CCButton Enable/disable but still read button state?

[fitzgreyve]

I'm using the enable/dsiable feature on CCButton to control when MIDI output is produced:

CCButton AuxDigitalIn {
  3,                                              
  {MIDI_CC::Damper_Pedal, CHANNEL_1},  
}; 

AuxDigitalIn.enable();

AuxDigitalIn.disable();

(not posting the full code as it's big)

This works fine.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to still manually detect button transitions while the MIDI output is disabled:

if (AuxDigitalIn.getButtonState() == Button::Falling)  { 

I realise that the "disable" function removes the CCButton from the list of instances.

Any ideas on how to detect buttin changes with MIDI output disabled ? Define another button in parallel on the same pin, or is there something better?

Many thanks for the library and excellent support!

The Button object inside of the CCButton class is not publicly accessible, so it's probably easiest to use something based on the Custom-MIDI-Output-Element example, where you can allow access to the button member variable.

Many thanks, I'm already using a custom CCbutton (sending controller across multiple MIDI channels when "enabled"), so something like:

public:
 //Allow the button state to be read directly 
 AH::Button::State getButtonState() const { return button.getButtonState(); }

but I think it needs to be button.update() not button.getButtonState() if it is to work when the function is "disabled" ?
Not exactly sure of the syntax required here.

think I've got it sorted, typo in the above

AH::Button::State getButtonState() const { return button.getButtonState(); }

should be:

AH::Button::State getButtonState() const { return button.getState(); }

so "update" is:

 AH::Button::State getButtonState() const { return button.update(); }

compiles OK, yet to test it.

Working nicely, thanks for the pointer.
