Hey, it's me again, I'm now looking for a number object which only got a few state, for example 3 states that you can change just by clicking on it ? Could be really efficient instead of several messages boxes...

number-object-with-few-states

If you only have a few options then try [umenu], you can't scroll through them with the mouse in the same way as you can with [number] though!

Don't forget that you can set arbitrary min/max for the number object, so you can limit it to however many (or few) states you want.

There are probably more ways to do this than Paul Simon knew of leaving his lover.

You could have a number object that's read-only and a [ubutton] on top of it, so when you click the [ubutton] it advances the number through your predetermined list of values (all hidden).

Also look to [tab] if you don't mind a little more space, you can shape it all sorts of ways...

Store the values in a [coll] and recall them with whatever fits your interface needs ?

Thanks for all this propositions, great. Though, I think I didn't explained myself very well. I needed to change numbers by clicking or with an "insensitive" scrolling cause it would route different sequences for a live configuration. The change had to be precise and it wouldn't work if their is a 10 number increment by a simple scroll...

Finally, an [incdec] to step by step changing combined with [tab] to jump between wanted routes, worked well for me !

Any ameliorations in mind ?
Nice help anyway, cheers !


@Roman, didn't find the 'click thru it' mode for umenu, even in attributes...

@Guygz : It all depends on your interface needs and taste...

This is by far the better option :) You can scroll the values using a controller, arrows or clicking.
