  • 1.  List of parameters - missing scrollbar

    Posted 07-31-2017 21:24
    So... I plan on using DashBoard for controlling certain parts of a Carbonite One, and to make it even more versatile, I plan on adding Apple Scripts to it in order to also trigger certain parts of QLAB. Basically just tell QLAB to run a certain Cue.

    In this specific case, I am trying to make a parameter list and let the user pick one song from this list to then play.
    I got the list ready, and the "GO" button to send to QLAB, and the communication set up. However, this list consists of 15 songs, though in DashBoard, and the size of that parameter list, I can only view 3 songs at a time.
    When I make the paramter pick in dashboard, I pick the appereance of the list to the far right on the options. As it has a scrollbar on it, and I should be able to use that... Or so I was hoping...

    However, when the list is then created, I am missing the scrollbar on the right hand side, and I cannot scroll down the window. Is there an option I am missing to turn this on or???

    (Dunno if that made sense, i can provide pictures if you wish...)

    Sure can do!

    These are two parameter views.

    Left one being a dropdown (with a scrollbar letting me move up and down (if it was a longer list).
    Right one being a list where I want to be able to scroll up and down as needed.

    This parameter does not embed itself in a scrolling pane by default. For now, you can add scrolling support to it by adding scrolling="true" to the param tag.

    <param expand="true" height="115" left="160" oid="OID_OF_YOUR_PARAMETER scroll="vertical" top="294" width="230"/>

    Here is a complete example:

    <abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Test" oid="Test" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="list">
            <constraint key="0">a</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">b</constraint>
            <constraint key="2">c</constraint>
            <constraint key="3">d</constraint>
            <constraint key="4">e</constraint>
            <constraint key="5">f</constraint>
            <constraint key="6">g</constraint>
            <constraint key="7">h</constraint>
            <constraint key="8">i</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="115" left="38" oid="Test" scroll="vertical" top="41" width="230"/>
</abs>

    Aha! It doesnt add it by default! That makes alot more sense. Thank you! Sorted now!
    Can I suggest adding this option to either the "style" or "position/Stretch" panes for later.

    Once again, thanks!

    You're welcome!

    We do expose the attribute for container tags (abs, simplegrid, table, etc.) in the UI already.
    Doing this for a list parameter is a bit of a workaround as it should have its own option for turning scrolling off/on.

    Would anyone be able to share the OG Script example to trigger GO from Dashboard to Qlab, and any other commands you Have? I would appreciate the help.

    Cheers Rod
