Hey,

I have a similar question:

I have a sketch with a couple of toggle boxes. When I click a few, I want it to call 1 function. Can someone explain how to do this?
Hope someone has a solution.


Kind regards,

Joshua

Not sure why you'd want several toggles to change the same boolean and not also do something else...  But looking at the Library examples it didn't take long to find one possible solution...

OK - that at least explains your use-case... and I'll admit that some functionality of controlP5 seems a little obtuse at first - for instance a toggle which you'd expect to return a boolean actually returns a float - but the docs are pretty thorough and there are some really useful examples.  With just a little tinkering I came up with this solution using the controlEvent method I suggested before:

1. // amended controlP5 Toggle example...
   
2. import controlP5.*;
3. ControlP5 controlP5;
4. 
   
5. void setup() {
6.   size(400,400);
7.   smooth();
8.   controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
9.   controlP5.addToggle("toggle1",false,100,160,20,20);
10.   controlP5.addToggle("toggle2",true,100,240,20,20);
11. }
12.  
13. void draw() {
14.   background(0);
15. }
16. 
    
17. // fired whenever there is an event on any controlP5 element...
18. // That means the test will return a result when another control is used - but, if necessary,  it should be
    
19. // simple enough to handle that situation.
    
20. void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
21.    // toggle.value() actually returns a float...
    
22.    float valueToggle1 = controlP5.controller("toggle1").value();
23.    float valueToggle2 = controlP5.controller("toggle2").value();
24. 
    
25.    if(valueToggle1 == 1.0 && valueToggle2 == 1.0) {
26.      println("both true");
27.    }
28.    else if(valueToggle1 == 1.0 || valueToggle2 == 1.0) {
29.      println("one true, one false");
30.    }
31.    else {
32.      println("both false");
33.    }
34. }

Thanks for the help.
