Hi everybody!

I want to get this for xml record and restore the window in the same place on the next restart...

use

controlP5.getWindow(this).getFrame().getLocation(); // 'this' here refers to PApplet, your sketch

(you might need to download a newer controlP5 version from www.sojamo.de/files/archive/controlP5_0.6.4.zip)

Hi!

Thank you, it works well, but with this version, radio buttons do not work...

May be I must change it with a simple button...

Greetings!

I'm sorry, I misspoke, this not the RadioButton classe who don't work, it's the Radio classe...

ah ok, the Radio controller has been replaced with the RadioButton controller - functionality remained the same. renaming Radio with RadioButton should work. to add items to a RadioButton use addItem() instead of add().

Yes it work, but not without bugs...

Radio controller not allow to working with IDs, I must to test the controller name before my switch function, also I have an error code.

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent)
{
String testString = theEvent.name();
if ( !testString.equals("GUI_graphic") && !testString.equals("GUI_mode"))
{
switch(theEvent.controller().id())
{
// All my controller IDs
}
}
}

A have see an other bug, for this version, in a Textfield, the text is no longer the center on the height.

hi, maybe this works better for you?

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 controlP5;
int myColorBackground = color(0,0,0);
RadioButton r;
void setup() {
size(400,400);
controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
r = controlP5.addRadioButton("radio",100,160);
r.addItem("black",0);
r.addItem("red",1);
r.addItem("green",2);
r.addItem("blue",3);
r.addItem("grey",4);
}
void draw() {
background(myColorBackground);
}
void controlEvent(ControlEvent c) {
if(c.isFrom(r)) {
radio(int(c.getValue()));
}
}
void radio(int theID) {
switch(theID) {
case(0): myColorBackground = color(0); break;
case(1): myColorBackground = color(255,0,0); break;
case(2): myColorBackground = color(0,255,0); break;
case(3): myColorBackground = color(0,0,255); break;
case(4): myColorBackground = color(128); break;
}
println("changing background color ...");
}
