Utility Plugin - for simple delphi components

[Scherzkeks]

nice Graphics!

the Button 4 sample does not work for me, there is

Code: Select all

"[PubDir]\KnobImg0.png"

which should be

Code: Select all

"[PubDir]KnobImg0.png"

and there is a embedded instead of PubDir

Code: Select all

hpwUtilitySetVar "[RKnob4_OnChangeAction]" "SetVar [#34][#91]NewPosition4[#93][#34] [#34][#91]RKnob4_Position[#93][#34][#13][#10]hpwKnobLoadBackgroundImage [#34]RKnob4[#34] [#34][#91]Embedded[#93]KnobImg[#91]RKnob4_Position[#93].png[#34]"

Code: Select all

hpwUtilitySetVar "[RKnob4_OnChangeAction]" "SetVar [#34][#91]NewPosition4[#93][#34] [#34][#91]RKnob4_Position[#93][#34][#13][#10]hpwKnobLoadBackgroundImage [#34]RKnob4[#34] [#34][#91]PubDir[#93]KnobImg[#91]RKnob4_Position[#93].png[#34]"

cheers

Hm,

Works for me with and without the \ . Strange.
The embedded was alternativly tested.
In a real Pub the knob graphics will be mostly be embeddded, so they are sure stored.

Ps: The graphic was found in the Internet after googeling 'free knob graphics'. And neopaints clone tool help to make the different versions.

Hello HPW and others,

I'm testing your plugin. The variable [Rectanglename_OnChangeAction] work ? I built a knob for the Pan sound in NeoBookDX (left, right).

Minimum knob value : 0
Maximum knob value : 127
Start knob Value : 63

I would like to assign a command that expresses the following idea. When the value is "63", replace 63 by the text "CENTER" or "0".

I am also looking for a solution to change the value in Negative and Positive.

Example :
Is greater than the value 63 : +1, +2, +3 to +63.
Is less than the value 63 : -1, -2, -3 to -63.
So, Middle = CENTER or 0.

Do you have an idea about the process to use ?
I know your plugin is very young, but there may be a solution...

Thank you.

This is more a scripting question:

With Center

Code: Select all

hpwUtilitySetVar "[RKnob_OnChangeAction]" "If [#34][#91]RKnob_Position[#93][#34] [#34]=[#34] [#34]63[#34][#13][#10]  SetVar [#34][#91]NewPosition[#93][#34] [#34]Center[#34][#13][#10]Else[#13][#10]  SetVar [#34][#91]NewPosition[#93][#34] [#34][#91]RKnob_Position[#93]-63[#34][#13][#10]EndIf"


With 0

Code: Select all

hpwUtilitySetVar "[RKnob4_OnChangeAction]" "SetVar [#34][#91]NewPosition[#93][#34] [#34][#91]RKnob_Position[#93]-63[#34]"


You might set Max to 126 so 63 become Max.

[UltraVox]

Great!
Thank you very much

[HPW]

You can do it even simpler:

Code: Select all

hpwUtilitySetVar "[hpwKnobMinPosition]" "-63"
hpwUtilitySetVar "[hpwKnobMaxPosition]" "63"
hpwUtilitySetVar "[RKnob1_StartPosition]" "0"

Just released hpwUtility 2.37:

http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/n ... book4.html

Cursor over Knob changes to crHandPoint

Variables:
[Rectanglename_KnobOnLClickAction] - fired when clicked outside the knobcircle but inside the knobrectangle.
[Rectanglename_KnobLClickX]
[Rectanglename_KnobLClickY]
[Rectanglename_BackGroundOnLClickAction] - fired when clicked on the background (only when image is loaded)
[Rectanglename_BackGroundLClickX]
[Rectanglename_BackGroundLClickY]

With the LClickAction you can fake additional GUI-graphics on the images and click on them by checking for the right X/Y values.
Example: Place a plus and minus sign on the image and click on it to raise or lower the knob value,

[UltraVox]

Just released hpwUtility 2.38:

http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/n ... book4.html

Mousemove over Knob slightly improved performance.

Before 2.38 the round region for knob-detection was created on each mousemove-event.
Now the region is created on formcreate and only the inside-circle detection is performed in OnMouseMove.
