@David-Healey nope there are no dynamic panels any more...

@David-Healey child of the holder-panel - yes, a lot of them - they are all pre-declared and set up, so Im not sure they will have any effect here...hoping not anyway...

@David-Healey thanks yeah - I wonder how dependent it is upon how many sub panels I m using at any given time....

@Lindon so it appears to be a timing issue....if I add a button to do this positionY stuff that works - so is there a listener for the viewport rejigging itself?

I cant find anything in the Broadcaster wizard that looks like it can be applied...but Im a complete novice in there...

OK so I have viewport with a holding-panel inside it, that panel has a variable number of sub-panels being displayed....

So I cant get the Viewport to respond to viewport.set("viewPosition",1), except on init...

so first time thru - it sets the viewport to the end, but if I change the number of sub-panels displayed, and thus change the size of the holding-panel, then the viewport shoots back to the top and wont act on any ViewPositionY I send it as part of the holding panels repaint function...

What am I doing wrong?

@Lindon ohh

"height": undefined <---whata dumb ass....

@David-Healey look at this!

everything says its there - but its not displaying...

@Lindon literally nothing is working now...I've broken it somehow...

@Lindon well actually no paint routines trigger at all and no panel will show up even if I've commented out all teh paint routines...

@David-Healey yes

@David-Healey now even this isnt working:

for(i = 0; i <NUM_individualLibPanels; i++)
{
	individualLibraryPanels[i] = Content.addPanel("iLibPanel" + (i+1), 0, 0);
	Content.setPropertiesFromJSON("iLibPanel" + (i+1),  {
    "type": "ScriptPanel",
    "x": 1.0,
    "y": 0.0,
    "parentComponent": "LibraryDisplayPanel",
    "width": 275.0,
    "height": LIB_PANEL_HEIGHT,
    "borderSize": 1.0,
    "borderRadius": 0.0
  });
  individualLibraryPanels[i].showControl(false);
  individualLibraryPanels[i].setPaintRoutine(function(g)
  {
  	Console.print("painting painting");
  });
};

@David-Healey except this doesnt work!!!!

It always draws the first image you loaded......

@David-Healey sadly its a bit of a monster...

Here's a paint routine:

function paintLibraries(g)
{
	panelValue = this.getValue();
	//Console.print(trace(panelValue));
	Console.print("trying to draw:" + panelValue.LibImage);
	
	templibImg = imageDirFile.getChildFile(panelValue.LibImage);
	this.loadImage(templibImg.toString(templibImg.FullPath), panelValue.LibImage);
	g.drawImage(panelValue.LibImage, [0,0,this.get("width"),this.get("height")], 0, 0);
	//draw edgeing in black
	g.setColour(Colours.black);
	g.drawRect([0,0,this.get("width"),this.get("height")],1);
	//draw the icon for opened or closed...
	g.setColour(Colours.white);
	if (panelValue.DisplayState == 0)
	{
		//not opened
		g.fillPath(paths.icons.PointRight, [this.get("width")-20,this.get("height")-30,15,25]);
	}else{
		//opened..
		g.rotate(radianFromDegree*90,[this.getWidth()-10,this.getHeight()-15]);
		g.fillPath(paths.icons.PointRight, [this.get("width")-15,this.get("height")-20,12,22]);
	};
};

As you can see each panel has a json object in its value and it uses this to decide which image to load....

Thinking about doing this a completely different way.. and fixing panels to thier owning JSON, not loading the json into the panel...

@David-Healey thats more or less what Im doing, but the paint routine isnt drawing what I want -despite me asking politely... its drawing the first image loaded into the panel....

@Lindon ..and if I reload the image in the paint callback it works -- but that seems very inefficient..

, just to be clear I also tried just load, but this seems to load multiple images and only ever displays the first one....

Does anyone have a clear idea how these work?

I want to use a set of panels, each with a single image loaded....

I want that image to change based upon a mouse click in the panel....

I tried load and unload, and on anything past the init callback then I get nothing loaded into my panels....

So on init: the panels have no image, and I run a load - and they display correctly...
On mouse click: I run an unload on each one, then another load a few lines later - and here I get no images loaded...

What am I doing wrong?

@shawntarget split the signal up in a script node and process it there..

@dannytaurus we have modified the requirement.

@dannytaurus said in Hise.Activate:

@Lindon I'm following your posts about this because I'm thinking of implementing something similar.

I thought one of your early requests was that a user can load content from multiple expansions at once, and that's not possible with Full Expansions, right? Or have I misunderstood?

you are correct you cannot load content from multiple Full Instrument expansions at once.
