More than one slider in tab

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

Hi,
I’m trying to build a RGB controler to drive a RGB Led strip.

I would have 3 sliders, one by color … but it doesn’t work at all :-X

I’v got two issues :

  • First it never print more than one slider (the last one, the blue one here) on tab.
  • Second, despite I put MaxValue to 255, the max value stayed 100.

Any idea why ? ???

Great thank for your help :slight_smile:

Antor, when I last went and looked at the supporting JavaScript code for slider controls, I found a lot of hardcoded assumptions. It’s possible that “range 0-100” and “only one per device” are two of those hardcoded assumptions. You’d really have to go digging in the JavaScript to confirm that.

#3

I noticed a similar problem few days ago when I tried to include a second slider in a flash tab.
Probably another MCV bug.

#4

Please note that this plugin is using two vertical sliders : Radio Thermostat Wi-Fi Plugin
Does it mean that the problem is only with horizontal sliders ?
Or does it mean that this plugin is no more working with the last firmware version ?

I agree, use a javascript Tab you can do almost what you wan’t, and no “magic stuff” comming from mcv to understand :wink:

Hi lolodomo, I tried with vertical sliders :

  • Yes, you can put more than One :). Funny thing to note, first is red and other are blue … one more hard codded thing
  • I have same issues with MaxValue to 255 … blocked at 100.
