Customize Midi Learn and Macro Panel

[d.healey]

@dabdab I don't think there are any look and feel functions for the MIDI Learn panel so you'd need to do it through C++.

[DabDab]

@d-healey OH.. No prob. :) Tweaking C++ is easier to me than writing Javascript. I am very bad in Javascripting :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@dabdab

The strings for the right click menu popup are "drawPopupMenuBackground" and "drawPopupMenuItem"

eg:

laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuBackground", function(g, obj)
{
    g.setColour(0xFF222222);
    g.fillRoundedRectangle([0, 0, obj.width, obj.height], 4.0);
    
    g.setColour(Colours.lightgrey);
    g.drawRoundedRectangle([0, 0, obj.width, obj.height], 4.0, 1);
});

});

Yup I know. But I want to change Min Max Slider Type, and Menu names (Source,parameters etc) & Button.

@dabdab Ah sorry I misunderstood, I think David's right there

Thank you @Tania-Ghosh for helping me to modify the C++

@DabDab That looks great! :-)

Could you show which code has to be changed and how, to get influence on the “source”?

I would like to change the name from the real button name to one I have defined.

If I am not mistaken, I would have to change the code in the file “FrontendPanelTypes.cpp”, correct?

Thank you very much
Oli

You can do so, however you can achieve using LAF

const var laf = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();
const var FloatingTile1 = Content.getComponent("FloatingTile1");
laf.registerFunction("drawTableHeaderColumn", function(g, obj)
{
  g.setColour(Colours.darkgrey);
  g.fillRect(obj.area);
  g.setColour(Colours.orange);
  g.setFont("Arial", "15");
	if(obj.text== "Source")
	{
	   g.drawAlignedText("Hart", obj.area, "left");	
	}
   if(obj.text== "Parameter")
   {
    g.drawAlignedText("David", obj.area, "left");	
   }
   if(obj.text== "Inverted")
   {
    g.drawAlignedText("Ustk", obj.area, "left");	
   }
   if(obj.text== "Min")
   {
    g.drawAlignedText("Ulrik", obj.area, "left");	
   }
   if(obj.text== "Max")
    {
     g.drawAlignedText("Lindon", obj.area, "left");	
    }

});

FloatingTile1.setLocalLookAndFeel(laf);

This is an old school script however you can shorten the script by operators. Other people might help on that. I am not good at it.

“FrontendPanelTypes.cpp”,

Thank you for your example!

Unfortunately, I did not express myself correctly. I don't want to change the heading but the actual parameter name.

I think I have to edit the C++ code to do this, don't I? Do you know how and where?

I have attached a picture for clarification. I have framed the parameter that I would like to change in red.

Something along these lines:
if(obj.text==“Button1”)
{
g.drawAlignedText(“Cutoff”, obj.area, “left”);
}

Only in C++ at the correct place in the correct C++ file

Thank you
Oli

@Oli-Ullmann why don‘t you just change the text property of the button?

[Oli Ullmann]

@Christoph-Hart Because I already use the text property elsewhere in the code. For example in the LAF object. I would have to change a lot in the entire code. But thanks for the hint! Next time I'll keep that in mind from the start! :-)

Can you tell me where I have to change what in the C++ code?

Thank you very much! :-)
