Get "this" for current component in Global laf

[ulrik]

@ulrik If I remember right, obj.id returned "", but it was fixed some time ago, right?
But now it returns "" again

[d.healey]

@ulrik I don't think it was ever fixed. But there is one or two control types that return the id in obj. For the rest you just get the text.

What property of the control do you need?

[ulrik]

@d-healey what 2 types?
I need to get the component id, but it's ok if I could get the component text, then I could make a work around

[d.healey]

@ulrik I can't remember which ones (it may have been a dream).

In your screenshot you show you are getting the text. But why do you need to get the component id?

[ulrik]

@d-healey the text is the hovered text

[d.healey]

@ulrik Aha that makes sense. But still, why do you need the ID? If you let me know what you want to achieve I might be able to suggest a workaround.

Also why are you using global and not local?

I need to get the panels value

I can't get the local look and feel to work, I guess I'm doing something wrong...

[ulrik]

@ulrik If I could use the local LAF it would be no problem I guess, to get the component value or other properties

@ulrik Why do you need the value in the laf? Is it for styling purposes?

[ulrik]

@d-healey that's not working in my Hise

Yes

Well if you have the list of items in an array and you know what the selected text is, you could use indexOf to find the value.

Oh you're right! Looks like there is a bug - @Christoph-Hart

What about using a combobox?

I would like to avoid that

[d.healey]

@ulrik Isn't it the same from a user's point of view?

[ulrik]

@d-healey So the local look and feel didn't work for you either?

[d.healey]

@ulrik No it doesn't get triggered for me.

Yes maybe, but I have to rearrange a lot...
