1) in lua editor, write a ‘init’ method where you set values for all mods/comps that you want to init at startup.
2) Panel mode -> click on canvas to show the ‘panel’ properties -> set property ‘LuaPanelLoaded’ to your ‘init’ method

hi,
> Forget layers and orders!

when ‘overdubbing’ components (e.g. overlaying an image component with a transparent ‘touch button component’) layers are the choice.The ‘graphical’ order (send to back/front) is nor reliable or durable.

Hi Jim,
my recipe in this case: when having identified a ‘lost’ modulator in the modulators list and you want to bring it back: in mod-list, erase the ComponentGroupName entry and, if used, the ComponentTabname, then modify the position (ComponentReacangle) to move it out of the panel area to a position on the ‘free’ workspace canvas (you eventually have to enlarge the canvas): e.g. panel X-Y is 800-600, canvas 800-1000 => move the modulator to 0-900 (eg.: ComponentRectangle = 0 900 30 30)
Deleting via mod-list: are you sure that this not working? Note that after every deletion the mod-list is reordered.

unfortunately not. This covers Lua strings but my problem is in juce. Tried yet again ctrlr look&feel with getAlertWindowMessageFont and getAlertWindowFont definitions/overwrites but neither AlertWindow nor AlertWindow:showMessageBox do react to font settings. I’m close to give up… :-/

the panel uses addTextBlock (only displaying text, no need for editing), but as said, I don’t find a way to formatting. OK, I’ll dive into customcomponent.

the pannels in question are offered both as bpanelz + exe, but I cannot export for OSX 😉

thanks, I would have liked to read out the ctrlr version during panel init to prevent people (ignoring to ‘RTFM’) running the panels on non-functional/depreciated ctrlr installs.

thanks for the replies. The reason why trying to upgrade: I added massive utils.warnWindow() to the panel. Now when loading a panel to a 2nd tab, there’s a ‘bulk popup’ of all those windows (but also of utils.openFileWindow, os.execute(), etc).
Personally I’m used to closing the ‘old’ panel before loading a new one, but users are not and usually load new panel versions without closing the old one, thus flooding their display with ~ 100 popup windows.

Following your recommendation I tried 5.3.201 – same result.

Ctrlr V6 does not have this problem (fast starting time is a nice side effect).

PS. apart the popup flooding no problems with 5.4.29, the panels are stable and can load images.

Is there a simple way to make a toggle button for two SysEx strings.
I want it to be like this
on(1) = F0 41 12 3A 12 70 01 09 01 05 F7
off(0) = F0 41 12 3A 12 70 01 09 00 06 F7
Is this possible whitout LUA?

the question is old but maybe someone else will have the same question.
Answer is yes, use msb/lsb in uiButton:

sysex: F0 41 12 3A 12 70 01 09 ms ls F7 (ms = msb, ls=lsb)

button content : value = ms*16 + ls
OFF = 6 (= 0x06 = 0*16 + 6)
ON = 21 (= 0x15 = 1*16 + 5)

shame on me. I always forget these demos…
