Viewport Table Dragging

[oskarsh]

I am using a lot of tables in my Plugins for Sample Browsers to Pattern Players. Is there a way to support dragging?

In this example I am using a matrix of button. Currently I need to click on each button individually to select it, however I would like to be able to drag over a row of buttons in order for it to be selected.

Will I need to do a custom implementation using the Mouse Events Broadcaster?

Any advice is much appreciated!

Probably should use a panel for this - https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-in-hise/scriptpanel.html#a-buttonpack

@d-healey Just wondering when does panels start to create problems? In my example I would have 384 Panels each with all callbacks allowed.

The reason that I chose to use tables is that I can programmatically after onInit add new columns to it. Using panels in general require a lot of workarounds because you can only spawn them onInit. In this case this workaround is possible since I know how many panels there can be in total.

Thanks David!

Why so many?

@d-healey so when recreating the pattern player I got.

12 rows
32 columns

which are 384. I could also use on single panel and do some drawing inside and parsing the X Y position but I feel like this gets very complex very quickly. So using a panel for each "trigger" would be my way to go here.

@oskarsh One panel is all you need, it's very easy. Did you click the link I gave?

@d-healey Sorry the link completely slipped my sight! This looks very promising and exactly like what I need. HISE keeps blowing my mind!
