Floating Tile Button

@christoph-hart Can you please snippet the pop out preset browser like the one in hexeract?

[Christoph Hart]

Fresh from the source:

const var PresetDisplay = Content.getComponent("PresetDisplay");

PresetDisplay.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{

	g.fillAll(0xFF111111);	
	
	g.setColour(Colours.white);
	
	g.drawAlignedText(this.data.text, [0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()], "centred");
	
});

PresetDisplay.startTimer(200);

PresetDisplay.setTimerCallback(function()
{
    var text = Engine.getCurrentUserPresetName();
	
    if(text == "")
	text = "Init";
	
    if(this.data.text != text)
    {
        this.data.text = text;
        this.repaint();
    }
});

const var presetBrowserData = 
{
  "Type": "PresetBrowser",
  "Title": " ",
  "FontSize": 16,
  "ColourData":
  {
    "bgColour": "0xDD111111",
    "itemColour1": "0xFF46C0D8",
    "itemColour3": "0x3346C0D8"
  }
};

PresetDisplay.setPopupData(presetBrowserData, [PresetDisplay.getWidth()/2, 25, 800, 470]);

yay! Thx

@tod-slaughter I see no controls in your widget list and that function is part of the panel control class so you must have a panel on which to call that function. Basically the script Christoph gave you assumes there are some controls on your canvas, you'll need to create them manually.

@d-healey

I was just trying to test it to see how I could adapt it. Not sure what controls to add as this is called from a text "init" button on the interface of hexeract

[d.healey]

@tod-slaughter Well I can see that the control PresetDisplay has the setPaintRoutine function attached. So I would guess you need to add a panel called PresetDisplay. In fact that is the only control I see mentioned in Christoph's script.

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey Great I'll try that

[Christoph Hart]

Ah I forgot to enable mouse callbacks. Just add this line somewhere:

PresetDisplay.set("allowCallbacks", "Context Menu");

PresetDisplay.set("allowCallbacks", "Context Menu");

SWEEEEEEET!!!!

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey david I've followed you basic tabs example but it's initialising with tab3 instead of tab1 .

Is there a way to focus oninit? const var page1 = Content.addPanel("page1", 4, 174);

[d.healey]

@tod-slaughter If you set the saveInPreset property to true for the button you want to be enabled on init and all the others to false.

[Tod Slaughter]

@d-healey the man with all the answers

Hate to be picky, but that's not good advice. All controls related to UI handling (page swapping, making other elements visible, etc) must not have saveInPreset enabled, or the interface will do random things if you load user presets.

Instead, leave saveInPreset to false, and call setValue() for the given control directly in the onInit callback:

const var page1Button = Content.getComponent("page1Button");
const var page2Button = Content.getComponent("page2Button");
const var page3Button = Content.getComponent("page3Button");

page1Button.setValue(1); // or whatever logic you need
page1Button.changed();

[Tod Slaughter]

The boss in the house. Thanks as ever @Christoph-Hart and @d-healey

page1Button.changed();

How to set the page? This just sets the button.

[Christoph Hart]

Not sure how you've setup your controls, but this should also fire the callback of the button which triggers the page swap.

[Tod Slaughter]

@Christoph-Hart
David's method works fine, your method sets the button but it doesn't cause the page to change. I'm not at the multiple preset stage yet so I can't comment on what awaits further down the line

Actually that's not true it's working now albeit the button doesn't stay highlighted as being in the "on" state

Just For General
What Is The Meaning Of The Numbers In This Line?

PresetDisplay.setPopupData(presetBrowserData, [PresetDisplay.getWidth()/2, 25, 800, 470]);

[Christoph Hart]

Just change them and see what happens...
