Can you make a button light up at a certain value from a slider?

Question

Say I have a Slider called 'DRIVE' and it features values 0-101. 0-100 is the drive and 101 is 'OVERDRIVE'  Imagine that the Drive slider has a button called Overdrive at the top of it and when the slider hits 101, I want the Supedrive to light up.

 As it is, it seems to only light the subcontrol at 50%.  I cannot seem to control this aspect.

All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection... Except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

If you use an interceding button (superknob -> subbutton [changed min and max] -> subbutton, or do them backwards with button -> button -> knob) you will get the result you want. Right now this is awkward because there's no way to hide supercontrols. That's coming soon.

Easy Example (Go Backwards):

1. Toggle Button is supercontrol of knob
2. Adjust MIDI min of the button to achieve desired results. Basically, the higher the min, the later it turns on. 

Complex Example (The Other Way)

1. Knob is Super of Toggle Button 1
2. Toggle Button 1 is super of Toggle Button 2
3. Adjust the MIDI min of Toggle Button 1, which affects when Toggle Button 2 will turn on and off. 
4. Stash Toggle 1 someplace else, or make it really small.

If you could provide a more detailed explanation or instruction, I am sure that people (read me!) could then fully understand your cunning plan :)

Thanks, just updated the answer with some examples. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

Note: you probably want Example 1. Supercontrols do not send by default.
