site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com Hi Quincey, Regards, Kristian Harms Den 21. okt.. 2008 kl. 06.55 skrev Quincey Morris: I've tried to add a custom UI parameter to a generator plug-in. The associated custom view simply contains a button. In FCP, the view shows up in the Controls tab of the Viewer. In Motion, the view shows up in the Inspector, but in the HUD for the plug-in the parameter shows as a (malfunctioning) slider instead. If I replace my custom UI parameter setup with the code from the Options Dialog FxPlug example, I get the same results, with the slider in the HUD. The Options Dialog example itself works, but it's a filter, not a generator. I tried writing a filter with the custom UI parameter setup from my generator, and it works correctly in the HUD display. I can't think of any other differences, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in generators only. Does anyone know anything about this, or can anyone suggest some further testing to find out why the view is not displaying in the HUD? BTW, in Motion 'createViewForParm:' isn't being called for the HUD. It's called for the first time when it's needed for the inspector. In FCP, it's called once during startup, and then again when it's needed for the Controls tab. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

We're in much the same situation with a custom view parameter in an FxGenerator. I wasn't aware that it worked in filters, but to prevent the parameter from appearing in the HUD, you can add the kFxParameterFlag_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_DASHBOARD flag to the parameter when you add it.
