Script panel label keyboard entry?

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart Looks like CHRISmas came early.

Cheers, funky.

I did have it hacked together with the method I described earlier and the keyPressCallback to hide the label again, but this is so much cleaner and less prone to any buggy behavior (also it can take alignment, so I can actually have that pink background I always wanted), with plenty of other use cases as well beyond what I wanted.

Got it fully encapsulated with no issues. Happy to be able to pass relative parameters to it so that it adjusts to whichever control triggers it.

Alright, took another spin at it and I found the most embarrassing code typo ever that caused an infinite loop and crash when using the parentComponent property. Should be fixed now.

Here's a snippet that lets you open a text box for sliders (as soon as you set the sliderStyle property to "Horizontal" / "Vertical" you'll loose the text box so this brings it back with even more customization options:

const var textInputBroadcaster = Engine.createBroadcaster({
	"id": "text-input",
	"args": ["component", "value"],
	"tags": ["text-input"]
});

const var List = [Content.getComponent("Knob5"),
                  Content.getComponent("Knob4"),
                  Content.getComponent("Knob3"),
                  Content.getComponent("Knob2"),
                  Content.getComponent("Knob1")];

textInputBroadcaster.attachToComponentMouseEvents(List, "Clicks Only", "");

textInputBroadcaster.addListener("", "show textbox", function(component, event)
{
	if(event.shiftDown && !event.mouseUp)
	{
		var obj = {
			"text": Engine.doubleToString(component.getValue(), parseInt(Math.log10(component.get("stepSize")) * -1)) + " " + component.get("suffix"),
			"x": component.getGlobalPositionX() + component.get("width") / 2 - 30,
			"y": component.getGlobalPositionY() + component.get("height") / 2 - 12,
			"width": 60,
			"height": 24
		};
		
		var c = component;
		
		Content.showModalTextInput(obj, function[c](ok, input)
		{
			if(ok)
			{
				c.setValue(parseFloat(input));
				c.changed();
			}
		});
	}
});

I still don't see a text box.

@d-healey Hmm if I comment out the call to grabKeyboardFocus() I don't get an error but I still don't get an input box.

lmao

happens to the best of us

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey how does this happen? I don't hit that assertion, but it seems that it tries to add the text input to a component that isn't visible yet.

The entire system was not trivial to implement because you have to send a notification from the scripting thread to the UI which resides on a completely different data model, but I think I got all edge cases sorted out with the last commit (and it's working fine here).

@Christoph-Hart This is the snippet I'm testing with

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey Nope, works here. Might be a Linux thing. Can you check on another OS?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Yeah I suspect the same. I'll try it on my Windows VM.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Not working here on Windows, using latest develop branch

@aaronventure Does it work for you?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey Ok, but what do you do? I load up the snippet and can click on the button, then it will open a popup.

Are you testing in HISE or an exported plugin? Where's the UI - in the interface designer or another window. Do you have another floating window with the interface open?

Yes that's what I'm doing too.

Aha mystery solved. I was just in the interface designer. If I open the floating interface preview it works!
