Sending/Receiving Patch Name

[TK.]

Hi,

what is the best method for making a patch name editable?

Currently I’m using an uiLabel component with enabled edit option.

For each character in the patch dump (received via SysEx) I’m doing following copy operation into uiLabelText (which works fine):
[code:2wsm8qo5]
if( ix < 0x10 ) then — patchname
local modulator = panel:getModulatorByName("PatchName"):getComponent()
local name = string.format("%-16s", modulator:getPropertyString("uiLabelText"))
name = string.format("%s%c%s", string.sub(name, 0, ix), value, string.sub(name, ix+2, -1))
modulator:setPropertyString("uiLabelText", name)
[/code:2wsm8qo5]

Now I would like to send back an edited patch name, but it seems that uiLabel doesn’t provide a Lua callback.
So, which alternative method could be used?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Add a button near the label field to apply the modification ? Personnally, I stick with 16 combos with letters and value ” title=”Wink” />

I’ll add a lua callback to the label when the text is changed, i wanted to add a TextEditor component but noone ever asked for it but it’s not a problem it’s a simple task, this one will be editable in "live" mode without clicking (with apropriate LUA callbacks ofcourse).

Could that label have a maximum lenght property ? and a list of valid character ? Of course that could be coded in the callback if too complicated ” title=”Wink” />

it’s possible i think, i’ll see what i can do

It’s already done both the callback for changes and the limits for both length and allowed characters.
