quick question

[Layzer2]

anyone besides Atom know if its possible to switch tabs with a modulator? say……a UiImageButton?
the reason i want to know is i need to switch a group of buttons on the panel to send a diff set of sysex
messages on the toggle of one switch. the way im going to do it, is make all the tabs transparant so they
are invisible. but the knob states switch back n forth between the 2 tabs.

if so how is it done? thanks!

Add a LUA method to the uiButton to change the tab:

tab = panel:getModulatorByName("Tab_Name")

if tab~= nil then
if tab:getModulatorValue() ~= newValue then
tab:setModulatorValue (newValue, false, false, true)
end
end

You can do it without LUA, just link the modulator (the controlling modulator buton/combo) to the uiTabs/Component property. It’s shown in the example panel: DEMO – Layers and Tabs.panel it should be in the latest nightly installer, if not download it from http://ctrlrv4.svn.sourceforge.net/view … v4/Panels/

awesome! much thanks guys! this is for the Access Matrix 1000 programmer panel…. allthough it would
be so simple to just make separate knobs and buttons for those that get shifted by the env2 and env3 buttons,
it would not be an exact replica of how the unit functions. most of the fun is that challenge involved in trying to do just that!
