String representation of a Record

Hello. When I output a spread of records in a patch, I only see Record name being repeated, which is not useful for me. I rather want to display few attributes of the record instead. Is there an operation/interface like .toString()?

I couldn’t find an example in the Help Browser.

That didn’t help. I’m still seeing the same thing.

I think I rather want to know how I can implement a toString()-like operation.

I don’t know on which version you are, but I think tooltips for records have been reworked recently… so maybe check out if it works better for you in a recent 6.7 preview version?

I’m not able to download 6.7 preview, it fails saying there’s an issue with internet connection. (I suppose it requires a license/certificate which I don’t have?)

Anyway, I’ll wait for v6.7 release. Thanks!

@ajitid its described in this part of the logging video.
ToString() is already a kind of Inteface/Baseclass within vvvv and you can implement it by making a ToString operation in your Record or Class with a Result output pin.

@Hadasi this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I knew that doing this is possible but I couldn’t recall where I saw it.
