buttons and tabs

[urbanspaceman]

I have a modulator with two tabs, I have previously made two methods to move from one tab to another with two buttons.
now I want to use only one method, but I can not make it work.

my current method is (from the demo)

viewSwitch = function(mod, value)
	panel:getModulatorByName("Main"):getComponent():setProperty ("uiTabsCurrentTab", value, false)
end

how i have to setup the buttons to work with this method?

one method and two button

with two buttons i see setting radiogroupbutton for them( chose a number) but it will be not perfect , your method could be better with just one button (0,1)
you have two (0,1) .
or set up “customModulatorIndex” (search the exact property name ,it is not in head); one 1 and other 0 and do

local exemple = mod:getProperty(“customModulatorIndex”)
panel:getModulatorByName(“Main”):getComponent():setProperty (“uiTabsCurrentTab”, exemple, false)

edit : sometimes we could have issue at startup so if you encounter wrong tab displayed at start up you could directly set the modulatorValue() of the tab in your method.the fact to set it will add the property to the tab

thanks, I do a test tomorrow
another question, is possible to pass others value to the method?

example (i try to xplain)

in the button properties i want to set a field with the tab name
so when i click on the button i pass to the method the name of the tab and the value. that way I could have a single reusable method to use with each button on my panel that is used to make a tabs switch

the method i writed could work with severals button :
here the logic :
btn1 = “customModulatorIndex” set to 0 (in your panel property buttons)
btn2 = customModulatorIndex” ……..1
btn3 = customModulatorIndex” ……..2
then apply the method to all buttons
when you click on one it will display the corresponding tab

OR there is a global callback (when any modulator value change) you can use it

for the tabName you have to get the property as in your method and put it…. where ?
on the button visibleName ? on other mod ?
it depends of your panel organization but you can use a componentListBox too (may be practical) instead of buttons

[urbanspaceman]

so I can have a unique method because it can not determine on which tab act?

[urbanspaceman]

ok, the right code is

function viewSwitch(mod, value)
	local val = mod:getProperty("modulatorCustomIndex")
	panel:getModulatorByName("Main"):getComponent():setProperty ("uiTabsCurrentTab", val, false)
end

ok i found a workaround
in the button properties, set the custom modulator name equal to the tabs name (Main in my case), then with this code

function viewSwitch(mod, value)
	local val = mod:getProperty("modulatorCustomIndex")
	local name = mod:getProperty("modulatorCustomName")
	panel:getModulatorByName(name):getComponent():setProperty ("uiTabsCurrentTab", val, false)
end

you can use only one method for all the tabs!

there are contraindications?

[zeoka]

you don’t need tabnames just index to trig the tabs so I don’t understand what you want with tabname
