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.

min : `SliderMinValue`

The minimum value that can be set using the view

Default: 0

max : `SliderMaxValue`

The maximum value that can be set using the view

Default: 1.0

align : `TextAlignment`

Setup the text's alignment. Applies only when the view's size is larger than the needed size to draw the text

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

origin : `ViewOrigin`

The position of a view within its parent view. Only the stack layouts allows to freely position child views. Other layout views will automatically set the origin, but the origin then still can be read in for example mouse handlers.

width : `ViewDimension`

Deprecated. Use property size instead.

height : `ViewDimension`

Deprecated. Use property size instead.

size : `ViewSize`

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size, for example vb:text { size = { width = "80%", height = 20}}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update when the parent view's size changes.

A ViewTooltip text that should be shown for this view on mouse hover.

Default: "" (no tip will be shown)

cursor : `ViewCursorShape`

The cursor cursor for this view which apears on mouse hover. Using a "none" shape will use use underlying view's cursor or the default cursor.

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_notifier(self, notifier : `NumberValueNotifierFunction`)

add_view(self, child : `renoise.Views.View`)

remove_view(self, child : `renoise.Views.View`)

swap_views(self, child1 : `renoise.Views.View`, child2 : `renoise.Views.View`)

Swap position of two child views in this view. With a series of swaps views can be moved to any position in the parent.

add_child(self, child : `renoise.Views.View`)

Deprecated. Use add_view instead

remove_child(self, child : `renoise.Views.View`)

Deprecated. Use remove_view instead

swap_childs(self, child1 : `renoise.Views.View`, child2 : `renoise.Views.View`)

Deprecated. Use swap_views instead
