multi-column comboboxes -> HISE crashes constantly

[Oli Ullmann]

@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.

[Lindon]

@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
