      Hey folks, in my current project I have an interactable switch selects between 3 soft bypass paths in a switch node. I also have a status indicator LED filmstrip graphic set up as a knob that is linked to the interactable switch.

      My issue is if I "disable" the LED knob, it stops it from being interacable but it also dulls the graphic. So what's the best way to have my graphic follow the selection of the switch without the user being able to also use the LED to control the selection?

      I guess a secondary concern, I would actually prefer the user to be able to just click the switch to toggle between states instead of them having to drag it, but buttons only have two states I think, so I stuck with a slider. Again is there a better way to go about this?

        Place an invisible panel over it.

        Either use LAF to make a custom button with as many states as you want - storing the "state" in a variable.

        Or use a panel and do the same thing.

          or a knob with three states
