renoise.Views.Control
Control is the base class for all views which let the user change a value or some "state" from the UI.
Properties
active : ControlActive
Instead of making a control invisible, you can also make it inactive. Deactivated controls will still be shown, and will still show their currently assigned values, but will not allow changes. Most controls will display as "grayed out" to visualize the deactivated state.
midi_mapping : ControlMidiMappingString
When set, the control will be highlighted when Renoise's MIDI mapping dialog is open. When clicked, it selects the specified string as a MIDI mapping target action. This target acton can either be one of the globally available mappings in Renoise, or those that were created by the tool itself. Target strings are not verified. When they point to nothing, the mapped MIDI message will do nothing and no error is fired.
visible : ViewVisibility
Set visible to false to hide a view (make it invisible without removing it). Please note that view.visible will also return false when any of its parents are invisible (when its implicitly invisible).
- Default: true
width : ViewDimension
The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example
vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.
height : ViewDimension
The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example
vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.
tooltip : ViewTooltip
A tooltip text that should be shown for this view on mouse hover.
- Default: "" (no tip will be shown)
views : renoise.Views.View[]
READ-ONLY Empty for all controls, for layout views this contains the layout child views in the order they got added
Functions
add_child(self, child : renoise.Views.View)
Add a new child view to this view.
