[feature request] Preset browser search bar text in LAF

[d.healey]

@DabDab I think the LAF function is drawSearchBar - check the auto complete

[DabDab]

@d-healey OK.. will try tomorrow. good night

[Straticah]

@d-healey LAF requests, are the best!

[HISEnberg]

@d-healey was this ever resolved? I can't seem to change the text or highlight colour in the search bar of the preset browser.

[d.healey]

@HISEnberg Not sure, did you try drawPresetBrowserSearchBar?

[HISEnberg]

@d-healey yes that's what I have been using but the drawText doesn't work and even trying to reset the size of the search bar via scripting instead of using the property editor data is a bit buggy. I will post a minimal snippet later on, perhaps it's a bug or needed feature request.

@d-healey

The documentation doesn't state that you can edit the text property of the search bar, but I doubt I am the only one who has tried to do this.

Here is the snippet

[HISEnberg]

@Christoph-Hart is it possible to change the text displayed in the search bar or the preset browser? Also the highlighting colour?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Maybe a job for CSS?

[aaronventure]

@d-healey is it possible to mix and match? text entry is one thing that could benefit from it.

I have been playing around with comboboxes lately and I caught up with your and Chris' talk on item height, which resulted in a unique function for LAF that just wants a return of the height instead of processing any graphics methods.

So maybe this can be done for text entry: the function just wants a return of a JSON object with various properties much like the ModalTextInput method which can be customized.

CSS and LAF? Yeah.

[Christoph Hart]

Yes the preset browser is definitely a strong contender to be customized with CSS (everything from positioning the columns to styling the scroll bars is covered by the current feature set of the CSS renderer so I just have to hook it up and assign custom class selectors to the elements of the preset browser), but I'm not sure how much you can do with the current state.

Alright, here we go:

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Oh nice!

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart You know the parameter dump thing you added for modules, what about a css selector dump for components?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey There's already a CSS debugger. If you've assigned a CSS LAF to a component you can right click and use Show CSS debugger, then you'll see this:

Current variable values:
{
  "bgColour": "#55FFFFFF",
  "itemColour": "#66333333",
  "itemColour2": "#FB111111",
  "textColour": "#FFFFFFFF"
}

you can right click

Where do I right click, on the component?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey interface designer in edit mode.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Perfect, thank you

[HISEnberg]

@Christoph-Hart nice thank you for adding this! Personally I'm a tad rusty on CSS but it's fantastic that this is now integrated.

I always tell myself that if I improve my skills I could be more useful to the community.

Best,

Hisenberg
