addAndMakeVisible Problem - Newbie

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi all,
I’m total newbie. I want to learn Juce and Visual C++. I’m app and web developer.
That’s my problem.
I’m creating a new plugin with juce.
I’m trrying to add combobox in a fixed layout.
I added this code inside plugineditor.h

//==============================================================================
void MidiSenderAudioProcessorEditor::paint (Graphics& g)
{
    // (Our component is opaque, so we must completely fill the background with a solid colour)
    g.fillAll (getLookAndFeel().findColour (ResizableWindow::backgroundColourId));

    g.setColour (Colours::white);
    g.setFont (15.0f);
    g.drawFittedText ("Hello World!", getLocalBounds(), Justification::centred, 1);

    ComboBox styleMenu;

    // add items to the combo-box
    addAndMakeVisible(styleMenu,2);
    styleMenu.addItem("Plain", 1);
    styleMenu.addItem("Bold", 2);
    styleMenu.addItem("Italic", 3);
}

But combobox never is shown.

Could you helme?

Kind Regards

Hello and welcome, @quasimidi

The JUCE tutorials are a great starting place, so I’d suggest you start with those. Specifically, the issue you’re having with a ComboBox Component not appearing is addressed here:

https://docs.juce.com/master/tutorial_code_basic_plugin.html

Follow the tutorial, and you’ll see you just haven’t gotten to defining the position of the Component in the resized method yet.

Kind Regards. I’m going to follow this tutorials. I Think that the lifecycle is nor defined propertly in tutorials. Thanks in advanced
