feature request: Allow set default text in text widget #25

Closed ovenwerks closed 8 years ago

ovenwerks commented 8 years ago

Right now a text widget defaults to the widget id on startup. It stays that way till it gets an OSC message. Sometimes that doesn't happen. For example I have 10 "send" strips set up because I don't know how many any one channel will have and I can't:

create a widget on the fly
remotely hide/unhide a widget
change the text colour from background to forground remotely. So they all say sendname1, sendname2 etc. Then if a select another channel with fewer sends The ones I was using are cleared (blank). SO now I have realname, blank, sendname3, etc. Defaulting to either blank or settable text would be nice.

97e8389d4fd8d1a25ceedf6aa89b1500a3123831 adds the possibility to set a default text different from id or label. Sending default to the widget will reset it.

The editor part of the app is quite messy, I might try to make it osc-controllable but don't expect it too soon nor too stable...

Perfect! Sending "default" to the widget is no easier than sending " " :)

No worries. I wouldn't be able to use it on my current project (OSC UI for Ardour) as it needs to be usable by anything from touchosc (yuck), to Pure Data, to homemade hardware. So putting something in there that can send 100lines of *.js to insert in this tab as widget n is more than should be in there. My own HW project is a ways away just yet.

So don't be in a hurry to include adding widgets by OSC.

Not ideal indeed, 2e821aff7cf5dab7cd1da0fdb0783f76001ea9c2 brings a more logical behaviour : sending a message with no argument resets the widgets to its initial/default value. Sending an empty string ("") will just display... an empty string !
