So I have a small feature that I wish was in place. I do a fair a mount of custom graphics that I make in Illustrator. Since I lack some of the open gl and higher level graphics, I often do small tricks with ui layers (such as multiple sliders being used as graphic layers) and have noticed a small control issue.
Obviously "mouse over" graphics don't make too much sense (…..unless you are considering the other wish list post in which I was talking about a way to possibly drag over multiple objects; the mouse over graphic could be cool for that maybe…) but what I wish was enabled is the mouse clicked graphic.
My imediate need is because I have made a gesture recorder where you control an XY pad and record a gesture loop. Then you can do gesture distortion things like wobble, drunk, jagged, etc. The mouse clicked feature would be ideal for this because the UI node would be one graphic when in input mode and then another in loop mode without having to use two objects.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to enable the mouse click graphic layer?
well, if you find a way to switch the knob to it's clicked image with a max message (without clicking on it..) I would be happy to add it to mmf.
I'm afraid that the only solution would be to dynamically load another image when a cursor control the slider (using for ex a "receive object_name/cursor/poly " in an abstraction connected to the object).
