Index in/out on combo/list boxes

[bsork]

Now that you can enter values directly in the texts on the list and combo boxes, I think that an index parameter could be useful. Nothing that can't be done with eg a Mapper Value, but easier when creating a list of non-contiguous numbers of for instance MIDI program changes.

Maybe I don't understand the question but the actual listbox/combobox accepts '=' character' do set particular values:
like

Code: Select all

hello=1
bye=12
yes=34
no=99

of course only integers are allowed.

i guess bsork meant a way to have booth real index and mapped values?

[bsork]

23fx23 is right. In the above example hello woulds have index 0, bye index 1, etc.

ok I understand, sorry.
so it means to create another outlet
one contains the real index (0,1,2,..) and the other assigned values (1,12,34,99)?
It a good suggestion but I need time to think about it.
