G4P question, updating GUI.pde from old version

in Contributed Library Questions • 4 months ago

Hello, is my first post here, I got a question:

I'm new to processing and G4P, so need help here, I made a GUI with G4P v1.1 for using in processing 1.5, ok, now I want to upgrade it to the latest versions of processing and G4P, I see that is a bit complex, but what I'm trying to do is edit the gui tab in processing, adapt all the data and get everything upgraded, everything works, BUT, if I open the GUI builder, everything goes back to nothing, is there any way to make GUI builder open the new updated gui.pde instead of going back to the old one?

Thanks very much

Unfortunately not.

GUI Builder does not read the design from the code gui tab - rather it saves the GUI in a special file and then regenerates the GUI design window and gui tab code from that file when needed.

Also the code created by GUI Builder 1.1 creates code for a PS 1.5.1 compatable version of G4P - G4P was completely re-written for PS2 (I had no choice) so I had to update the GUI Builder for this version.

Sorry about that As it says on the website, GUI Builder may not be compatible with GUIs created with earlier versions.

thanks for the reply, I found a way to "copy" manually the data from the other into the gui builder, now I got another problem with processing not sending the serial to arduino.

since I'm new I find really hard to find the way to get the information to get the data from buttons, sliders, etc., at least hard for me to understand the information, I had to figure it out and took me long time.

for the conversion would help something like the old functions vs new functions.

by the way, how do I get the button click in the new G4P?

in v1.1 with processing 1.5 I did:

void button1_Click1(GButton button) { //_CODE_:button1:839390:

if (button1 == button && button.eventType == GButton.CLICKED){

//println("button1 - GButton event occured " + button1);

closebutton = 1;

}

} //_CODE_:button1:839390:

but now I was not able to figure out in the new version

thanks

               public void button1_click1(GButton source, GEvent event) { //_CODE_:button1:740153:
              

                 if (source == button1 && event == GEvent.CLICKED)
              

                   println("button1 - clicked " + millis()%10000000 );
              

               } //_CODE_:button1:740153:
              

This is the new way of doing it. You can always create a new sketch and use GUI Builder to add components just to see what the code should look like.

that did it, thanks, I did used guibuilder in a new sketch, but only create the button but doesn't get the data, unless there is something I'm missing?
