how to get ControlP5 library listbox item name

in Programming Questions • 1 year ago

I am using controlP5 library for creating GUI for my app. I have 10 items in my listbox with the names of employees. My question is how to get the name of the perticular item (employee) when i select the particular item from the list.

You can do something like this, I slightly modified the listBox example

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 controlP5;
//set the names here
String[] employee = {
"empA", "empB", "empC", "empD", "empE", "empF"
};
ListBox l;
int cnt = 0;
void setup() {
size(400, 400);
frameRate(30);
controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
l = controlP5.addListBox("myList", 100, 100, 120, 120);
l.setItemHeight(15);
l.setBarHeight(15);
l.captionLabel().toUpperCase(true);
l.captionLabel().set("something else");
l.captionLabel().style().marginTop = 3;
l.valueLabel().style().marginTop = 3; // the +/- sign
//l.setBackgroundColor(color(100,0,0));
for (int i=0;i<employee.length;i++) {
l.addItem(employee[i], i);
}
l.setColorBackground(color(255, 128));
l.setColorActive(color(0, 0, 255, 128));
}
void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
if (theEvent.isGroup()) {
// an event from a group e.g. scrollList
println(theEvent.group().value()+" from "+theEvent.name());
if (theEvent.name() == "myList") { // if we got an event from myList
println("choosed " + employee[int(theEvent.group().value())]); // look through the array
}
}
}
void draw() {
background(128);
// scroll the scroll List according to the mouseX position
// when holding down SPACE.
if (keyPressed && key==' ') {
//l.scroll(mouseX/((float)width)); // scroll taks values between 0 and 1
}
if (keyPressed && key==' ') {
l.setWidth(mouseX);
}
}
