I would have imagined that MidiKeyboardComponent would have had more in the way of virtual functions? At the moment you can only customise the action for clicking on notes, but there appears to be no way of making your own response to the selection when dragging across the keys (short of processing the generated MIDI…)
Are there any plans to expand this?
Sure - if you think of any ways it could be tweaked to do what you need, just let me know.
ooh, here’s something it needs actually; i think it should not require a subclass to set the base octave for middle-c relating to the ‘c’ text; there should be a function that lets you set a value for this, taking exactly the same value as given to the MidiMessage::getMidiNoteName () function, allowing a global setting to be used in both places.
Good idea. I’ll pop that in there.
from overriding the getWhiteNoteText or whatever it’s called to achieve this myself, i found that i couldn’t do it in quite the same way as you had in the base; there’s no getKeyWidth() function 
And the main thing i’d like in there really is some kind of callback that’s called whenever a note is ‘selected’ by a drag event. At the moment I can only respond to the clicked notes, but dragging doesn’t call anything i can override.
Ok, Would this do the trick for you:

A component that displays a piano keyboard, whose notes can be clicked on.
This component will mimic a physical midi keyboard, showing the current state of
a MidiKeyboardState object. When the on-screen keys are clicked on, it will play these
notes by calling the noteOn() and noteOff() methods of its MidiKeyboardState object.
Another feature is that the computer keyboard can also be used to play notes. By
default it maps the top two rows of a standard querty keyboard to the notes, but
these can be remapped if needed. It will only respond to keypresses when it has
the keyboard focus, so to disable this feature you can call setWantsKeyboardFocus (false).

top-of-cool in the world 
thanks a lot for the update-ette
oh, one more pretty handy one- it’d be ultra-uber-top if there were a way of latching notes, so clicking on one would have it stay down. There could be either just one or multiple notes that could stay down. In my MidiNoteMap plugin, i’m not using the keyboard to PLAY notes, i’m using it to SELECT them, and currently once you let go they disappear.
ok - good idea, but remind me again about it: haven’t got time at the moment, and it’ll require a bit of hackery. Probably more a job for the MidiKeyboardState object than the UI component…
Hi.
Did you manage to create the “latching” key option for MidiKeyboardComponent?
Thanks
Phil
Don’t think I ever did that in the 4 years since the original post!
Yes sorry I did realise that it was a rather large bump after I posted it!
I have been working on MIOS Studio http://www.ucapps.de/mios_studio.html which has recently been rewritten from a Java based solution to use JUCE (among other things to get around the terrible java sysex support in newer macs) and one thing the old version had was this latching midi keyboard which can be very useful at times…
Do you think it would be much work to implement? I am happy to give it a go if you could give me some pointers!
Cheers
Phil
You’re welcome to have a go - it’d all be done in the MidiKeyboardComponent class, I guess. Would be interested to see what you come up with though!
I have found that by simply changing the following code in MidiKeyboardComponent::updateNoteUnderMouse I get “most” of the effect that I am looking for.
if (!ModifierKeys::getCurrentModifiers().isRightButtonDown())
{
state.noteOff (midiChannel, mouseDownNote);
mouseDownNote = -1;
}This allows you to right-drag the mouse over the keyboard and it latches until the keys are left-clicked or left-dragged over. I know all I am doing is suppressing the noteOff if the right button is down but it kind of works
What this doesn’t do though is work with single right click’s of a note because of course the isRightButtonDown() isn’t true when the right button is clicked and released on the same key so the noteOff happens…
I am thinking that I will need to store the previous state of isRightButtonDown() and check for that in the keyStateChanged() function? What do you think?
Phil
A better way to do that would be to pass the MouseEvent object to the updateNoteUnderMouse() method, because the mouse event will contain a right-button flag when it’s a right mouse-up.
I did think about that but I noticed that not all functions that call updateNoteUnderMouse() have a MouseEvent object to pass.
void MidiKeyboardComponent::timerCallback()
{
updateNoteUnderMouse (getMouseXYRelative());
}As there is no specific “event” that is triggered, what exactly does this do???
Cheers
Phil
I think that’s there to stop notes getting stuck if the mouse-events stop. That’s not likely to happen in a normal app, but in a plugin, the host can do strange things with mouse-events.
