CtrlrLuaUtils

[SWB]

I use CtrlrLuaUtils to invoke a window to allow a user to input (in my case) a (preset)name:

perName = utils.askForTextInputWindow(“Performance Name”,””,”Grand Piano”,”New name:”,false,”OK”,”Cancel”).

Basically it works fine, but the strange thing is that each time I start Ctrlr it ALWAYS shows this window first. When I click on a button the window disappears and the rest of the panel is shown. This is a bit annoying. How can one avoid this behavior?

Secondly, how do I know which button is clicked by an user?

Thans for any input or help!

Have a loop at the PopupMenu demo, it shows how to avoid things popping up on start

Thanks! I show the code here, so other forum members can also benefit.

function storePerformance()

if panel:getBootstrapState() then — avoid showing the dialog window at startup

return

end

inputPerformanceName() — calls the dialog window to input user text

mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0xB0, 0x75, 0x00, 0x13, 0xF7})

panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)

end

——————————————————————-

function inputPerformanceName()

perfName = utils.askForTextInputWindow(“Performance Name”,””,”Grand Piano”,”New name:”,false,”OK”,”Cancel”)

pn = string.format(perfName)

console(pn)

end

Still my question how to know which button (OK or Cancel) is clicked. I try of course to find out myself, but it saves time if someone points me in the direction where to look 😉

With that call you can’t tell witch button was clicked, there is a special class for that called AlertWindow i’ll add that to Ctrlr soon, those utils. calls are not too complicated.

[SWB]

Thanks! Do I have to wait until you have added that class or is there another way to get user input?

[atom]

Please wait i’ll add this today i hope with an example panel.

[SWB]

OK. TIA!

[Mr.ToR]

was this issue resolved?
I can not obtain which button was clicked as well.
This applies to utils.askForTextInputWindow
utils.questionWindow tells which button was clicked.

Getting into the same issue.
Does anyone knows how to know the user has pressed the Cancel button?
If this is not possible, what workaround are you using?
Thx in advance!
