how to use intload()
Mar 22 2013 | 11:54 pm
Hey,
I'd like to know how I can use intload to create a toplevel-patcher with arguments.
The problem is that I don't really understand the method signature.
void *intload(C74_CONST char *name, short volume, t_symbol *s, short ac, t_atom *av, short couldedit);
I tried:
short couldedit = 0; t_atom *av[9]; atom_setlong(av[0], 0); atom_setlong(av[1], 0); atom_setlong(av[2], 0); atom_setlong(av[3], 0); atom_setlong(av[4], 0); atom_setlong(av[5], 0); atom_setlong(av[6], 0); atom_setlong(av[7], 0); atom_setlong(av[8], 0); t_object* opened_patch = intload("my_patcher", 1, gensym(""), 9, av, couldedit);
I don't understand what the volume is (or how to get it) and what symbol is expected.
?
- Mar 23 2013 | 1:14 pmHi, thanks Nicolas, that code example was quite helpful!Now I'm able to create the patcher with arguments but somehow if I use intload, fileload or jpatcher_load there's no patcherview created(and no max window opened) for the patcher I specified with the string.But subpatches contained in the opened top-level-patcher appear (when the top-level patcher was saved with open subpatchers) with a window and are having correct arguments.Here's the code:
/*–––––––––––works correctly––––––––––––––––*/ char filename[MAX_FILENAME_CHARS]; strncpy_zero(filename,"new.maxpat", MAX_FILENAME_CHARS); t_uint32 type_searched_for = 'JSON'; t_uint32 type_found; short path_id = 0; int res = locatefile_extended(filename,&path_id, &type_found ,&type_searched_for, 1); if(res == 0 && path_id != 0) {post("filename found");} else if(res != 0) {post("filename not found"); return;} /*––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––*/ short couldedit = 0; t_atom av[9]; atom_setlong(&av[0], 99); //#1 atom_setsym(&av[1], gensym("aaa")); //#2 atom_setlong(&av[2], 0); //#3 atom_setlong(&av[3], 0); atom_setlong(&av[4], 0); atom_setlong(&av[5], 0); atom_setlong(&av[6], 0); atom_setlong(&av[7], 0); atom_setlong(&av[8], 0); t_object* opened_patch = NULL; opened_patch = intload("new.maxpat", path_id, NULL, 9, av, couldedit); // opened_patch = jpatcher_load("new.maxpat", path_id, 9, av); if(opened_patch != NULL) {post("opened_patch found adress is %i", opened_patch);} else if(opened_patch == NULL) {post("opened_patch not found : %i", opened_patch);return;} t_object* open_p_topview = NULL; open_p_topview = jpatcher_get_firstview(opened_patch); if(open_p_topview != NULL) {post("open_p_topview found adress is %i", open_p_topview);} else if(open_p_topview == NULL) {post("open_p_topview not found : %i", open_p_topview);}While everything else is found, the last branch states "open_p_topview not found". jpatcher_get_firstview(opened_patch) returns NULL. (If intload, fileload or jpatcher_load was used) From what is documented in the headers at least fileload should open a window what it doesn't....maybe someone from cycling can give me a hand on this...? - Mar 23 2013 | 2:47 pm...hopefully notBest case would be if someone could explain it with: jpatcher_load_fromdictionary I'd like to do s.th like this:
//...code like above t_dictionary *rd; rd = dictionary_sprintf("@hidden 1"); // to hide the patcher when opened opened_patch = jpatcher_load_fromdictionary("empty_track.maxpat", path_id, rd, 9, av); - Mar 23 2013 | 3:01 pmHi,Without having the slightest experience with patcher window management, I am convinced that anything that has jpatcher in its name is definitely not Max 4-related. As far as I remember, JUCE was introduced in Max 5.Hope that helps, Ádám
