@Lindon Okay thanks I found it https://forum.hise.audio/topic/2834/layering-samples/9
I'm lost at the part about: " ComboBox.set("items", myPreferedList.join("\n"));"
What exactly is this doing?
its replacing the contents of the combo box with a list - the list itself its created when you select a category...
-
@Lindon Okay I get that. Now on that line I get this " Line 14, column 13: Unknown function 'set"
-
@D-Williams23 -so is ComboBox actually a combobox?
-
@Lindon Yes it is. It's compiled OK. How should I go about getting some actual values inside of the ComboBox? As it's empty now
-
@D-Williams23 look at the api for a combobox - there you will see "set"
so you can say
myComboBox.set("Attribute name", value);
look at the json for comboboxes and you will see:
{
"type": "ScriptComboBox",
"id": "OscilatorShapeA1",
"x": -6.0,
"y": -3.0,
"max": 9,
"parentComponent": "HolderPanel1",
"width": 94.0,
"height": 24.0,
"itemColour2": "3355443",
"textColour": "4290756543",
"itemColour": "3355443",
"bgColour": "16777215",
"items": "Sine\nTriangle\nSaw\nSquare\nNoise\nTriangle2\nSquare2\nTrapezoid1\nTrapezoid2\n",
"fontSize": 12.0
}so there's an attribute called "items", which contains a string, and the string is separated by newline characters ("\n") - so build a string with the values you want separated by newline characters and apply it to your combo box using set.
-
@Lindon That's cool! Gonna be using this a lot. Alright so, Now that I have these items inside of the ComboBox, how do i get that 2nd list to display?
-
@D-Williams23 what second list ?
if you mean you've used this to get a combo box with a list of categories,(lets call it categoryCombo) then you just repeat the exercise for the second list building a string based upon the value selected in categoryCombo
-
@Lindon Alright I understand exactly what you mean, but I just don't know how to write it in the Editor Lol. I'm still learning that part but I do understand the "why". Could you give me an example of this? I have both lists filled. I want to use this method for switching SampleMaps & also Switching the different Lfo Destinations.

the old post here on the forum is an example of this.
-
@Lindon Okay. Now that we have all of that. I think the last thing is that I want to separate the Categories of SampleMaps into Instrument Types. But the Samples I have recorded and mapped are all in Alphabetical Order. So as of now if I click a Bell name, it will play a Flute.
-
@D-Williams23 then re-oredr your list - your in charge.
-
@Lindon Right So I reordered the list . So the SampleMapsList order is ABCDE. I want A & D to get selected under the 1st Category so I have those names in the ComboBox. But when I select the "D" in the ComboBox it selects "B" from the SampleMaps. How do I reorder that?
