patcher/presentation toggle
hello, can anyone put me in the right direction to create a button or toggle switch, to go from patching mode to presentation mode, or is this not possible. hope someone can help, cheers.
this is what you want:
put those objects anywhere in your patch
And you'll need to either add the toggle to your presentation or control it from some other object, 'cause otherwise once you click it... :)
I use this idea in most of my patches... very handy. But is there a way to make the toggle object respond to a click (in edit mode) without having to hold down the command key? It would sure be nice to avoid that extra movement... I use these toggles a LOT.
Or is there another object/trick that would work in edit mode and achieve the same purpose?
It's not impossible, but a bit messy. Since there is no ui object (as far as I know) that responds to clicks in edit mode, the only option I could think of is a hover object, in conjunction with mousestate. As this functionality breaks in a locked patcher, a second toggle is required.
many thanks, yeh...that's great, much appreciated.
Ha! Pretty sweet, thanks! I had to fiddle with it to make it work... but yeah, I can get it to lock the patch, but can't get it to unlock the patch. I'm going to mess with it some more, though.
Thanks again!
