selecting controls to bind with MIDI controller no longer works

[samaaron]

I'm no longer able to click a control, see it highlight red and then bind it with a MIDI controller control :-(

The binding mechanics have changed slightly. A right-click can be used for selecting and binding and left-clicks can be used for manipulating the controls by dragging and clicking. Separating these functionalities became necessary in the case of clicking button elements. When the user clicked on a button, it was not possible to determine if they intended to manipulate it or select it.

I've updated the documentation just now too. :) https://github.com/overtone/mini-beast/wiki/Using-MiniBeast/_compare/ae7f95361a5dcf74f7fa77200bd470ce54022511...53bde8c65a37e48b3e0e396064392fae80cef991

I tried right clicking, but it didn't work on my mac...

The plot thickens. :D I'll take another look at the code.

I've improved the debug output for mouse clicks. Perhaps you can attach a snippet of the log.

I modified mouse-clicked to the following to stop the exceptions:

(defn mouse-clicked []
  ;; toggle selected-control on mouse click
  (case (mouse-button)
    :left (if-let [matched-control (control-at-xy (mouse-x) (mouse-y))]
            (do
              (println "found control " matched-control)
              (update-control matched-control 0))
            (println "left click at [" (mouse-x) ", " (mouse-y) "]"))
    :right (if (nil? @selected-control)
             (let [x (mouse-x)
                   y (mouse-y)
                   c (control-at-xy x y)]
               (println "right click at [" x ", " y "]")
               (println "found control " c)
               (reset! selected-control c))
             (reset! selected-control nil))
    nil))

It never prints out "left click at". I'm using a Mac which doesn't have a left click button on the mouse, but typically on OS X left click is obtained by ctl-clicking things. Perhaps this is the issue?

Thanks for the fix :-)
