Drop Down Window

[Rocko]

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a way to create a drop-down window (not menu, but full window).
For example, let's say the VST I'm creatingn with FS is 50x50 (counted in FS grid system units).
Once user presses a specific knob on GUI screen, the GUI will add a new part (let's say on bottom part) to receive a full 70X50 VST GUI.

Can this be done with FS/SM?

Thanks,
Rocko

You may use setViewSize command in ruby to change position and size of a front panel. Read manual for further info...

you can do have different sized widows whcih can be shown or not or you can move them around and set their size like KG said, but you cannot change the main window size of the app, so if you want to make the main window bigger when you select some specific window this is not possible, this feature was introduced shortly in vst sdk 3 so its not possible alone from this side after FS is using vst sdk 2.4, so all resizings and move arounds are only possible inside the main window

Hi,

Another one which is related to GUI...

I'm using a slider knob and noticed that when moving the slider all the way up or down, the mouse icon (which turns to a pointing finger) will:

1. Disappear upon mouse Left down press
2. Re-appear on a different place (much higher or lower than slider length)

Any tip on this one?

Thanks,
Rocko
