While I'm making requests.......

I've noticed my buttons in ControlP5 seem to be lacking in visual feedback.

For example, when coding a button in flash it has (at least) 3 states - UP (i.e. normal) OVER (hovering on the button) and HIT (button is pressed).

with controlP5:

.setColorBackground(color1) allows us to change the UP position.

.setColorActive(color1) allows to change the OVER position.

it does not appear that we are able to change the HIT color. could we create a setColorPressed method?


also with radio buttons, is there a way to change the color of selected and hovering radio buttons from the default orange?

Better: Adding an image to a specified group?

I was wondering, how do I get two sliders to control two
different things (other than change the color of the window)? What I'm trying to do is use the sliders and their values to control two motors. However when I type:

if (sliderValue > 0) {
 port.write(20);
}

it applies to only one of the sliders. So, how do I get the second one to function in the same way?

controlP5 has been updated to 0.3.0 to be compatible with processing versions 146+.
mini changes:
(1) the width of tabs can be set with e.g.
controlP5.tab("default").setWidth(100);
(2) the stroke weight issue for knobs has been fixed.

wicked !

Thx a lot.

Hello everyone! Sorry for my english at first. I found processing some weeks ago and controlP5 library is very cool. What I tried to do is 3d sketch with GUI in controlwindow. Sliders work perfect, but I have a problem with textfield located in control window. Its just not working. No events detected while typing. I tried focus. I found groupCanvas example and it is for "plan B". But is there any simple solving. Im doing like this. Thanks for any replys.

import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 controlP5;

ControlWindow controlWindow;
String textValue = "";
Textfield myTextfield;
public int sliderValue = 40;

void setup() {
 size(400,400);
 frameRate(25);
 controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
 controlP5.setAutoDraw(false);
 controlWindow = controlP5.addControlWindow("controlP5window",100,100,400,400);
 controlWindow.setBackground(color(40));
 Controller mySlider = controlP5.addSlider("sliderValue",0,255,40,40,100,10);
 mySlider.setWindow(controlWindow);
 myTextfield = controlP5.addTextfield("texts",40,70,200,20);
 myTextfield.setFocus(true);
 myTextfield.setWindow(controlWindow);
}

void draw() {
 background(sliderValue);
 controlP5.draw();
texts(myTextfield.getText());
}

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
 println("got an event from "+theEvent.controller().name());
 println(theEvent.controller().stringValue());
}

void mousePressed() {
 println(myTextfield.getText());
}

public void texts(String theText) {
 println("a textfield event. "+theText);
 println("textValue : "+textValue);
}

Andreas, thanks for your quick reply and great work.
