Reset custom effect UIs?

[_nhendo_]

Hi,

I've built an effect plugin which has 2 custom UIs in it. I want to reset these UIs to their default states when the user clicks the plugin's "Reset" hyperlink, but I can't figure out how to do so. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Neil

Reset triggers PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_RESETUP, so update any stuff on which your custom UI depends while responding. What param streams are behind your custom UIs?

PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_RESETUP doesn't get called when I click Reset.

I've got PF_OutFlag_SEQUENCE_DATA_NEEDS_FLATTENING set in order to flatten/unflatten the sequence data. The Resetup command does get called for the Open/Save/Duplicate events.

The only command that gets called when I click Reset is PF_Cmd_USER_CHANGED_PARAM, because I specified PF_ParamFlag_SUPERVISE on 2 other params (not the 2 custom UI ones).

The custom UIs are created with PF_ADD_NULL, which I believe has no data stream. I tried changing them to PF_ADD_COLOR but PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_RESETUP still didn't get called when I clicked Reset.

The reason I'm using PF_ADD_NULL is because I don't want the custom UI param to appear in the Timeline panel.

Thanks,
Neil

Ahhhh.

Saving the state information in the sequence data (along with a flag that tells you whether or not they're initialized) should do the trick. I don't think you can supervise null params, right?
