don't run if panel is loading

[msepsis]

I know there was a thread about this but I can’t seem to find it.

I have an editor panel that has buttons to save and load data to a file. When I open the exported instance the scripts fire for the buttons while the panel is loading. What is the code I put into the scripts for the save/load buttons that says “Do not run this script if the panel is loading” I only want the scripts to run when the button is pressed – NOT when the panel is loading. It causes all sorts of confusion.

Thank you

Hi

if mod:getComponent():getChildComponent(normally 0 for a uiButton):isMouseButtonDown then ….

You tried this ?

[msepsis]

Ok. your line was missing the function arguments… i suspect you meant:

	if mod:getComponent():getChildComponent(0):isMouseButtonDown()

		--stuff to do

	end

This just prevents anything within the if statement from running period, even when the button is clicked/pressed/true/on. I’m mainly using 1590 but also tried that in the latest mac rev.

You mean that’not working ?

I use latest ctrlr pc
I’ve done this on uiImageButton

--
-- Called when a modulator value changes
-- @mod   http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
-- @value    new numeric value of the modulator
--
BankD = function(mod, newValue)
md5 = mod:getComponent():getChildComponent(0)
stab = panel:getModulatorByName("TabValue"):getModulatorValue()
part = panel:getModulatorByName("PartSelect"):getModulatorValue() + 1
spaint = panel:getModulatorByName(string.format("PartSamplNb-%s",part ))
dnsnd = (spaint:getModulatorValue()) - 128
 if stab == 2 then
    if md5:isMouseButtonDown() then
       if dnsnd >= 0 then 
       spaint:setModulatorValue(dnsnd,false,true,false)
      end
   end
end
end

-- Called when a modulator value changes
-- @mod   http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
-- @value    new numeric value of the modulator
--
BankU = function(mod, newValue)
md6 = mod:getComponent():getChildComponent(0)
stab = panel:getModulatorByName("TabValue"):getModulatorValue()
part = panel:getModulatorByName("PartSelect"):getModulatorValue() + 1
spaint = panel:getModulatorByName(string.format("PartSamplNb-%s",part ))
upsnd = (spaint:getModulatorValue()) + 128
 if stab == 2 then
    if md6:isMouseButtonDown() then
       if upsnd <= 1023 then 
       spaint:setModulatorValue(upsnd,false,true,false)
   end
end
end
end

In pc this works with all versions
somethimes the compchild is not 0 and that’s hell
Ex:inc/dec buttons mode changes the index or add one and can’t find the good index
even tried to look into the ccp
that’s why I replaced the slider by 2 image buttons
to replace inc/dec button function I use uiButtonRepeat

I had at first same startup issue…

The exact code I gave prevents anything within the if statement from running when the button the script is attached to is pressed on any mac version I’ve tried since 1590.

I’ll check it out on a pc when I’m around a PC. Thanks zeoka.

so the suggestion didn’t work cross-platform so what I did was a bit more complex but worked, at least for my purpose within an exported instance.

I have a simple button (panelLoading) off canvas that’s turned off then a timercallback thats triggered from the “called when panel is loading” script which sets the value to 1 after a few ms.

Then the scripts on the “modulators” that for some reason like to fire off on panel load start off like:

if panelLoading == 0 then 
 elseif panelLoading == 1 then 

	if panel:getBootstrapState() then
			return
	end

--then the actual stuff the button does
end

This resolved my problem on mac, pc and linux in both VST instances and standalone instances. I know there is a method that is supposed to do this (check if the panel is loading) but for some dumb reason (me?) it never worked for me across the board.

The “called when the panel has finished loading” script is not being called in exported instances (at least on Win), this has been discussed several times and it’s and old issue, it has never worked for me.

You can click the option “Log everything to file” in Ctrlr settings and load an exported instance, you’ll see in the log file that this script is not executed, a big problem as we use it to setup the panel once is loaded.

I dont know what to say – 1590 triggers the timer and then callback which is initiated from the script I have on “called when the panel has finished loading” – working on both windows and mac exported stand-alone AND VST instances. If that didn’t work I would have not posted how I worked to resolve the issue I was originally posting about here. I tested this until (more of) my hair turned grey. Even the users who had reported the issue have reported it is now resolved in VST instances on Windows.

It seems what’s more accurate to say is that some things work within “called when the panel has finished loading” script – some things do not. The timer I put there does work or my workaround would not and I would be getting flooded with complaints from people using the VST on windows – as that was the only place the issue manifested.

I hope these details help you with the other issue you’re reporting regarding vst instances etc.

Yea, I managed to find out that the method is in fact executed.
