Parse getUserPresetList() output into 2d array

[d.healey]

@Morphoice said in Parse getUserPresetList() output into 2d array:

Engine.loadUserPreset(Engine.getUserPresetList()[value - 1]+".preset");

This is only going to work in the combo box's callback. In a label's callback the value will be the label's text.

[Morphoice]

@d-healey exactly, hence my question how I can get to load it in the label :) don't I need to do that there instead of in the combo? Or am I missing the point?

[d.healey]

@Morphoice If I'm understanding correctly you have the preset name in the label's text/value, so what about

Engine.loadUserPreset(value);

[Morphoice]

@d-healey just the preset name, not the full path to the preset, it needs the full path to load

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Isn't it a hidden label and meant to store the full path?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey if I understood lindon's approach correctly, the combo box is what's hidden, the label displays the name, at least that's what I got from his snippet

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Then I defer to Lindon.

@Lindon @d-healey I guess the text label could also be invisible and the combobox visible so I get the full path in the label callback

but if I call loadUserPreset there it just runs into a loop loading the preset and outputting hundreds of console messages until HISE crashes after a minute or so

const var Presets = Content.getComponent("Presets"); // The Combobox
const var CurrentPreset = Content.getComponent("CurrentPreset"); // The Label

inline function onPresetsControl(component, value)
{
	if (!value)
		return;

	local presetPath = Engine.getUserPresetList()[value - 1];
	CurrentPreset.set("text", presetPath);
	CurrentPreset.changed();
}
Presets.setControlCallback(onPresetsControl);

inline function onCurrentPresetControl(component, value)
{
	Engine.loadUserPreset(value+".preset");
	Console.print(value);
};
CurrentPreset.setControlCallback(onCurrentPresetControl);

if I put the loadUserPreset into the combobox callback it hangs compiling and crashes after a while too

[d.healey]

@Morphoice You need to disable saveInPreset for the component that is loading the preset, otherwise you get an infinite loop.

[Lindon]

@Morphoice so in your combobox callback that is setting the label -, you need a switch that says "hey time to load a preset", that the label (which is saveInPreset) reads and ONLY loads if this == true,
