@ulrik Why do you need the value in the laf? Is it for styling purposes?

Yes

@d-healey that's not working in my Hise

Which version are you using?

Yes

Well if you have the list of items in an array and you know what the selected text is, you could use indexOf to find the value.

I can't get the local look and feel to work, I guess I'm doing something wrong...

Oh you're right! Looks like there is a bug - @Christoph-Hart

What about using a combobox?

I would like to avoid that

[d.healey]

@ulrik Isn't it the same from a user's point of view?

[ulrik]

@d-healey So the local look and feel didn't work for you either?

[d.healey]

@ulrik No it doesn't get triggered for me.

Yes maybe, but I have to rearrange a lot...

[d.healey]

@ulrik Aha I see :)

[ulrik]

@d-healey thank you for taking the time.

[Christoph Hart]

Why aren't you using a local look and feel? It's better and faster if you don't have to lookup the id and branch, but just assign each component the look and feel function that it needs.

Scroll up :) Local LAF has a bug and doesn't work here.

Yes I would but, as David says it seems to be broken.

@ulrik @d-healey I wrote and posted a patch a while back that takes care of all this.

[d.healey]

@clevername27 Got a link?

[clevername27]

@d-healey It's in one of my forum posts, I don't remember which. A search should do it? Let me know.

EDIT: This was the thread, but it doesn't seem to start at the first post?

New Feature (Probably?) Adds Full Component Access in LAF

There's didn't seem a way (that I can see) to access a component's properties directly when referenced in an LAF function—you can only use LAF-specific ones...

Forum (forum.hise.audio)

Here ya go –

@clevername27 Does this fix the problem of local laf not working?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey It's not not working, it just doesn't propagate the drawPopupItem method to the popupmenu (which is a different component).

I'll need to manually propagate the look and feel to the popup menu, I'll check how to approach this best...
