Concentric knob fun...

Hi,

After a request in another thread I thought I'd see if I could make a dual concentric knob. It wasn't too hard but for one thing (bug!?) : In order to work the 'MArea' had to be connected to the 'Multiplex' first then to the 'LDo' second. If they were the other way around the 'LDo' didn't seem to work (receive messages?!).

Anyway, it's crappy looking (hihi) and it's hard coded to work at the current size (though could be made to be resizable and also to work with different gfx etc...)

Get it here :- ConcentricKnob.osm

It was my request (perhaps amung others?). I works really well & very smart of you figuring out that trick.

Don't worry about the graphics; sometimes minimal is better. 🙂 cheers

Great stuff Shif, very neat schematic layout too.

You're right about the bug. There's a flag in the mouse event processing that when set prevents the event from being sent to any other components. The Drag Accumulate components all set this flag to true so if you have the accumulate on the last link in the order and it processes the event then the other components will have no effect (mouse events are sent in reverse link order).

Anyway, I'll get this fixed.

I thought you'd know why it was doing that! I almost gave up on it as I had it the other way first and for the life of me couldn't see why it wouldn't work! Then I just thought sod it I'll try the other way around, and bingo 🙂
