controlP5 tab & canvas & moveTo

pdrewello

I'm working on an sketch which requires the use of 2 canvas. One for main 3D work, and one for layout and 2D. I would like the 2nd Canvas to be added to a tab in the main control window. Is this possible?

i.e cp5.getCanvas(canvas).moveTo("Layout");

There is no get getCanvas, but in principle the moveTo() does according to the reference allow you to move a ControlWindowCanvas to a ControlGroup - which I believe is created in the tab as "Layout". However the moveTo() doesn't accept "Layout" as an argument.

note. Previously, I was using a second ControlWindow and adding the ControlWindowCanvas to this, however I'd like to run everything in the main.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks, P.

Hi,

I want to do something similar.. I created a second Applet that I use to display text and general info staff that I don't want in the main window, but when I'm adding buttons in the second they don't pass the values to the main one.

Have solved your issue, or do you have any idea with my problem?

Thanks Achilleas
