Switching question.

[lalalandsynth]

I am wondering what is the best approach to do this kind of switching .
I need to have each button switch the whole image strip for all buttons (would not look right using individual images for each buttom) and leave the images as not enabled so they are "transparent" to the mouse cursor.
And no Image at all on the actual knobs ...meaning no blue dots of course.
I also need to use these buttons to switch impulses.

Just wondering if I should make one filmstrip of all of them and then use some sort of index from the buttons or do each individually ? I guess I would need to index the buttons to switch impulses anyway ?

Any pointers or methods ?

@lalalandsynth You can place a panel on top of the buttons and draw the filmstrip inside:
UPDATE: WRONG SNIPPET

You don't care about the blue dots if the panel is above
You need to set the panel to disablelike in the snippet the mouse click is not affected...

UPDATE: buttons were in the wrong order...

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk Great , testing that !
Would you suggest then using that index to switch the impulses as well or do that separately ?
I am getting slightly better at this but get confused pretty quick when I need to combine functions.

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth Wait a minute, my snippet doesn't seem to work...
Yes you can set the reverb using this idx, but in this case I'd prefer to use another variable like:

reg revIdx;

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
    if (value){
        revIdx = btns.indexOf(component);
	Panel1.repaint();
    }
};
for (b in btns) b.setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
    // set filmstrip offset
    this.setImage("myFilmstrip", 0, revIdx * this.getHeight());
});

What do you mean , in the interface or the script ?

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth in the script declaration...
I don't know what happened but I wasn't able to paint the panel so I restarted Hise and it works

[lalalandsynth]

This whole scripting thing is such chinese to me sometimes

[lalalandsynth]

ok, so this says it does not find the image in the project folder.

// MultiButtonSwitch

const var btns = [Content.getComponent("Button6"),
                  Content.getComponent("Button5"),
                  Content.getComponent("Button4"),
                  Content.getComponent("Button3"),
                  Content.getComponent("Button2"),
                  Content.getComponent("Button1")];

                  
const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");

Panel1.loadImage("{PROJECT_FOLDER}/switchStrip.png", "myFilmstrip");


Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
	// set filmstrip offset using this.data.idx
	this.setImage("myFilmstrip", 0, this.data.idx * this.getHeight());
});


inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
    if (value){
	    Panel1.data.idx = btns.indexOf(component);
	    Panel1.repaint();
    }
};
for (b in btns) b.setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth Ok, I was TOTALLY WRONG!
No need for a paint routine...
Here's something that works
It's normal for the image error, you need to place yours inside the folder and change its name...

@lalalandsynth Exactly

Awesome , , thanks so much mate !!
