Script missing LAF element

[MikeB]

Since this can't be changed via LAF, how can I script this?

[d.healey]

@MikeB Settings.getMidiInputDevices() and Settings.toggleMidiInput() are the functions you'll need.

[MikeB]

Sorry David - I know you mean well but:
There is neither in the ApiCollection, nor in the complete forum, nor in the documentation
an example for Settings.getMidiInputDevices() or Settings.toggleMidiInput()
So what should I do with it?

[d.healey]

@MikeB Are you using the latest scriptnode version?

[MikeB]

@d-healey
Version 2.1.0
7 Mai 2021
Build 650

[d.healey]

You need to update, I didn't add the MIDI devices stuff until about May 15th.

[MikeB]

Ok thanks I will update
But that doesn't explain the function either, does it?

[d.healey]

@MikeB Yep I added comments to all the functions

[MikeB]

Thanks David - This looks good - now I just need a few examples how to use one or the other
and I'll program my own settings window :-)

PS: a little patreon video maybe?

[d.healey]

@MikeB You only need those two functions + your GUI, probably radio buttons but you could do it with panels, combo boxes, or sliderpacks, whatever you prefer.

I just added LAF support for the MIDI channel list :)

I still need to test it and I'll make a pull request tomorrow.

[d.healey]

I've added a pull request to the Scriptnode branch for this now.

[Lindon]

@d-healey - could you do one for the midi device list too? Asking for a friend...

[d.healey]

@Lindon That's already there ;) it's a list of toggle buttons (as is the channel list). If you check the obj.parentType in the LAF togglebutton function you can filter out the Midi Sources buttons.

[Lindon]

@d-healey - oh yeah - obviously - how silly of me...once its in the scriptnode branh could you ddo a quick demo of what you do to make it work?

[d.healey]

@Lindon Midi sources is already in scriptnode, I didn't add it.

const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();

laf.registerFunction("drawToggleButton", function(g, obj)
{
    if (obj.parentType == "MidiSources")
    {
        obj.value == 0 ? g.setColour(Colours.darkgrey) : g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "left");
    }    
});

[MikeB]

@d-healey
but the Midi-Channel List is in your scriptnode?
On your page?

[d.healey]

It's in this branch - https://github.com/davidhealey/HISE/tree/channelListLAF - just waiting for @Christoph-Hart to merge it.

[MikeB]

Ok i can wait

The question is rather where to merge it in
I hope in "scriptnode" and not in
"scriptnode_codegen_rewrite"
or in both

[d.healey]

@MikeB I've made the pull request on the scriptnode branch.
