Plug'n Script/KUIML Query: Using custom sprites for native menus

[JPat]

Hi all,

Please be gentle with me, for I am a newbie!

I have developed a .cxx MIDI FX script to select LFO waveforms, and I'm trying to build a custom GUI for it in KUIML. I had a 13-state 'standard' menu in the native gui which works perfectly, outputting:

Index | Menu Value (custom_param8) | lfo_wave_selected_index | Active Button ID | Active Button Param | SVG Asset | lfo_btn_0..12 Pattern (1=active) 0 | 0 | 0 |

but I'm trying to replace it with a 13-pane sprite-based selector that outputs:

Button # | UI Element ID | Param (0/1) | Selected Index Value when 1 0 |

I want all 13 panes to be visible to the user so that they can click on one of them and select that option; it will then be highlighted graphically.

I have tried many different things to get what in my head should be a simple mapping, but I cannot make it work. Would anyone be kind enough to offer me a pragmatic strategy to make this work please?

Hey, if you can add some picture to understand it better it would help!

Can you maybe also share your existing code so that we can have a better understanding on how it can be modified?

Hi both,

Many thanks for your prompt responses. Great to have attracted the attention of the 'big guns'!
Here is an AI-generated HTML which I hope will give you a better perspective, but let me know if there are other things that you need.

Oops. I've just realized that my link did not work properly – stoopit. No matter, I have cracked this. The 13 sprite buttons were proving too hard to control in concert, and so I have replaced the buttons with a single INVISIBLE_PARAM_SLIDER overlay with some clamping math and now it works. Thanks!

Glad that it finally worked for you!
