controlP5 event fired when app loads?
May 7th, 2007, 7:05pm  
I'm using the controlP6 library for some basic buttons, but for some reason the controls seem to fire events right when the applet loads.

Even when just using the sample code, they fire events without being clicked. Anyone else experienced this?

I have noticed that as well. I have not found a workaround.
Anyone else?

I've got the same problem. found this workaround.

Quote:


void ButtonName(){
if(frameCount >1){
  println("ButtonName event");
}
}



So the buttons still fire but it doesn't do anything because it's before the first frame. (it's a great lib by the way)

hi,
the library executes all controllers at the beginning by default, so for the next release i will make this configurable, for now matt's solution sounds like a good compromise.  
the reason for the autostart is, lets say you want to use your controller setup for initialization, then the autostart for the controllers is required. so i thought this was a good idea - the autostart of controllers. will reconsider this, basically make it configurable, for the next release which will also have a few more features and fixes. any requests?
geetings,
andi

Hi Andi,

I'd love to request being able to use an image as a background for a Button/Bang. Also when creating Tabs is there a way to not have the "Default" tab created? Or can I just change it's name? Any plans to enable custom fonts?

And the lib is saving me so much time it's just not funny. Thanks for the great work.

I'll throw in a request to be able to make a single control hidden, instead of having to hide the ControlP5 object you created it with.

Unless I'm crazy and haven't noticed it, it's not possible to hide a single control. Like, if I have a Button object, I can't say button.hide(). If I want to hide it I have to hide the ControlP5 object I created it with:

http://www.sojamo.de/content/p5/controlP5/documentation/controlp5_method_hide.htm

I'd like to be able to just hide/show a single controller, without affecting the visibility of other controllers. I got around this limitation in a sketch I made by just creating a new ControlP5 object for each set of controls I wanted to be able to hide/show, but it seems sort of silly that I should have to do that.

Clearer? Smiley

i guess i have to disappoint you, you are not crazy - at least in regard to hiding a single control Smiley so i just implemented the show/hide functionality, will be available in the next release. if you want to have sets of controls, maybe tabs can solve it for now.

best,
andi

This might be a question instead of a request. But is there a way to have a controller not be part of a Tab. i.e. if I change tabs the controller remains visible?

Just while we have you here Andi Smiley

currently these "global controllers" are not possible but will be soon. i might not implement PFont in regard to custom fonts, but maybe some more pixel fonts. images for buttons, hm, have to think about that. but i will find a solution for the default tab labeling.

best,
