Detecting when user clicked Reset Parameter

I am setting the PF_ParamFlag_SUPERVISE flag for my slider like this:

PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX("MySlider", 0, 256, 0, 256, 123, PF_Precision_INTEGER, PF_ValueDisplayFlag_NONE, PF_ParamFlag_SUPERVISE, MY_SLIDER_DISK_ID);

I am receiving the PF_Cmd_USER_CHANGED_PARAM command when I change the slider value (Case 1). I also receive the command when I hit the "Reset Parameter" button on the right (Case 2) in the Effect Controls panel.

Is there any way I can distinguish Case 2 from Case 1? I need to perform extra steps for Case 2 but PF_UserChangedParamExtra only contains param_index.

Many thanks

Hi tashi.maya,

Unfortunately, there's no specific API that distinguishes a reset from a parameter change.

Looks like I figured it out.

It seems for PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX I need to add the flags in the actual parameter statement. Not sure why it differs from the others.

I had it like this:

AEFX_CLR_STRUCT(def);
def.flags = PF_ParamFlag_SUPERVISE |
PF_ParamFlag_CANNOT_TIME_VARY |
PF_ParamFlag_CANNOT_INTERP;

PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX("Slider", 0.0, 100.0, 0.0, 100.0, 25.0, PF_Precision_TENTHS, 0, LAYER_ID);

But it needs to be like this:

AEFX_CLR_STRUCT(def);

PF_ADD_FLOAT_SLIDERX("Slider", 0.0, 100.0, 0.0, 100.0, 33.3333, PF_Precision_TENTHS, PF_ValueDisplayFlag_PERCENT, PF_ParamFlag_SUPERVISE | PF_ParamFlag_CANNOT_TIME_VARY |
PF_ParamFlag_CANNOT_INTERP, LAYER_ID);

If someone can confirm this, I can mark this as the correct answer for someone else in the future.

Sorry, wrong thread!

It seems the reset button gets an ID which I would call the "clickable parameter count".

Let's say you have 2 sliders and 1 button, the reset button will get the ID of 4 (3 parameters +1)

BUT if one of your parameters can't be clicked, like an arbitrary data parameter, the reset button ID will not take this parameter in count, so 1 arbdata + 1 slider + 1 button would give the reset button a value of 3 (2 clickable parameters +1)

This is not roughly tested and theoretical, but that's one solution I found is to catch the reset button press.

Hope that helps

Here's how I did it in my qpGradeAssistant plugin, where I needed to check whether the plugin had first been applied, or reset had been hit:

- In ParamsSetup I add a hidden checkbox parameter, with supervise on, defaulting to TRUE

- I have a PF_Boolean params_at_defaultB in my sequence data, which is set to FALSE in SequenceSetup

- I check for the (seq data) params_at_defaultB in UpdateParameterUI - if it's FALSE then I

- set the reset parameter to FALSE

AEGP_StreamValue2 reset_val = {};

reset_val.val.one_d = static_cast<PF_FpLong>(FALSE);

ERR(suites.StreamSuite3()->AEGP_SetStreamValue(NULL, resetH, &reset_val));

params[PARAM_RESET]->uu.change_flags = PF_ChangeFlag_CHANGED_VALUE;

- do what I need to do with my parameters

- set the (seq data) params_at_defaultB to TRUE.

- In UserChangedParam:

// Special case to begin with - reset has been hit, so we need to force a few things...

if(extra->param_index == PARAM_RESET) {

if(!params[PARAM_RESET]->u.bd.value) {

// Value is false, so don't bother (shouldn't ever trigger as the user can't access this, but for completeness...)

return err;

}

// Force Sequence Data to be rebuilt, and the UI to be reset

ERR(SequenceSetup(in_data, out_data, FALSE));

ERR(UpdateParameterUI(in_data, out_data, params));

return err;

}
