String problem

[zeoka]

What’s wrong here?

-- Called when a modulator value changes
-- @mod   http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
-- @value    new numeric value of the modulator
--
label = function(mod, value)
updlbl = panel:getComponent("TrigSel")
lb1 = panel:getComponent("01SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
lb2 = panel:getComponent("02SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
lb3 = panel:getComponent("03SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
lb4 = panel:getComponent("04SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
--updlbl:setProperty("uiListBoxContent",string.format("%s \n %s \n %s \n %s",lb1,lb2,lb3,lb4),false) 
-- string expected , got user data 
panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):setText(lb1)
panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):setText(lb2)
panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):setText(lb3)
panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):setText(lb4)
-- the components texts are displayed correctly in four texts
end

it seems setText get lb1 as text format with “” or convert user data in string .that’s working but string.format get it as user data I don’t know
why. I tried to quote lb1 with string.format and %q ,tried string.sub too.
I search on google but no success

This is a listbox that get current rows selected of four other listboxes
I would try to do.the script is applied to the four mods.

any idea ??

Try this (not tested)

updlbl:setPropertyString(“uiListBoxContent”,string.format(“%s \n %s \n %s \n %s”,lb1,lb2,lb3,lb4),false)

[zeoka]

I ve already tried
Could i try different way to “mix” these strings or not and put them in
the listbox ?

[zeoka]

the console returns string however

Remove “false” at the end.

This line is working for me

list1:getComponent():setPropertyString("uiListBoxContent",
string.format("%s%s%s",text12,"\n",text11))

Yes I did removed the bool
not tried to format the separators… done
but there is still the bad argument #2

may be the result is in char index and setText converts it to string
while PropertyString not… strange
or the result lacks “” and setText add it

updlbl:setPropertyString(“uiListBoxContent”,lb1)
WORKING
updlbl:setProperty(“uiListBoxContent”,lb1,false)
NOT WORKING

but the mix isn’t working
updlbl:setPropertyString(“uiListBoxContent”,string.format(“%s%s%s%s%s%s%s”,lb1,”\n”,lb2,”\n”,lb3,”\n”,lb4))
tried this :
updlbl:getSelectedRow(1):setPropertyString(“uiListBoxContent”,lb1)
updlbl:getSelectedRow(2):setPropertyString(“uiListBoxContent”,lb2)

attempt to index a number value…
selectRow() ??

[zeoka]

even if I do :

updlbl = panel:getComponent("TrigSel")
lb1 = panel:getComponent("01SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):setText(lb1)
console(lb1)
lb2 = panel:getComponent("02SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):setText(lb2)
console(lb2)
lb3 = panel:getComponent("03SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):setText(lb3)
console(lb3)
lb4 = panel:getComponent("04SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):setText(lb4)
console(lb4)
z1 = panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):getText()
z2 = panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):getText()
z3 = panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):getText()
z4 = panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):getText()
updlbl:setPropertyString("uiListBoxContent",string.format("%s%s%s%s%s%s%s",z1,"\n",z2,"\n",z3,"\n",z4)) 

Same problem. LUA issue ?

[dasfaker]

Could there be some duplicated name? Some variable with the same name as some modulator or some data?

[zeoka]

no
A new panel checked the modulator list names ,vst indexes …

updlbl = panel:getComponent("TrigSel")
lb1 = panel:getComponent("01SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):setText(lb1)
console(lb1)
lb2 = panel:getComponent("02SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):setText(lb2)
console(lb2)
lb3 = panel:getComponent("03SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):setText(lb3)
console(lb3)
lb4 = panel:getComponent("04SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):setText(lb4)
console(lb4)
z1 = panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):getText()
--w1 = string.format("%q",z1)
z2 = panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):getText()
--w2 = string.format("%q",z2)
z3 = panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):getText()
--w3 = string.format("%q",z3)
z4 = panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):getText()
--w4 = string.format("%q",z4)
     --string.gsub(panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):getText(), "(%w+)", print) tried to print :) 
lbl = string.gsub("z1,z2,z3,z4",",","\n") 
i = "\n"
     --lbl = string.format("%q%s%q%s%q%s%q",lb1,i,lb2,i,lb3,i,lb4) no
updlbl:setPropertyString("uiListBoxContent",string.format("%s",lbl)) 
     -- i get row 1:z1  row2:z2 etc.. texts :( but it's a start . how to convert a function to string ? 
     --  string.format ?? :D   
--updlbl:setPropertyString("uiListBoxContent",lb1)

nothing to do ..

The problem here is that the listBox content is user data, and not a string. Can’t find a way to extract a string from there.

The best solution I see is, as you know the content of the listBoxes, create a list with the content of the listBoxes (list = {“BassDrum 1″,”BassDrum 2″,”Bass”,
“Bass Saw”…}) and as you can get the row selected on the list box, pass this value to the list, this way you get a string.

Thank you Dasfaker
You’re right it’s damage to add a table while I keep especialy 24 litbox contents for easy use
I planned to add a tab with the 24 + 1 listboxes
I double click on the soundselect listbox goes to selected sound label tab. I click on a label the tab goes to the soundselect listbox
if I don’t click until 10 sec it returns to soundselect listbox

well I plan to get label listboxes component text ,transforms them as a table ,get label boxes values and string.format with tables that’s sure method
At least I’ll write a table
Thank you again Dasfaker

[zeoka]

I get it !

label = function(mod, value)

updlbl = panel:getComponent("TrigSel")
lb1 = panel:getComponent("01SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):setText(lb1)

lb2 = panel:getComponent("02SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):setText(lb2)

lb3 = panel:getComponent("03SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):setText(lb3)

lb4 = panel:getComponent("04SoundLabel"):getComponentText()
panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):setText(lb4)

z1 = panel:getComponent("modulator-5"):getProperty("uiLabelText")
z2 = panel:getComponent("modulator-7"):getProperty("uiLabelText")
z3 = panel:getComponent("modulator-8"):getProperty("uiLabelText")
z4 = panel:getComponent("modulator-9"):getProperty("uiLabelText")
 
i = "\n"
lbl = string.format("01: %s%s02: %s%s03: %s%s04: %s",z1,i,z2,i,z3,i,z4) 
updlbl:setPropertyString("uiListBoxContent",string.format("%s",lbl)) 

I need to check inside the label cpp if I see magic formula inside
“Called when the contents of a Label are changed” or in the component
Atom ?

[atom]

What would you like to know ? I don’t think i got the question.

[zeoka]

Hi Atom
I would like to know how I could replace texts used to get the component text and to send to string.format formula ?
getComponentText -> label:setText = string
getComponentText -> string.format or whatever string.* = userdata
label:getProperty(“uiLabelText”) -> string.format = string
possible to convert ?

[atom]

I still don’t get it, you want to replace “texts” used to get “component text” and send to string.format formula >

I really don’t know what do you mean…
