Horizontal menus

[alloedee]

Hey Lemurians.

I was wondering if it is possible to make menus that are horizontal instead of vertical?

My problem is that if I have a menu in a container close to the buttom of the container, the menu options can't go outside of the container.

Yeah
I guess it could be done with a bit of scripting
The other option is to script it to move upwards and back
Will have a look into it at some point

Hi Allodee,

You can try something with pads instead with a bit of scripting, I attached a small example.

Hope that helps,

Here is a horizontal menu....To map it to your controlled software map the variable Container.items.selection

Thank you for your help, that did the trick

Hi All

Here is a slightly revised version of AB's - that responds more like a normal object . . .
You can get its vale by using HorizMenu_.selection and it responds to HorizMenu_.selection=index to set its value
Of course you can rename the Container as you require . .
A little bit more work and it could be a nice virtual Object perhaps

I am thinking of adding a 'Modules' sub-Forum so we can get the Module Library better organised and supported - and we can link some of this to a new thread there.
I have a few other modules ready to at least release as beta's - and I think it would be good to have an area for more focused discussion on modules . ..

Yeah I believe more modules would be a great addition - for usage and educational purposes alike....

@Macciza, cool, I had not any bidirectional work on that example, I have updated it (attached) using pads instead of switches, it makes code more simpler imho.

Hi Folks,

I have tweaked it a little bit while having the coffe, now you can change dynamicaly the number of entries by using the entries variable (1-16 you can change this if you need using rows too) You also can use the column box, it will work too.

Also changing the off color of "selected" pad will change the color of items pads too.

About of lemur modules, there is a thread on projects forum, quite quiet though, maybe some uploads could be compiled there?
