Gui confusion (sliders linking)

1

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. This project is coming from the Template project. No matter what I do, the last slider I make is the only one that moves. Even when I move the first two sliders, the last one moves. I don’t see how they are linked. I am sure it is something stupid. Thanks for any help.

hi sam!

what are the values of kParamGain, kParamDurMult and kParamTemp ?

Hi Oli,

I am using these enums in the .h file:

enum EParams
{
kParamGain, kParamDurMult, kParamTemp,
kNumParams
};

enum ECtrlTags
{
kCtrlTagSlider,
kCtrlTagSlider2,
kCtrlTagSlider3,
kCtrlTagVersionNumber,
kCtrlTagTitle
};

I am not sure what is going on, but here is a git patch you can apply to IPlugOOS/master to show that it works:

That did it. Thanks!
