Expansion ComboBox + Populate with Weblink

[d.healey]

@DanH Why not add the permanent entries to the end of your array when you're populating the combo box?

@d-healey ok thanks, I can add things into the array - how can I make them at the end? Currently they appear at the top of the list. Here's my code

const var expansionNames = ["test"];

expansionNames.push("FACTORY");

for(e in expHandler.getExpansionList())
    expansionNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);
    
//const var ExpansionSelector = Content.getComponent("ExpansionSelector");
ExpansionSelector.set("items", expansionNames.join("\n"));

// Implement the expansion switch

inline function onExpansionSelectorControl(component, value)
{
	local expansionToLoad = component.getItemText();
	
	// We want the first item to reset the current expansion
	// so we need to change it to an empty string
	if(expansionToLoad == expansionNames[0])
        expansionToLoad = "";
    
	expHandler.setCurrentExpansion(expansionToLoad);
};

Content.getComponent("ExpansionSelector").setControlCallback(onExpansionSelectorControl);

Array.push() - video on Patreon ;)

@d-healey I have a feeling it was me who inspired you to make said video

@d-healey Not sure this is suitable actually - If I select the new option it makes the behaviour of selecting expansions not work on the next selection (as in when you go to select an expansion).

@d-healey trying to follow your expansions video but i dont have the option in juce for HISE_ENABLE_EXPANSIONS. the closest thing i have is HISE_USE_CUSTOM_EXPANSIPN_TYPE. im using the most recent hise develop build and juce 6.1.6

@argon

That's video is quite out of date now.

You can add that option as a preprocessor definition:

@d-healey sweet thank you i do have that added. i dont see the file browser in the sampler workspace. do i need to enable that somewhere?

[d.healey]

@argon A lot has changed since that video was made. The file browser is in the left hand side bar of the latest version of HISE. It's the Project Directory tab.
