Deselecting a selected device or device go

  • I am using DMXControl 3.2. I have created a toggle button in Softdesk to select a specific device using Input Assignments. This works as expected. My question is how do I de-select devices when I un-toggle the button in Softdesk?

    My goal is to create a simple interface for children to use at our children's theater. I have created a Softdesk full of buttons which are assigned to specific cues. Using Softdesk in fullscreen mode makes it very easy for our children to use. I want to add the ability to select a specific device or group of devices or de-select them on un-toggle. This will allow the children to create their own colorful scenes using Softdesk. I believe Softdesk can help me achieve this.

  • Thank you for your reply. However, I do not understand how the "input selector" works. In fact, i do not understand how to use most of the logical operators. The videos are in German and the English translation in threads and tutorials are very difficult to understand.

    An example of what I am trying to do. I want to select one or more devices using a toggle button for each device in Softdesk. This should work similar to "Stage View". Once selected I would like to use a slider to adjust the intensity and a colorwheel to change colors of only those devices selected. When the button is un-toggled, it should also de-select that device. Again this is exactly how the Stage View currently works. The only difference is that I want to create a Softdesk interface that would include a slider for intensity and a colorwheel to change colors of those devices. I hope this makes sense. I can upload a simple Softdesk sample if needed.

    Thanks in advance,

  • I have build something, which may fit your needs. Just place your devices in the given groups and remove mine. If you want to expand it, you need to bring in another button in the softdesk (set PassThrough and IsToggle to "true"), clone a connectionset, replace the softdesk button in the bank and change your group node to the new group.

    Merry Christmas

  • Thank you Johannes. This appears to do what I need and I will play with it more later. I was trying to use the "SELECT" attribute of the device. This selects the device just like the mouse selects the device in Stage View. It's easy to SELECT it, but I could not figure out how to UNSELECT it. Your method does not show the device as being selected in Stage View which is okay.

    Thanks again,
