Asigning values to combo box ALWAYS send midi

[artofnois]

When I recive a sysex message and translate to panel modulators, the Combobox allways send associated midi message, which is a problem changing again the synth value.
I trid with setModulatorValue, setValue, …..

Yes, it’s annoying.

Until this is solved, you could do the following (not tested): Before assigning values, change the midi message type of all needed combos to none, so the don’t output any midi message, assign the values and restore the midi message type of the combos.

There is a special method to control the Combo as a GUI only component, and you can change the contents of the combo without it doing anything else.

c = panel:getCombo(“myCombo”)
c:setText (“Value 1”, true)

(true means DONT send change message, this is the only place where JUCE has this the other way aroung, instead of true meaning YES SEND CHANGE message this is the other way around)

But this only displays the new content in the combo, and as soon you click on the combo to show the list of elements, the new content is gone and the old list is still there.
