Change Combo Box Items With Buttons

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey I'm trying to load 300 maps into various samplers using categories instead of huge drop down lists to make the UI more intuitive for the end user.

I confirm I couldn't find a way to refresh the combobox elements neither...

[d.healey]

@Tod-Slaughter Why not use the preset browser?

Because it's a mix and match elements style plugin rather than a fixed architecture

Thanks for trying my friend. How's that vst3 export going?

We're on it

@Tod-Slaughter I think @Lindon did a similar thing and made his own preset browser using viewport + panels.

Do you think it might be possible to use multiple combos attached to each sampler?

[d.healey]

@Tod-Slaughter Not sure what you mean. If you mean have multiple comboboxes that the user can use to select a sample map for a particular sampler then yes.

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey yes that. I guess the last touched combobox would set the current samplemap

[Lindon]

you can reset the contents of the combobox by setting items to ""

Not sure how that'll help?

Yep it's ugly, that's why David's approach is better
With two comboboxes, you keep the last selection existing in the hidden combobox, so you can quickly switch between two samplemaps from different categories. That's the choice I would make...

Combobox1.setValue(1); :smiling_face_with_halo:

[ustk]

@Tod-Slaughter yep, but this way you force the first samplemap of each category, it's an extra step that can annoy the user who wants to quickly switch between, let say, "D" & "J", but maybe it is not important in your design...
