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 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: ```auto diff --git a/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.cpp b/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.cpp index 6541ca0..8ae410b 100644 --- a/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.cpp +++ b/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.cpp @@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ TemplateProject::TemplateProject(const InstanceInfo& info) : Plugin(info, MakeConfig(kNumParams, kNumPresets)) { GetParam(kParamGain)->InitDouble("Gain", 0., 0., 100.0, 0.01, "%"); + GetParam(kParamFreq)->InitDouble("Freq", 0., 0., 100.0, 0.01, "%"); + GetParam(kParamVol)->InitDouble("Vol", 0., 0., 100.0, 0.01, "%"); #if IPLUG_EDITOR // http://bit.ly/2S64BDd mMakeGraphicsFunc = [&]() { @@ -16,15 +18,19 @@ TemplateProject::TemplateProject(const InstanceInfo& info) }; mLayoutFunc = [&](IGraphics* pGraphics) { - const IRECT bounds = pGraphics->GetBounds(); - const IRECT innerBounds = bounds.GetPadded(-10.f); - const IRECT sliderBounds = innerBounds.GetFromLeft(150).GetMidVPadded(100); - const IRECT versionBounds = innerBounds.GetFromTRHC(300, 20); - const IRECT titleBounds = innerBounds.GetCentredInside(200, 50); +layout: if (pGraphics->NControls()) { + const IRECT bounds = pGraphics->GetBounds(); + const IRECT innerBounds = bounds.GetPadded(-10.f); + const IRECT sliderBounds = innerBounds.GetFromLeft(150).GetMidVPadded(100); + const IRECT versionBounds = innerBounds.GetFromTRHC(300, 20); + const IRECT titleBounds = innerBounds.GetCentredInside(200, 50); + pGraphics->GetBackgroundControl()->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(bounds); - pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagSlider)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(sliderBounds); + pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagSlider1)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(sliderBounds); + pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagSlider2)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(sliderBounds.GetHShifted(sliderBounds.W())); + pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagSlider3)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(sliderBounds.GetHShifted(sliderBounds.W() * 2)); pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagTitle)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(titleBounds); pGraphics->GetControlWithTag(kCtrlTagVersionNumber)->SetTargetAndDrawRECTs(versionBounds); return; @@ -34,11 +40,15 @@ TemplateProject::TemplateProject(const InstanceInfo& info) pGraphics->AttachCornerResizer(EUIResizerMode::Size, true); pGraphics->LoadFont("Roboto-Regular", ROBOTO_FN); pGraphics->AttachPanelBackground(COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY); - pGraphics->AttachControl(new IVSliderControl(sliderBounds, kParamGain), kCtrlTagSlider); - pGraphics->AttachControl(new ITextControl(titleBounds, "TemplateProject", IText(30)), kCtrlTagTitle); + pGraphics->AttachControl(new IVSliderControl(IRECT(), kParamGain), kCtrlTagSlider1); + pGraphics->AttachControl(new IVSliderControl(IRECT(), kParamFreq), kCtrlTagSlider2); + pGraphics->AttachControl(new IVSliderControl(IRECT(), kParamVol), kCtrlTagSlider3); + pGraphics->AttachControl(new ITextControl(IRECT(), "TemplateProject", IText(30)), kCtrlTagTitle); WDL_String buildInfoStr; GetBuildInfoStr(buildInfoStr, __DATE__ , __TIME__ ); - pGraphics->AttachControl(new ITextControl(versionBounds, buildInfoStr.Get(), DEFAULT_TEXT.WithAlign(EAlign::Far)), kCtrlTagVersionNumber); + pGraphics->AttachControl(new ITextControl(IRECT(), buildInfoStr.Get(), DEFAULT_TEXT.WithAlign(EAlign::Far)), kCtrlTagVersionNumber); + + goto layout; }; #endif } diff --git a/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.h b/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.h index 74cf709..2eceadc 100644 --- a/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.h +++ b/TemplateProject/TemplateProject.h @@ -7,13 +7,17 @@ const int kNumPresets = 1; enum EParams { kParamGain = 0, + kParamFreq, + kParamVol, kNumParams }; enum ECtrlTags { kCtrlTagVersionNumber = 0, - kCtrlTagSlider, + kCtrlTagSlider1, + kCtrlTagSlider2, + kCtrlTagSlider3, kCtrlTagTitle }; ``` ---
