Adding presets to a combobox

[Sampletekk]

If I want to add all presets to a combobox, cmbPresets, using the cmbPresets.addItem command, how would I do that?

@Sampletekk Loop over the list of presets and add them with that command.

Or you could use .setItems and the join command, that will only take one line and doesn't require a loop.

@d-healey How would I get the list over presets?

Found it!

const var x = Engine.getUserPresetList(); 
for (i in x)
    Console.print(i);

That prints the full path, that is "bank/Category/Preset", What should I do if I only want the preset name?

@Sampletekk Look up the string functions.

@d-healey You mean this: https://docs.hise.dev/scripting/scripting-api/string/index.html

[d.healey]

@Sampletekk Yes, in there is everything you need - and all you actually need are substring, lastIndexOf and possibly replace

And if you want to make it so you actually load a preset when choosing something in the combobox?

[d.healey]

@Sampletekk Engine.loadUserPreset()

Ok, I'm getting this:

It says that it doesn't exists, but as I see it, it does....

@Sampletekk FIle extension is missing

Yep, noticed that. Would you add that by concatenating a text-string?

[d.healey]

@Sampletekk Yes
