Hello
Maybe someone here can help me with this.
I made this abstraction called [mostro] wich is just a simple delay w feedback.
The abstraction allows creation arguments to set up delay name, delay time in ms and two keys, one to open its input, and one to close it (on/off).
I use graph-on-parent to show 2 controls: feedback and volume.
I would like to add one more thing to the graph-on-parent window: a visual sign that tells me if the delay is On or Off.
Options and Problems:
Opt 1) Using a message box, setting up its text to ON or OFF;
Prob 1) Message box does not show on graph-on-parent
Opt 2) Using a bang or a toggle;
Prob 2) It can be clicked by the user and confuse him/her.
Opt 3) Using a cnv changing its color dynamically, i.e. grey when Off, red when On;
Prob 3) The only way to do this seems setting a receive symbol under cnv properties, and sending color change message wireless. But if i do it this way, when i use more than one instance of [mostro], since all the cnv will share the same receive symbol, all of them change color together. Best would be to change cnv properties using attributes when creating [mostro] instances, like i do with delay name, but i don't think this is possible.
I don't know what else can i do, any suggestions?
I attach the file.
Thank you very much for the help.
