Expansions / Combo Box + SampleMaps

@DanH said in Expansions / Combo Box + SampleMaps:

I was hoping that 'sampleMaps' would update when switching between expansions but it

It will if you use the previous example you posted

        local cx = expHandler.getCurrentExpansion();
        local xs = cx.getSampleMapList();

[DanH]

@d-healey I've done that (if that's what you mean). It feels like I need to push the list into 'sampleMaps' each time I switch expansion

[d.healey]

@DanH

I need to push the list into 'sampleMaps' each time I switch expansion

Instead of local xs = cx... you need sampleMaps = cx..

[DanH]

@d-healey hmmmm, getting the error:

Can't assign to this expression!

[d.healey]

@DanH Need more info.

[DanH]

@d-healey What would help?

[d.healey]

@DanH Seeing the error message :) What is the expression that can't be assigned?

[DanH]

@d-healey oh ha.... the expression is

sampleMaps = cx.getSampleMapList();

as suggested

[d.healey]

@DanH sampleMaps is a const, you can't overwrite a const.

[DanH]

@d-healey doh

[DanH]

@d-healey right, so now I need to get the factory sample maps back for the else statement, they currently stay in the expansion!

Is there a way to call 'factory' sample maps?

I've tried:

sampleMaps = Sampler1.asSampler().getSampleMapList();

[d.healey]

sampleMaps = Sampler.getSampleMapList();

Doesn't that work?

[DanH]

@d-healey yes, huge thanks!

@d-healey yes, huge thanks!

I just copied it from your earlier post :)

[DanH]

@d-healey still working this morning which is a relief

Back to the wrapper. I don't know where to begin doing this. Are there any examples?

[d.healey]

@DanH Yes, the scripting api in the source code is mainly a collection of wrappers. Also I did a video about about it, tinkering in c++ or something like that.

[DanH]

@d-healey Thanks David. Going the route shown in the video, I want to add the function to ScriptingApiObjects.h first. There's no obvious section for the preset browser to stick it into, it's mostly effects, modulators, tables etc.

Can I put it anywhere?!

[d.healey]

@DanH Catch me up again so I don't have to re-read the thread. What are you trying to do and why?

[DanH]

@d-healey no probs. I'm trying to make the Preset Browser display (rebuild?) the 'factory' user preset list when switching back from an expansion (using a combo box).

You suggested adding this function from PresetBrowser.cpp into a wrapper.

void PresetBrowser::rebuildAllPresets()

[d.healey]

I thought you already had the solution for this. Enable the expansion column and give it a width of 0 to hide it?
