controlP5: controlEvent() problem with the new version

in Contributed Library Questions • 3 years ago

Hi all!

I used to use an old controlP5 version whith some bugs I needed they to be fixed.

In the actual one (5.0.4), those bugs are fixed. So i'd like to use this one.

BUT I get troubles with it:

I have in my code (in the class Main which extends PApplet):

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
...
}

This causes this error:

6 oct. 2010 16:56:32 controlP5.ControllerPlug set

ATTENTION: plug() failed.java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: main.Main.controlEvent(controlP5.ControlEvent)

If I remove all the function, no problem.

If I remove the argument (ControlEvent theEvent): Illegal argument exception.

Help please!

hi,

if you make function controlEvent public, the NoSuchMethodException will go away. Since the error message indicates you are not working with the processing ide but maybe eclipse, no pre-compiler-processing will be done for your sketch, therefore function controlEvent needs to be fully visible - which public does.

public void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
// ControlEvent handling goes here.
}

Thank you!!!

Yes I'm using Eclipse. Happy it was so easy to fix! Strange that it worked with the previous version...

While you're here,

I have some basic questions:

How to disable the possibility to move the buttons with ALT?
How to remove the automatic draw of the ControlP5 componments in order to draw they in the order I want (now it's drawn on the top of all, but I'd like to draw things over).
"Image-based or custom displays are not yet implemented for this type of controller. (controlP5.Range)" : really no way to customize my range?

Thanks :)

1) controlP5.setMoveable(false);

2) controlP5.setAutoDraw(false);
inside draw you need to call
controlP5.draw();

to draw all controllers when you want them to be drawn.

3) not yet.

Very cool, thank you a lot,

thanks for your so rapid (and efficient) answer!

Shade, dass das "Range" nicht shön werden kann...

but I hope it'll be soon :)
