Using ControlP5 in externel class

kucky

Hey, I use scrollablelist in extern class.

` public class SerialConnect {

 PApplet pa;

 private ControlP5 cp5;

 Controller<ScrollableList> sbCOM;

//--------------------- End of Initialisatins and Deklarations --

SerialConnect(PApplet _pa) {
    pa = _pa;
    cp5 = new ControlP5(pa);

    String[] portNames = SerialPortList.getPortNames();    
    sbCOM = cp5.addScrollableList("ComList");
    sbCOM.setCaptionLabel("COM Ports").setPosition(100, 0).
                                             setSize(80, 120).setBarHeight(BARHEIGHT).setItemHeight(20).
                                             addItems(portNames);

}   
//------------------------- end of constructor ------------ 

public void ComList(int value){

    pa.println("Selectet is :"+ value);
    isCOMport = true;
        isConnect = InitSerial(selectedPort, current_BaudRate);

}//--------------------------- End of ComList() --

public void ControlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {

if (theEvent.isController()) {
        System.out.println("Something is happening.");
        if (theEvent.getName().matches("ComList")) {     
  }
}
}//--------------------------- End of ControlEvent() --

` But i get no event. What am I doing wrong? Gruß Willi

Callback is controlEvent() w/ lowerCamelCase name; not ControlEvent()! L-)
And it's only recognizable as a PApplet method in the main sketch. :-SS

Thanks for the quick response, but i don't understand this comment. "And it's only recognizable as a PApplet method in the main sketch. " Can i use controlp5 elements only in the main sketch? Can you correct my code, please? If you have time and pleasure. 8-|

• I'm far from familiar w/ ControlP5 library, sorry. X_X
• What I meant is that the library will search for a method called controlEvent() within a PApplet object; the same used for kick-starting it, like you did here: cp5 = new ControlP5(pa);
• However your own controlEvent() belongs to class SerialConnect instead! #-o
• Dunno much, but I believe we can specify our own ControlListener object via addListener() method: http://www.Sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/examples/use/ControlP5listenerForSingleController/ControlP5listenerForSingleController.pde

BtW, you need to learn how to properly post code in the forum: :-\"
