DSP Robotics Support

So, I'd posted throughout the forum regarding the dropdown menu for a preset manager I have been working on. I figured that until it is in a complete form that I would post the various versions in perhaps a hope that someone might want to offer suggestions or even contribute.

It'd be refreshing to collaborate. I'm trying to stay away from ruby though.

Here's the download: download


+ Adding dropdown menu justify left, center right.
+ adding a filemanager sort of minimalized popup that allows the creation of categories (with folder images).
+ favorites and rating maybe (using three states of smily faces.)
+ adding a nice gui style in the properties panel
+ making the properties less modular (all in one place)
+ adding the option to only hide menu on unfocus (Thanks Trogluddite)
+ adding integration of tooltips (one style for help in the style of dialogue, the other rounded rect)
+ adding integrated touchscreen support (thanks pall)

Here's some pictures (click to see enlarged image)





So, I cleaned up the code a lot. I'm guessing it will be even cleaner when i am done.

BTW, was thinking, Mods; Maybe a Beta section?

Anyways, decided against rating; Only using favorites with font driven star in two colours for on/off

That's not something we have the authority to do, unfortunately. I've often thought myself that the forum sections could do with extending - e.g. dedicated Ruby/ASM coding sections, "release" versions of plugins/exes, etc. You could try suggesting it via an email to support, but I wouldn't be too optimistic - even the spam-blocking features that myself and Spogg have begged for seem to be a long time coming!

Following this, interesting.

Yep, ah well. Anyways, made some headway making the settings for this modular. Next will be the dropdown align. Next folders and so on.

Anyways, I had a breakthrough for plugins. And that is a replacement mouse system. Think, You could have one drag y x on the parent module. And then an x y logger. Next all you would need is a mousedown event for the knob and x,y can do the rest. There would be no feedback that way because the x and y are already initiated. The redraws are next to nothing. A knob would only need merely the graphic strip!

Sick right? I think it's the future.

The reason for the drag xy is so that if the cursor goes off the plugin container it's still active. It also allows judging mouseup.

So, basically, I want in the final version to be a take on the ultra analog va 2 by aas's style.

But, slightly different. The AAS team like to seperate the folder from the presets, but I like the idea of having scrolls. So, here's an idea of that in an image. I was pressed for time so use Your imagination.

Mmk, so fork of this project is here:
http://dsprobotics.com/support/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16592&p=51864#p51864

Which supercedes this one as they are both going in the same direction.

Great work Robert.

Thanks. But now I have to change this project over to 100% Ruby. There was a conflict between the ruby and prims at different speeds. It worked 2 out of 4 times and then starts to work after. Ruby dropdowns are fine too; So that's doable.

I just need to rewrite one so that it has all of the same features as the prim version.
