uiCustomComponent parent

[dasfaker]

Hi Atom

I try to get the parent of a uiCustomComponent to get the modulator value, but what I get using getParentComponent() is Object type [CtrlrPanelCanvasLayer] instead of the modulator.

How can I get the modulator? Thx

[atom]

getting the parent component will always return the COMPONENT (that is the UI object that the current component belongs to), so that’s 100% ok the parent of any Component on a panel is the Layer that component is on.

Modulators are not UI objects

So how do I do to get access to Modulator and MIDI sections of a modulator from the drawing function of a uiCustomComponent for instance, where I only have comp?

[atom]

I thought we had that discussion, you use the getOwner() method on that Component, the owner of the component is always it’s modulator, the components parent is always some other component (in case it’s the topmost component, the Desktop is it’s parent)

Oh shit, I forgot that, sorry for wasting your time. Thx.

-- Called when a component needs repainting
-- @comp
-- @g    http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_lua_graphics.html
--              see also http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/api/classGraphics.html
--
paintclass = function(comp,g)
clval = comp:getOwner():getValue() 
g:setColour(Colour(0x40000000))
g:fillRoundedRectangle(11,13,clval,69,4)  
end

I’ve added modulatorValue property

-- Called when a mouse DOWN (any mouse button) event happens on a component
-- @comp
-- @event   http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/api/classMouseEvent.html
--
createclassval = function(comp, event)

classX = event.x 
classY = event.y
if classX <= 127 then
comp:getOwner():setModulatorValue(classX,false,true,false)
comp:repaint()
end
end

-- Called when a modulator value changes
-- @mod   http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
-- @value    new numeric value of the modulator
--
mod2paint = function(mod, value)
mod:getComponent():repaint()
end

I’ve linked a modulator to the custom comp and it sends the sysex
when I move this modulator
but when I click on the cusom component it doesn’t send the sysex
A property I missed ?
