferencesCorrect())
{

  // PresetHandler::showMessageWindow("Sample Folder changed", "The sample folder was relocated, but you might need to open a new instance of this plugin before it can be used.");
  PresetHandler::showMessageWindow(TRANS(HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TITLE), TRANS(HISE_SAMPLE_FOLDER_RELOCATED_ALERT_TEXT));
}

Or do we have too many undocumented preprocessor defs already?
