[controlP5] Add a scroll list in a separate window
May 9th, 2008, 10:30am  
Hi,

First, all my gratitude to Sojamo for the brilliant ControlP5 library!

I want to add a scroll list to a second window, but I couldn't find how this should work. The method setWindow() works with the elements of the type Controller, but the scrollList is not a Controller (or is it?).

Typically, this doesn't work:
(Semantic Error: No accessible method with signature "setWindow(controlP5.ControlWindow)" was found in type "controlP5.ScrollList".)

Code:

ControlP5 controlP5;

ControlWindow controlWindow;

controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
controlWindow = controlP5.addControlWindow("Sound Library",100,100,200,400);

ScrollList l = controlP5.addScrollList("myList",100,100,120,280);

l.setWindow(controlWindow);


Thanks,
Jean-Baptiste

PS: the constructor "Controller" clashes with a constructor of the same name in the P5 library Promidi.

I actually ran into the same problem that many subclasses of Controller dont really seem to have setWindow included. The moveTo() class also does not seem to support all constructors from the documentation. Anyways I solved the problem with the scrolllist by simply putting a tab to my controlwindow and afterwards setting the new tab for the scrollList:
Code:

import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 controlP5;
ControlWindow controlWindow;


void setup() {
  size(400,400);
  frameRate(30);
  controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
  controlP5.setAutoDraw(false);
  ControlGroup grp1 = controlP5.addGroup("myGroup",50,200);
  controlWindow = controlP5.addControlWindow("controlP5window",100,100,600,400);
  controlWindow.setBackground(color(40));
  controlP5.addTab(controlWindow, "new");

  ScrollList l = controlP5.addScrollList("myList",100,100,120,280);
  l.setTab("new");
  l.setLabel("something else");
  
  for(int i=0;i<40;i++) {
    controlP5.Button b = l.addItem("a"+i,i);
    b.setId(100 + i);
  }
}

void myList(int theValue) {
  println("ddd");
}


nice lib. even though I'd like to know if I do something wrong or if things are not completed yet.
