controlp5 is a great library, i didnt check all the latest changes,  but as far as i know, GUI4P by Quark might be the better choise if you want to use a lot of images to build a more complex GUI.

G4P supports buttons with images but not images as buttons.

Using images to create regular and irregular shaped buttons occurred to me awhile ago and I planned to include these in the next release of G4P, this was put on hold while I updated the Shapes3D library but now that is done I can now get back to G4P. Not sure when the next release will be as I have even started coding this enhancement yet.

Is it possible, with controlP5 or with GUI4P, to receive events not from the mouse but from touch (using the TUIO library)?

I'm trying to draw a button for each of the choices I have:

Code:

(...)

for (int i = 0; i < choices.size(); i++) {
    Choice chTemp = (Choice) choices.get(i);
    chTemp.draw(width/2 - chunk/2 + 20, height - 190 + i*20);
}
 

But I'm getting an error in the Choice class, saying that the constructor GButton is undefined here:

Code:

(...)

public void draw(int x, int y) {
    GButton choiceBtn = new GButton(this, name, icon, 1, x, y, 30, 30);
    choiceBtn.setImageAlign(GAlign.LEFT);
    choiceBtn.setColorScheme(GCScheme.GREEN_SCHEME);
    if (selected) choiceBtn.setFocus(true);
    else choiceBtn.setFocus(false);
} 

Any ideas on how to do this right? I tried adding GButton choiceBtn right after the imports, but the problem remains

If you want to use image buttons you might want V1.6 of G4P - checkout some image buttons here

Is there a way of removing these buttons I create dynamically? Tried using the setVisible but it's not doing anything :/

I drawing buttons for when I place and object (representing an Activity) in a specific area of the screen. I use (still using your previous library atm):

In Activity Class
Code:

 (...)

private void drawChoices() {
    for (int i = 0; i < choices.size(); i++) {
	 Choice chTemp = (Choice) choices.get(i);
	 chTemp.draw(width/2 - chunk/2 + 6, height - 175 + i * 40);
    }
}
 

In Choice Class
Code:

(...)

public void draw (int x, int y) {
    appeared = true;
    choiceBtn = new GButton(pa, name, icon, 1, x, y, 245, 35);
    choiceBtn.setImageAlign(GAlign.LEFT);
    if (selected) choiceBtn.setColorScheme(GCScheme.GREEN_SCHEME);
    else choiceBtn.setColorScheme(GCScheme.GREY_SCHEME);
} 

When the object is not on the area of the screen it should be, I run:

In Activity Class
Code:

(...)

private void removeButtons() {
    for (int i = 0; i < choices.size(); i++) {
	Choice chTemp = (Choice) choices.get(i);
	chTemp.removeButton();
    }
} 

In Choice Class
Code:

(...)

public void removeButton() {
    if (appeared) choiceBtn.setVisible(false);
    appeared = false;
}
