cabbageGetValue with string-values?

Cabbage 3
1

I’m working with the optionButton, and seem to be struggling to extract the current string-value of the channel with cabbageGetValue. Is this possible? Found nothing about it in the docs:

Currently the only workaround is to get th index and then looks up the values yourself. For example:

<Cabbage>
[
    { "type": "form", "caption": "Untitled", "size": {"height": 300, "width": 600}, "pluginId": "def1" },
    {
        "type"    : "optionButton",
        "bounds"  : {"left": 45, "top": 47},
        "channels": [ {"id": "optionButton2", "range": {}} ]
    }
]
</Cabbage>
<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>
nchnls  =       2
0dbfs   =       1

instr 1
  items:S = [“Item1”, “Item2”, “Item3”]
  optionButton:k, optionButtonTrig:k  = cabbageGetValue(“optionButton2”)
  printf(“Selected item: %s”, optionButtonTrig, items[optionButton])
endin

</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>
i1 0 z
</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

I am going to add an array version of cabbageGet to get the items array. That will make things a little simpler. I can also add a `currentText` property. I can do that now and trigger a new build.

I just triggered a new build wher we can now do this:

instr 1
    items:S[] = cabbageGet("optionButton2", "items")
    optionButton:k, optionButtonTrig:k  = cabbageGetValue("optionButton2")
    printf("Selected item: %s", optionButtonTrig, items[optionButton])
endin

This update features quite a bit of work done in the dev branch over the last month. Let me know if you have any problems.
