Switching Container Tabs Remotely

[Prokat99]

Hi, I hoping I can accomplish this... I was told on here before that I could not remotely switch page tabs on lemur but that I could remotely change tabs in a container. So, I have built a project that has 17-18+ "tabs" in one container. Due to a couple of factors, I cannot have the tabs visible. I am hoping there is a way to remotely switch the tabs via OSC and/or Midi from my computer running Ableton. In Ableton, you can run "dummy" clips that contain info like midi notes, cc, program data, etc.... I am hoping I can setup clips that will switch the container tab to the screen needed to play the correct part (live performance deal).
So far, I run Osculator to receive OSC commands from iPad (Lemur), but I cannot figure out how to send commands back or exactly what commands to send. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I hate to break the news to you, but you COULD also change page tabs......

selectinterface(index)


Of course you can also change container tabs

selecttab(object, index)

Here are a few examples for changing container tabs

Page changing? Really? Well, I wish I had asked you two weeks ago, ah well.... I will check out the examples when I get home from work. Thank you very much.

I also should ask, can you some how hide the new buttons used to switch the tabs? I have no room on my screen as well as I am worried I will accidentally change a tab when I don't want to. In a nutshell, I will not be looking at the screen while I use it (sounds weird, but its what it is), so I want to change the tabs via my computer but not the lemur interface. As far as I can tell, there is no "hide" feature for buttons. Hopefully I am mistaken.

Actually, If I put it "in the back," will the objects over it block the buttons from being triggered?

You can hide ANY object of Lemur by using show(object,state) function.

Being triggered by its midi-OSC mapping? Nope, not blocked at all! You can even put them "off screen" (x or y negative). If you are talking about actually triggering them with touch, yes unless they are behind a text object (or a couple of other objects that offer "touch transparency", like LCDdisplay).

of course if you only plan to use midi - OSC triggering to change tabs (and not use the actual buttons) you could also use On_MIDI scripts!

Excellent! I got everything working great. Thx!
