Radio Buttons Bug? Please help

[iceleben]

Hello,
I have a Problem with Radio Buttons. Allthough only one Button is active and the other Display a False Message and even Show in their current Modulator Value a 0 – if I test them in a Lua Script panel:getModulatorByName(“Number1”):getModulatorValue() they still have a value of 1. Attached is an example whats going wrong…
If you have any Workaround please help – I dont know how to adress the Buttons in a Lua Script

it seems to me that radio buttons do not work with uiImagebButtons. With a standard uiButton it works when you leave the on/off values to default 0 and 1. I used them on my Moog Source panel.

I didn’t use radio buttons but used classical uiImageButtons (2 images – On and Off states) that are all in the same RadioGroup property number (+ Component is member of a group).
Name your buttons as for example Bank1 to Bank16.
When you will toggle one ON, the others are toggled OFF immediately.
This is when you are acting on the panel.

Then in Lua, if you need to set one of them ON (for example after recieving and reading a patch dump), I set first all of them to OFF then the desired one to ON by using (I have 2 radiogroups, one for Banks and one for Presets – Moog Sub37):

-- Illuminate corresponding Bank and Preset buttons
for i=0,16 do
	btnBank = panel:getModulatorByName("btnBank"..i)
	btnBank:setValue(0,false)
	btnPreset = panel:getModulatorByName("btnPreset"..i)
	btnPreset:setValue(0,false)
end
btnBank = panel:getModulatorByName("btnBank"..PresetBank)
btnBank:setValue(1,false)
btnPreset = panel:getModulatorByName("btnPreset"..PresetNumber)
btnPreset:setValue(1,false)

To read them, you can have one unique OnChange method for all. The same method will be called but has the changed modulator as argument “mod”. You set a Lua variable iSelectedBank by using

if value == 1 then
  sName= L(mod:getName())
  iSelectedBank = tonumber(string.sub(sName,1,2))
end

As 2 modulators will change their value (one going to 1, the other to 0), you need to test for the one going to 1).

Please try and let us know… 🙂

Goodweather must be right (as always :-). I just saw that in my panels I did not have to check which radio button is set to 1, so forget my post above – sorry.

To add something useful: when you use “mod” and “value” in a method attached to OnChange of the buttons it should look like this:

checkButtons=function(mod,value)

 if value == 1 then
   sName= L(mod:getName())
   iSelectedBank = tonumber(string.sub(sName,1,2))
 end

end
