is controlp5 working within the latest build? I was enjoying it and it was all fine until I switched yesterday and now processing is asking me to put it in the libraries folder even though it's already there.


the new build fixed all sorts of problems...which is great except for this...

Im on 0154, windowsXP and the jar is in the libraries folder in mysketch folder...I am not having problems with other libraries I am using...

this is the code I have reinserted after taking it out - commenting it out did not stop the debugging from failing:

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 controlP5;
ControlWindow controlWindow;

then when I build I get this msg
"The Package 'controlP5' does not exist. You might be missing a library"

?? thanks!

hi,
sorry about the "sketchbook" folder confusion. the sketchbook folder refers to the folder in which processing stores your sketches (sketches inside this folder can be accessed in processing's menubar under File->sketchbook).
on mac this folder is at
~/Documents/Processing
on windows it is located at
~/My Documents/Processing
(e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Processing)

inside the Processing folder, a folder libraries should be used for storing contributed libraries. if you put controlP5 in there, you should be fine.
on mac the folder structure for controlP5 looks like this:
~/Documents/Processing/libraries/controlP5/library/controlP5.jar

yep still have the problem. Let me explain how I have Processing set up because I suspect that there's something I'm still not getting - though I haven't had trouble with other libraries, AND this one was working before...

I have two hard drives, C and D. I have everything Processing related on D - the program itself as well as the sketches. My so-called sketchbook is actually called 'sketches' on my computer and it's located within the Processing program folder :

D:\Processing\sketches

I have moved my libraries folder which was here
D:\Processing\libraries
to
D:\Processing\sketches\libraries

and controlP5 ends up at

D:\Processing\sketches\libraries\controlP5\library

is that all ok? the only other thing that might be causing a potential problem is that it may exist elsewhere in different spots which is a consequence of me trying to find the 'sweet spot'...help?

thanks again for the support.

Also I am having problems with controlP5 in the new processing version.

I am using Processing 0154 and controlP5 0.3.2.
The library lives in:
~/Documents/Processing/libraries/controlP5/library/controlP5.jar

When i start my sketch with a  textfield I get the message:
"function setFocus(boolean) does not exists.

This sketch used to work with the old processing and controlP5 version.

I work on a MacBook Pro 10.4.11 with Xcode installed.
When I try to run some examples from the library the control elements are only visible when I do nothing in the draw like they are drawn only one time. For example with the ControlP5basics I get no errors and it works but only if I do nothing in draw..

I am confused and hope there is somebody who could shine a light on this as I hardly think I am the only one. Or.. am I overlooking something very stupid ?

Thanks in advance..

which java version are you using?

try this in the terminal:
java -version

i'm on 10.5.x with Processing 0156 and controlP5 0.3.2 .. no problems at all here.

i suspect there is an older version somewhere hidden in a sketch or a code folder.
what controlP5 version are you using? you can find that out when starting a sketch that uses controlP5, and a line like

ControlP5 0.3.2 infos, comments, questions ...

will appear in processing's console.

Code:

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 controlP5;
void setup() {
  controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
}
void draw() {}
 

since function setFocus(boolean) was introduced (hm, i have to guess here, a changelog would be handy now)  with version 0.2.8 and it gives you an error message, meaning the method cannot be found, i suspect processing is not using version 0.3.2 but refers to an earlier version that is somewhere hidden in the sketchbook-folder. did you try a search for controlP5.jar? the only controlP5.jar should be located at
~/Documents/Processing/libraries/controlP5/library/controlP5.jar

if there are more controlP5.jar files floating around on your disk / in the sketchbook-folder, that might be the reason for your strange encounters.
best,
andreas

Hi all!

I have a little trouble with controlP5 library, I have a sketch that was working fine on Processing 0135 and controlP5 version 0.1.1. I have switched to Processing 0156 and controlP5 0.3.2 and..

1. the sketch shows the sliders and numberboxes in a diferent color than before (blue instead of yellow).

2. the number boxes are not working as expected, when I click down and drag up the numbers goes down to negative values instead of positive.

3. I was using "frame.setUndecorated(true);" to erase the top title of the window to do live visuals on a second screen and now it says:

///////////////
java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: The frame is displayable.

at java.awt.Frame.setUndecorated(Frame.java:838)

at demo1.init(demo1.java:46)

at processing.core.PApplet.main(PApplet.java:6483)
///////////////

somebody knows about that?

thanks in advance!
