I am trying to make a listbox display dynamically changing content using Lua, and although the change shows up in the xml-view the listbox itself does not reflect this change. At best i get one field that is selectable, but no text at all. In other content-customisable modulators (like UiFixedSlider) i get this working without a hitch.
Any idea what might cause this?
cheerz,

I did some more trying in the mean while and found out i made an error in the syntax, now all is working as expected 😀
Attached the “proof-of concept” panel of this functionality in case other people want to look into it.
One thing does stump me still though, for the uiFixedSliders the values only get updated when the modulator itself changes value. Is there a way to force these “new” values so they update visually instantly? In the uiListbox it “just works”.
The update happens when the range of the slider changes, the range changes if the amount of elements on the list changes, you set the list to 3 elements always, try adding
c:setPropertyString("uiFixedSliderContent","")before setting the actual value, that will clear the list and trigger a range change in the slider. The ListBox does that always because it’s stupid that way (it has no underlying logic that the Slider class)
Cool, thanks Atom.
I also noticed that when resetting the range this way it jumps to its “base” value (of course), but this can be remedied by grabbing the value @ start of the script and assign it again after doing the content manipulation, allowing visually seamless switching 🙂
This will make my rebuild (v3 lol) alot more practical – i used 5 different modulators for “cutoff” alone in the last rev to make sure the right values were indicated, and switched visibility for them depending on filtertype. But this made a mess for automation purposes as you can imagine…
