Pad selectors(or "radio" selectors)

[billv]

Can u change it 4 me so i can (de-)select multiple pads while dragging ?

That's where it began actually Walter, the radio selector version was just a quick detour...
I was trying to build a "Multi-purpose Grid Template" ...anyway...
Control....
1. left mouse click/drag = Draw
2. rightmouse click/drag = Delete
3. Right double click = Delete all
Outputs...
1. Selection
2. Selection array
3. Alt value
4. Alt value array
5. Boolean Array

Notes:
Mouse capture is standard and not accurate... having trouble writing the accurate mouse in...
Preset is working, but note I've used the Preset String Prim. Don't really trust it....not sure...
It claims a max of 256 chr, but I'm still getting results with more than 256 chr.

Hope its useful...Thanks for feedback Walter...Cheers

That's once again a restriction of the VST 2.4 standard (255 bytes plus null byte = 256 byte string). Byte = char in plain ASCII. So it might work with more chars, but those hosts exactly supporting VST2.4 won't. Just make sure you use 255 chars at most to stay compatible with the standard.

Thanks tulamide. Preset String Prim was a bad choice.
Not suitable...will go back to VST Parameter Array Prim
and try to fix bug that made me change to Preset String Prim.

nearly perfect billv...

I need to deselect also via LDown (Touch-Screen) - is this possible 4U???

Thanks again
Walter

P.S.: Please exclude the edge area from Mouse area - if doable!
This way diagonal mouse moves (with greater edges around the pads) are possible wo activating all pads around...

Yeh maybe.....I can "see" a way forward on this....but will take a fair bit of re-writing..
Got some days off soon.....have patience Walter...I'm a bit slow....

Saw that issue with diagonal moves...had no idea how to fix....
Thanks for the tip Walter... I've seen the other guys use "inner" and "outer" technique...
Not real confident here but will take a look at that too.

Amazing stuff, billv. It's a pearl.

If you could remove the limitation of fixed grid size and put a scroller (like in trogs super-text module), would be great, so then we can finally abandon the nasty drop list prim for reading text files from folders and making them selectable straight from the GUI. Trog's one is quite good and cleaver module, but sometimes freaks out, makes difficult to locate the text in the right position and not always reads the incoming array (especially string array) from the preset. Yours is much reliable.

Bummer you got issues with that. I built a program earlier in the year( was lost in crash)
that used Trog's Radio extensively, and it worked great. It's a great piece of work, but
real hard for noobs to modify code cause you got to work around Trog's monster brain...
(that's the only reason I had to build my own...
I couldn't work out how to get rid of the spacings in-between each graphic.. )

Yeh ..I saw this too a while back....defiantly want a version like that as well..
On the list somewhere.. looks like a fun mod too...
PS
Nice job on the graphics for gurus..that site is really looking good..will be massive in a few years..

I need to deselect also via LDown (Touch-Screen) - is this possible 4U???

This is done now . I'm getting a slight bug though...clicking really fast on/off is buggy.
Clicking normal speed on/off is fine....I'll up it when it's faultless...or near as i can get...
This new behavior kind of works well in practice and makes sense Walter.

EDIT:
@kortezzzz...
If you can isolate the issue with Trog's radio, stick it in example fsm and up it to General section,
I'm sure the gurus can probably sort it out if Trog's busy/not around...

...awesome news

Yeah - this mouse behaviour is a little mess - i know it 2 well inside my own projects

btw: if u even make a gradient possible in the back 4 each pad - this would be nice 2!

keep on doing!

Yep! I also tried to fix the spaces for almost a damn hour before ended up with a reasonable compromise.
And the preset thing almost made me loose my mind before I found out that the string array input can't be
fed straight from text prim. But cheers to trog for the pioneering

On the list somewhere

Great news

Thanks. Was glad to have a chance to contribute my modest contribution to the community.

this mouse behaviour is a little mess

Worked out the issue last night. Problem is this Walter.
EG: Switch is on...left click and release mouse... switch turns off..perfect..
But if you move the mouse after click and before release, the mouse capture
is activated and will quickly turn the switch back on..
In other words, LMouse Down delete works....but only if you dont move the mouse
and activate the mouse capture...
End result is it feels like a bug to the user....I can't see a way around this ATM...

if u even make a gradient possible in the back 4 each pad - this would be nice 2!

Color/Gradient options should't be hard....will take a look at that too...
