Hello there,
I am trying to find a way to change a comment box via messages. The point is to avoid symbol boxes to make it look better in the GUI.
Does somebody know a way to achieve that?
Cheers, Josh

Change comment box via message

@Jinkgo I don't think it is possible, but maybe you can use the canvas object instead?
-
Hey @Ingox, thanks for the answer. The thing is that I am using the patch in a vst plugin with a jpeg as a background. It would look nicer if you have the letters directly on the background instead of in a white box on the background. and the text has to be changeable. I dont know how you would use the canvas object to avoid that?
-
@Jinkgo Another possibility would be using data structures, but the options to display text are somewhat limited there...
-
if you could use a canvas, the size of the canvas can be small enough to hide behind the label text
-
Yes that would be a solution for the background. But then I still have the problem that the text has to be changeable. You can load audio files in my patch and the names of the patch should appear as a text. I need a way to change the text in the comment box without touching it.

@whale-av All these years I've been changing spaces to a non-breaking space alt+0160 and I could have been using [l2s]
Thank you -
i use [l2s] and [s2l] a lot recently. @whale-av i did not know that there is a vanilla version of [l2s]. thanks for that.
is there perhaps a vanilla [s2l] too (i am fine with using the external, but still)? -
@Jona All work by @cuinjune I think......
You need [s2f] for [s2l] to work, but you could embed it as a sub-patch.
[l2s] [s2l] [s2f]

Let me know if something else is missing.

@Jinkgo I just noticed while working on another project in vanilla, that the arguments have changed for the colour of the label.
So for vanilla it seems the second argument is unused, and the 3rd argument is the label colour......
