@lossius finally I assign to you as it is maybe related to the code you rewrite into TTData

lossius commented 9 years ago

Hmm, this works as expected here...

Dragging the uppermost object box upwards beyond 256, the parameter is clamped to 256. Dragging it below 0 it is clamped to 0.

I do however see a problem with j.return in the patch: If you drag it up above 256 the displayed value is permitted to go beyond 256. The reason is that j.remote does not output any set messages in response to incoming values. Ditto for when you move below 0. However, if you look at what is output from j.parameter, it is clear that that value is clamped.

I believe that the two possible solutions to this are either:

  1. The developer has to set min and max values for GUI widgets in the views
  2. We could automatically forward the range attribute values of j.parameter to the widget to set min and/or max value. I'm not wild about this though, as only some widgets (like the number box) will be able to make sense of this message, and live.widgets can't have their min and max attributes changed dynamically.

I wouldn't really consider this a bug at all, but rather a slight inconvenience that the developer of views have to take into consideration.

Reassigning to @theod for feedback

A last, and possible better solution would be that if you attempt to set a j.remote to a value that is out of range, it outputs a set value in respons to get it right again.

lossius commented 9 years ago

OK, and on further examination I start to see what the real problem is with j.remote here. It actually does send set messages all the time, but only as long as the input message is within the range.
