RotaryButtonGadget ???

[Hroudtwolf]

Good morning (9: 30 AM in germany),

I'm searching an way to make a RotaryButtonGadget, 3 month ago.
But I had no (just a little but) luck.

Do anyone knows how to make a simple RotaryButtonGadget ?

What is a RotaryButtonGadget ?

[Hroudtwolf]

Like this...

or this ....

[Hatonastick]

Couldn't you use a graphic, and just detect when the graphic is clicked on, and then alter the graphics appearance in accordance to distance travelled along the x plane by the mouse while the mouse button is held down? This would also determine the value returned by the procedure that handled all of this. Couldn't use 1 to 1 ratio (pixels moved) of course otherwise it would be too sensitive.

It's called a dial gadget isn't it?

[Rings]

these types of gadgets known as
Knob
Hroudwolfs translation is IMHO much better
(More google like) than mine .

[Hroudtwolf]

To make this with diverse graphics, was my idea ,too.
But there must be a way to do this by using the 2D_Drawing LIB.

My problem is... How to update this gadget ?

I dont know how to calculate the circlular moving of the positionpointer.

Here's an interesting article:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Cu ... ontrol.asp

And another:
http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/knobslider.asp

Also try going to:
http://www.programmersheaven.com
And searching for "knob". I don't know much about windows programming etc. so I don't know if ActiveX controls can be embedded in windows stuff - actually I'm assuming of course that you are using Windows... You might be using Linux or something else altogether. Sorry if I've assumed the wrong OS - hopefully there is something there that will help.

[Hroudtwolf]

Thank you very much. Its very interesting.


It's fascinating...

In the most german dialects is "knob" the word for "button".

[Hatonastick]

I wouldn't know my German is a bit rusty - haven't used it in 15 years or so. My brother-in-law probably understands more as he is actually German although he's lived here pretty much all his life.

Anyway hopefully you find something useful in amongst that lot - when can we expect to see a PB native "knob" gadget?

Nice, einander.

You provide a lot of nifty goodies. Everything from "elastic bands" through to midi snippets. Appreciated.
