Radio group value

[goodweather]

Hi,
I created a radio group 1 with 16 “Bank” buttons and a radio group 2 with 16 “Preset” buttons.
I want to send a message like

	m = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xB0, 0x20, Bank})
	panel:sendMidiMessageNow(m)
	m = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xC0, Preset})
	panel:sendMidiMessageNow(m)

Questions:

• what is the code / property to retrieve the value of the Bank and Preset radio groups?
• shall I indicate this method for all buttons in the Preset radio groups? Then identify which one has been pressed OR is it a central place to put the callback for the complete radio group at once?

Thx in advance for any help!

radio group is just used to have only one button to value 1

here you have a bunch of 0&1 values

may be you could use property like cutomIndex

one method (for bank and another for presets) to aplly to all buttons :
first get a varaible (value) how? ask to own button wich index it uses
it is called index x here
put a stetement like :
“if value == 1 then send midi (index x as value)”

a problem : radio button function only works with mousedown not with patch update

Can someone point out {a quick tip} on how to create a radio group or where to find in the manual

Hi, here are some instructions:
– create your different buttons (uiImageButton) with 2 values 0 1 and 2 image frames
– give them a name including the position of the button (this is only needed if you want to act on the radio group by a lua program). Like Preset1 Preset2…Preset16
– Put a value in the Radio group property for all the buttons that are in the same radio group. For example 1
– clicking on one button will set it ON and the others OFF

To perform some action based on the selected button you need to build a lua program.
– create a lua method with type luaModulatorValueChange that will be triggered by all the buttons of the same radio group
– in your PanelLoaded method, add the declaration of all the modulators used in the radio group and put those variables in an array. This will make the scanning easier. So:

modPreset1 = panel:getModulatorByName("Preset1")
modPreset2 = panel:getModulatorByName("Preset2")
modPreset..
modPreset16 = panel:getModulatorByName("Preset16")
tPresets = {modPreset1, modPreset2, modPreset.., modPreset16}

– in your modulator change method you can now scan all Presets buttons to find the one which is ON. Use some code like this:

for i=1,#tPresets do
	if tPresets[ i ]:getModulatorValue()==1 then do_something end
 end

Hope it will help
