Stop knob value from changing while using touch or mouse

[Fbiss]

Hi all,

I am using Knob for a climate control app. Every 10 seconds my script sends an ajax request to get the setPoint (variable of what the requested room temp should be to reach satisfied) from XML, and then this updates the knob value. I am also using Knob release event to call a function that sets the setPoint.

My issue is that sometimes it wil update the value of the knob in the middle of touching or mousing to change the setPoint.

Is there any way to stop the value change if in the middle of touching or mousing the wheel? Below is how i am retrieving and setting the knob value.

function getCurrentSetPoint() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "ControlHandler.ashx",
        dataType: "xml",
        cache: false,
        success: function (xml) {
            //Get Current Set Point
            $(xml).find('object[id="abcdefg"]').each(function () {
                var sTitle = $(this).find('objName').text();
                var sPublisher = Math.round($(this).find('objPresentValue').text());
                $('.setTemp').val(sPublisher).trigger("change");
            });
        },
        error: function () {
            alert("An error occurred while processing XML file.");
        }
    });
}

Thanks for any assistance

I think what you are looking for is the "'data-readOnly': true" attribute.

@maeishoj no, I think what @Fbiss means is the same issue I have.

I use a knob to display the current position of an audio track I am playing (which updates on a timely manner) and use the same knob to seek to a different position in the same track.
The problem is that if you try to use the knob in this way, even with the displayPrevious option enabled the change event causes the knob to fall back and render with the actual value disregarding the current non-committed value.
