ControlP5 slider multiple events

in Contributed Library Questions • 7 months ago

Hi,

I've got a slider that seems to send 3 to 10 events at each mouse click. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

cp5.addSlider("slider")
     .setPosition(100,305)
     .setSize(200,20)
     .setRange(0,5)
     .setValue(5)
     .setNumberOfTickMarks(6)
     ;
void slider(float theVal) {
println("a slider event: "+ theVal);
}
Results:
a slider event: 0.0
a slider event: 0.0
a slider event: 0.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0
a slider event: 5.0

Thanks,
Bob

these events are triggered during initialization. to turn them off, use setBroadcast(boolean)

cp5.addSlider("slider")
.setBroadcast(false)
.setPosition(100,305)
.setSize(200,20)
.setRange(0,5)
.setValue(5)
.setNumberOfTickMarks(6)
.setBroadcast(true)
;

Great solution, thanks!

But that only takes care of part of the problem, I get multiple events when the slider slides, as well...

I wrote some code to handle it, but a more elegant solution would still be welcome!

Thanks again - this is a great forum!
Ciao,
Bob
