How to get the buttons to work with a method?

[EnzoF04]

I’m a bit confused about the buttons to be added to the panel. How do they work?

I guess my assumption is wrong. I assume that one can add a button and link a method to it on the “Called when a mouse is down on this component.” I’ve had a hard time with the buttons. :#

thanks for all help!

Take the modulatorvalue 0 or 1. Might be you have to take 1 for off and the 0 for on because you use a mouse event. Noticed in my own panel I had to do it in reverse..

Or put it directly with sysex.. where in the sysex 0x00 = off or 0x01 is on, usually. There are cases when 0x00 is off and then there is a value 1-127. But it’s hard to tell without an example.

FYI…
“Called when the modulator value changes” property is triggered when the value change (impressive 😉 ). So for example when you turn a modulator or when you press a button.
“Called when the mouse is down on this component” is triggered when the user clicks on a component.
Notice that value change is working on a modulator while on click is working on a component which is under a modulator.

Look at my Pro2 panel. I’m making extensive use of that for showing help text and current value (OnClick) or when changing the value (OnChange)

I have it, problem is the difference between the method. Thanks for the replies.

What is the difference between:

midiOn = function(--[[ CtrlrModulator --]] mod, --[[ number --]] value, --[[ number --]] source)

and
function doSomething()
and
Thanks for clearing out!
