multi-column comboboxes -> HISE crashes constantly

[Oli Ullmann]

@Lindon Yes, I have commented out the code and pressed “compile” several times. It no longer crashes. But the tip with the correct notation is good. I'll try it out right away and let you know if it has fixed the problem. Thanks to you. :-)

@Oli-Ullmann You can probably simplify this a lot with something like the following:

const var sampleMaps = Sampler.getSampleMapList();

const cmbSamples = Content.getAllComponents("cmbSamples");
populateComboBoxes();

inline function populateComboBoxes()
{
	for(c in cmbSamples)
	{
		c.set("items", "");
		
		for (s in sampleMaps)
		{
			local firstSegment = s.substring(0, s.indexOf("_") + 1);
			c.addItem(firstSegment.replace("_", "::") + firstSegment);
		}
	}	
}

It's probably not this code that is causing your crash, but something else, possibly related to the combo box. Try to recreate the issue in an isolated project.

@Lindon said in multi-column comboboxes -> HISE crashes constantly:

@Oli-Ullmann how do you know this is whats crashing HISE?

and

String.replace(var substringToLookFor, var replacement)

Unfortunately, it still crashes.

@Oli-Ullmann

and why not do the replace once(on the sampleMapList) and then update all 4 with "items"

const var sampleMaps = Sampler.getSampleMapList();

for (map in sampleMaps)
{
                       if(map.contains("Bass_"))
			    map.replace("Bass_", "Bass::");
			
			if(map.contains("Bell_"))
			   map.replace("Bell_","Bell::");
			
			if(map.contains("Brass_"))
			   map.replace("Brass_","Brass::");
			
			if(map.contains("Drum_"))
			   map.replace("Drum_","Drum::" );
			
			if(map.contains("FX_"))
			   map.replace("FX_","FX::");
			
			if(map.contains("Git_"))
			   map.replace("Git_","Git::");
			
			if(map.contains("Keys_"))
			   map.replace("Keys_","Keys::");
			
			if(map.contains("Lead_"))
			   map.replace("Lead_","Lead::");
			
			if(map.contains("Pad_"))
			   map.replace("Pad_","Pad::");
			
			if(map.contains("Plug_"))
			    map.replace("Plug_","Plug::" );
			
			if(map.contains("Seq_"))
			   map..replace("Seq_","Seq::");
			
			if(map.contains("String_"))
			    map.replace("String_","String::" );
			
			if(map.contains("Voice_"))
			     map.replace("Voice_","Voice::");
		}
}
Console.print(trace(sampleMaps));


const var sampleCombos = [Content.getComponent("cmbSamples1"),
                          Content.getComponent("cmbSamples2"),
                          Content.getComponent("cmbSamples3"),
                          Content.getComponent("cmbSamples4")];

for(c in sampleCombos)
{
		c.set("items", sampleMaps);
}

@d-healey
@Lindon

Thank you both very much! :-)
I will try out both suggestions.

[Lindon]

@Oli-Ullmann look at what you are getting back in the array sampleMaps after you've done the substitution, you are actually probably better off doing

if(map.indexOf("Bass_") == 0)

rather than

if(map.contains("Bass_"))

to make sure you are replacing one only occurrence

Dave's approach is even better...

[Oli Ullmann]

@Lindon Thank you!

[Lindon]

@Oli-Ullmann this is interesting:

const var sampleMaps = ["Bass_ONE","Bass_Two","Bass_three"];

const cmbSamples = Content.getAllComponents("ComboBox");

for (map in sampleMaps)
{
	reg firstSegment = map.substring(0, map.indexOf("_") + 1);
	reg secondSegment = map.substring(map.indexOf("_") + 1, map.length);
	Console.print(firstSegment.indexOf("_"));
	firstSegment.replace("_", "::");
	Console.print(firstSegment);
	Console.print(secondSegment);
}

replace isnt working....for me at least..

[Lindon]

@Lindon Ok here you go.. the best of Dave and me ...

const var sampleMaps = ["Bass_ONE","Bass_Two","Bass_three","Gtr_One"];

const cmbSamples = Content.getAllComponents("ComboBox");

for (map in sampleMaps)
{
	reg firstSegment = map.substring(0, map.indexOf("_") + 1);
	reg secondSegment = map.substring(map.indexOf("_") + 1, map.length);
	firstSegment = firstSegment.replace("_", "::");
	map = firstSegment + secondSegment;
}

Console.print(trace(sampleMaps));

populateComboBoxes();

inline function populateComboBoxes()
{
	for(c in cmbSamples)
	{
		c.set("items", sampleMaps.join("\n"));
	}	
}

[Oli Ullmann]

@Lindon Thank you very much! I'll try that out right away! :-)

[d.healey]

@Lindon Wrap it in a function to avoid wasting reg variables.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yes yes ....I know...Im lazy.

[Lindon]

@Lindon so here is it all wrapped in one function call

const var sampleMaps = ["Bass_ONE","Bass_Two","Bass_three","Gtr_One"];

const cmbSamples = Content.getAllComponents("ComboBox");

populateComboBoxes();

inline function populateComboBoxes()
{
	
	for (map in sampleMaps)
	{
		local firstSegment = map.substring(0, map.indexOf("_") + 1);
		local secondSegment = map.substring(map.indexOf("_") + 1, map.length);
		firstSegment = firstSegment.replace("_", "::");
		map = firstSegment + secondSegment;
	}
	

	for(c in cmbSamples)
	{
		c.set("items", sampleMaps.join("\n"));
	}	
}

@Lindon
@d-healey
Guys, it looks like it's working now. You are brilliant! :-) The solution was apparently to replace the text already in the sampleMap array.

Thanks a lot! If you're ever in Germany, I'll buy you a beer! :-D
