uiToggleButton – how to stop focus boundary from drawing?

[jasefos]

Howdy CTRLR heads,

Just working on my Ensoniq ESQ1 panel and have come across a cosmetic issue which someone may be able to assist with. Whenever a uiToggleButton is clicked on (regardless of if in Panel mode or editing mode) you end up with a rectangle being drawn around the perimeter for the component’s boundary which disappears only when you click on another component.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

I’ve scrolled up and down through the various properties and can’t find the switch to do it.

I tried using uiButton instead and put it in Toggle mode however it doesn’t send the two states of the button – only uiToggleButton sends the MIDI message I need that works (Multi part message being NRPN control of on/off states of different elements of the synth).

Cheers!

I guess this is just how it works.
; )

I’ll use a different component type instead.
Oh well!

Cheers!

I can try and add a property that will set a colour for that i guess, you could make it transparent then.

Hi Atom,

Nice of you to spend a moment to reply!
Hope life is treating you well.

I tried using the other Boolean button types (uiImageButton for example) however I couldn’t get them to work as expected. I couldn’t get the True condition to actually send the events.

It would be good however if focus outline for uiToggle could be optional rather than forced – I can’t see why anyone would want the existing behaviour. Setting alpha to 00 in a colour property will suffice in the meantime.

p.s. much respect as always – loving CTRLR. Still yet to get deep into LUA but I really need to with new panel project on the go (Ensoniq ESQ1 – which I’ve got complete working as a One-Way Snapshot editor but want to expand functionality) and revisiting the Roland MKS80 editor I started.

I already did that and it will be an option, the next build will have that.

Sweet! Nice work 😉
