Help: ERROR! Cannot Convert GUI Image Buttons to Boolean

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hello, I am trying to use image buttons on a GUI to select between 6 different waverforms. The code has worked until I tried to implement the case conditions [each button is a different case]. The error I originally got was "PImage cannot convert to boolean". After moving some stuff around the error became : Cannot convert GUI image Buttons to Boolean. Right now I was thinking of hiding some radiobuttons behind each image to do the actual selections but I am wondering if there is a simpler way.

Short version: Is there a way to use image buttons to produce boolean values?

" Is there a way to use image buttons to produce boolean values?"
Why, yes, of course...

There are several ways to do it, it depends on what you try to do... If what actually you want are toggle buttons (one button active at a time), it can be simpler to just have one global variable holding the number of active button. When you detect a button has been pressed, just set the variable to the number of the button.
Otherwise, upon press detection, set the corresponding boolean to true, you can reset it to false after usage, for example. Again, many possibilities, depending on your needs.
