[Inconsistency] drawToggleButton obj doesn't contain the id property

[d.healey]

@aaronventure Why do you need to?

[aaronventure]

I am.

        const var settingsButton = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();
	settingsButton.registerFunction("drawToggleButton", function(g, obj)
	{

The llaf object is then assigned to a control. The obj parameter in drawRotarySlider has an id property so I can write graphics like they know what control they're drawing.

@d-healey
I declare my controls using a parameter object where I define all kinds of things that aren't in the default component properties list. Here's an example

const var vol = Control.createSliderNative(
	{
		"id": "Vol", 										
		"fullName": "Vol", 							
		"min": -100,										
		"midPoint": -12,									
		"max": 0, 										
		"defaultValue": -12,							
		"stepSize": 0.01,
		"xCenter": UI.WIDTH/2, 										
		"y": UI.SETTINGS_FIRST_Y + counter * (UI.SETTINGS_CONTROL_SPACING + UI.SETTINGS_CONTROL_HEIGHT), 											
		"width": UI.SETTINGS_CONTROL_WIDTH, 										
		"height": UI.SETTINGS_CONTROL_HEIGHT, 										
		"prefix": "",									
		"suffix": " dB", 					
		"offText": "-Inf.",				
		"displayDecimals": 1,											
		"fontSize": UI.FONT_SIZE_CONTROLS, 
		"fontType": UI.FONT_TYPE_CONTROLS,		
		"enableAutomation": true,							
		"lookAndFeelObject": LookAndFeel.settingsSlider, 	
		"mouseAnimator": [0.2, 30],
		"clickAnimator": false,
		"passiveAnimator": false,									
		"parentComponent": false, 
		"enableMidiLearn": false,
	});

I use displayDecimals to determine how many decimals are displayed in the value, as well as how many are displayed when a user attempts value edit by double clicking. Prefix and offText are self explanatory. I can use xCenter instead of x to position a control that way. Enable automation sets up multiple things in the back.

This entire object is stored in ControlProperties[id] so that they can be accessed from anywhere. I can only access them if I know the ID.

The animators each create a timer with counters and make the alpha accessible using a function getMouseAlpha(component). As these are stored in separate objects in the Animation namespace and are component-specific, I need the ID to access them.

It all works great using the obj.id property for the slider.

Before you say I can just use the panel, I would love to, but its daw automation is not implemented completely and the mess my workaround makes in the component list is annoying, so I'm looking for alternatives.

I was doing this kind of thing in a project. My trick was to write it in the component's text property as a json string, then I could parse that in the laf.

component's text property

yeah that's a workaround, then just refer to the property that I passed for full name.

@d-healey Nice, let's hope Chris merges it after he comes back next week.

[d.healey]

@aaronventure If you have your own fork you can pull it in or use my fork, if you need it now.

[aaronventure]

@d-healey haha i'm not that deep in yet, my HISE modifications are limited to one macro and a few preprocessors in projucer, which I just stash and reapply on every pull.

but I'll do the same modification, it really is just a single line.

@aaronventure I can merge pull requests from anywhere in the world. The power of the internet.

It's just the doc generator that I have setup a local script on my studio system with SSH access etc. that I was too lazy to setup on my Macbook.

[aaronventure]

@Christoph-Hart ha you know what I meant.

thanks
