Hey Sojamo,

I'm just starting to play with controlWindow, and wonder if there's a way to resize the window after it's created. I've tried setSize, setWidth, etc, to no effect.

So far I've gotten around the issue by removing the window and recreating it at the desired size, but then I seem to need to use setWindow on each item that was previously assigned to the window.

--

I'm also interested in if it's possible to create an item directly on a control window, rather than using setWindow after it's created. something along the lines of Code:

controlWindow.addButton()...

Thanks for your help and for a great library.

Hi Sojamo,

Thanks for your contribution and help to resolve doubts in ControlP5 and I have a doubt in List box usage, If you can help me It would really help for my project and What my query is..

I would like to use List box in my application so that I have added list box code and named 12 months like Jan,Feb..,Dec.
but I added the values in the form of key value pairs. So once I selected month from List I got only the value of the month only How should i get the Name of the month like "Jan"/"Feb" that values needed for me further implementation of code. I know its a small question but I am not much aware about processing language advance thanks for your help..

I am giving sample code which I am unable to retrive the selected month.. how should I get month values in void draw() method.

import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 controlP5;

ListBox l;
int cnt = 0;
PImage mapImage;
Table locationTable;
int rowCount;
color bg = color(255);
public void setup( ) {
size(640, 400);

// list box start

frameRate(30);
controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
l = controlP5.addListBox("myList",10,10,100,100);
l.setItemHeight(10);
l.setBarHeight(10);

l.captionLabel().toUpperCase(true);
l.captionLabel().set("Select Month");
l.captionLabel().style().marginTop = 3;
l.valueLabel().style().marginTop = 3; // the +/- sign
//l.setBackgroundColor(color(100,0,0));
// for(int i=0;i<12;i++) {
// if(i==0){
// l.addItem("Jan",0);
//}
l.addItem("Jan",0);
l.addItem("Feb",1);
l.addItem("Mar",2);
l.addItem("Apr",3);
l.addItem("May",4);
l.addItem("Jun",5);
l.addItem("Jul",6);
l.addItem("Aug",7);
l.addItem("Sep",8);
l.addItem("Oct",9);
l.addItem("Nov",10);
l.addItem("Dec",11);
// }
l.setColorBackground(color(30,128));
l.setColorActive(color(0,0,30,128));

// list box end
mapImage = loadImage("ireland.png");
// Make a data table from a file that contains
// the coordinates of each state.
locationTable = new Table("irelanddata.tsv");
// The row count will be used a lot, so store it globally.
rowCount = locationTable.getRowCount( );
PFont font = loadFont("Arial-BoldMT-16.vlw");
textFont(font);
}
void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
// ListBox is if type ControlGroup.
// 1 controlEvent will be executed, where the event
// originates from a ControlGroup. therefore
// you need to check the Event with
// if (theEvent.isGroup())
// to avoid an error message from controlP5.

if (theEvent.isGroup()) {
// an event from a group e.g. scrollList
println(theEvent.group().value()+" from "+theEvent.group());
println(theEvent.group());
}
}

Hi,

I think I've come across a bug with radioButtons. Activating a radio button in code does not seem to affect the value returned for the radio buttons, though does change the selection, whereas clicking on them does.

From your example code:
inserting Code:

pvoid keyPressed() {
  if(key==' ') {
    r.deactivateAll();
  } else if (key=='a') {
    r.activate("50");
  } else if(key>='0' && key<'5') {
    // convert a key-number (48-52) to an int between 0 and 4
    int n = int(key)-48;
    println("n is: " + n);
    r.activate(4);  
    println("radio button is: " + r.value());  
  }
}

demonstrates that regardless of what is set, r.value stays the same at 1.0.

Much of my code relies on being able to test which radio button is currently selected, so I would be very appreciative of a fix!

cheers

Andrew

Sure no problem, hope it helps:

I have a simple question: Is there any way to make controlP5 less CPU intensive? I know about ControlWindow.ECONOMIC but in the sketch I'm working at a ControlWindow is not an option. Thanks!

beautiful library!

i discovered a bug in the ControlP5Matrix example:
you get an error ("push()matrix cannot use push more than 32 times") when you leave the matrix box with a pressed mouse button.

hope bug reports helps you. is there a better place to post them?

best,

I'd like to be able to pass the x,y coordinates to a class inside the main sketh - is that possible? Thanks for a great library!

hi validvalue,
you can get the window location by calling getLocation() of a controlWindow's frame component like this:
Code:


float x = controlWindow.papplet().frame.getLocation().x;
float y = controlWindow.papplet().frame.getLocation().y;

(the location only is updated after moving a window, not while it is being moving)
best, andreas
