how can i use a Combobox to Switch panels

i am a Newbie!
How can i use a Combobox to switch panels?
( i am Already using buttons)

here is what i want to do
i want to to link this Combobox to an Existing Combobox already switching samplemaps
so everytime i switch Samplemap's it will also switch panels
a new panel with images and other Controls needed for this specific samplemap

i found this script written by David Healey using a Single Button to Switch Panels

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);

const var panels = [];

for (i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
panels[i-1] = Content.getComponent("Panel"+i);
panels[i-1].showControl(false);
}

var currentPanel = -1;

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
if (value == 1) {
if (currentPanel > -1) panels[currentPanel].showControl(false); //Hide previous panel
currentPanel = (currentPanel + 1) % panels.length; //Move to next index
panels[currentPanel].showControl(true); //Show panel
}
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

Nice name ;)

A combo box returns a value, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. You can use that value as the index in your panels array, just like I used the currentPanel variable to store an index. In your case you're using buttons already, so whatever index you're using just swap it for the value of the combo box.

The only thing you'll need to watch out for is combo box values start at 1 not 0.

LinuxVst

the Combobox values are not Numbers the are the actual samplemap name
let's say Drums, Guitars, Pianos

// Sample Maps Array //
const var sampleMaps = ["Drums", "Guitars", "Pianos"];

// Combo Box //
const var cmbSampleMap = Content.getComponent("cmbSampleMap");
cmbSampleMap.set("items", sampleMaps.join("\n"));

inline function oncmbSampleMapControl(component, value)
{
Sampler1.asSampler().loadSampleMap(sampleMaps[value-1]);
};

Content.getComponent("cmbSampleMap").setControlCallback(oncmbSampleMapControl);

};

this is the Part i Need to Create:

i need to create another Combobox

// Panels Array //
const var Panels = ["Drums-P", "Guitars-P", "Pianos-P"];

// Combo Box //
const var cmbPanel= Content.getComponent("cmbPanel");
cmbPanel.set("items", Panels.join("\n"));

inline function oncmbPanelControl(component, value)
{
// this is where i'm Stuck i do not know what to enter Here!
};

Content.getComponent("cmbPanel").setControlCallback(oncmbPanelControl);

};

cmbPanel will be linked to this cmbSamplemap
with the names Drums-P, Guitars-P & Piano-P
so when i use the cmbSamplemap combobox that is linked to the cmbPanel
i want it to switch the panels at the same time it Switches the Samplemaps

Thank You

Finally i am not going to use buttons i would like to have only Comboboxes!

@LinuxVst said in how can i use a Combobox to Switch panels:

the Combobox values are not Numbers the are the actual samplemap name
let's say Drums, Guitars, Pianos

yes the displayed values are these text items, but the returned value in the combobox callback is a number - the position the end user selected (starting at 1 not zero)

inline function oncmbPanelControl(component, value)
{
// this is where i'm Stuck i do not know what to enter Here!
// start by putting this:
    Console.print(value);
//.... and it should give you a clue...
};

Content.getComponent("cmbPanel").setControlCallback(oncmbPanelControl);

LinuxVst

i Do not Get it yet!
i am able to get the values of the Combo box

with Console.print(value); it gives me 1-2-3-4

but i do not know the inline function to get it to switch the panels
i tried with Panels.showControl(true) but it did not work it displays Unknown Function?

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);

const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");
const var Panel2 = Content.getComponent("Panel2");
const var Panel3 = Content.getComponent("Panel3");
const var Panel4 = Content.getComponent("Panel4");

// Panels Array //
const var Panels = ["Panel1", "Panel2", "Panel3", "Panel4"];

// Combo Box //
const var cmbPanel= Content.getComponent("cmbPanel");
cmbPanel.set("items", Panels.join("\n"));

inline function oncmbPanelControl(component, value)
{
Panels.showControl(true);
};

Content.getComponent("cmbPanel").setControlCallback(oncmbPanelControl);

};

Panels is an array. You need to provide an index to access the items in the array. For example Panels[0].showControl()

You can use the value you get from the combo box as the array index. Remember the combo box starts from 1 and the array starts from 0 so you will need to subtract 1 from the combo box value.

Hi David
thank You for The Help!
i do not Get it yet i am Really a Newbie!
Still Getting Unknown Function showControl
how do i create an index for the array?

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);

const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");
const var Panel2 = Content.getComponent("Panel2");
const var Panel3 = Content.getComponent("Panel3");
const var Panel4 = Content.getComponent("Panel4");

// Panels Array //
const var Panels = ["Panel1", "Panel2", "Panel3", "Panel4"];

// Combo Box //
const var cmbPanel= Content.getComponent("cmbPanel");
cmbPanel.set("items", Panels.join("\n"));

inline function oncmbPanelControl(component, value)
{
 Panels[0].showControl(true);
};

Content.getComponent("cmbPanel").setControlCallback(oncmbPanelControl);

};

d.healey

I didn't notice before but your Panels array only contains strings it doesn't contain references to the panels. Strings don't have a showControl method.

I think you'll find the arrays section of this video helpful:

LinuxVst

Thank You David but i already Looked at this Video
i even tried Changing strings to numbers 1-2-3-4
i have No Problems Getting the Values with Console.print(value)
i still get an error with showControl method
is it possible to Change Panels with a combobox?

You need to put the references to the panels into the array. At the moment you are just putting the names of the panels in the array.

So instead of this

const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");
const var Panel2 = Content.getComponent("Panel2");
const var Panel3 = Content.getComponent("Panel3");
const var Panel4 = Content.getComponent("Panel4");

You need this

const var Panels = [];
Panels[0] = Content.getComponent("Panel1");
Panels[1] = Content.getComponent("Panel2");
etc.
