Member Function Documentation

◆ setComponentState()

virtual tresult setComponentState ( IBStream state)
pure virtual

Receives the component state.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ setState()

virtual tresult setState ( IBStream state)
pure virtual

Sets the controller state.

Implemented in SingleComponentEffect, and EditController.

◆ getState()

virtual tresult getState ( IBStream state)
pure virtual

Gets the controller state.

Implemented in SingleComponentEffect, and EditController.

◆ getParameterCount()

virtual int32 getParameterCount ( )
pure virtual

Returns the number of parameters exported.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ getParameterInfo()

virtual tresult getParameterInfo ( int32  paramIndex,
ParameterInfo info 
)
pure virtual

Gets for a given index the parameter information.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ getParamStringByValue()

virtual tresult getParamStringByValue ( ParamID  id,
ParamValue  valueNormalized,
String128  string 
)
pure virtual

Gets for a given paramID and normalized value its associated string representation.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ getParamValueByString()

virtual tresult getParamValueByString ( ParamID  id,
TChar string,
ParamValue valueNormalized 
)
pure virtual

Gets for a given paramID and string its normalized value.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ normalizedParamToPlain()

virtual ParamValue normalizedParamToPlain ( ParamID  id,
ParamValue  valueNormalized 
)
pure virtual

Returns for a given paramID and a normalized value its plain representation (for example -6 for -6dB - see vst3AutomationIntro).

Implemented in EditController.

◆ plainParamToNormalized()

virtual ParamValue plainParamToNormalized ( ParamID  id,
ParamValue  plainValue 
)
pure virtual

Returns for a given paramID and a plain value its normalized value.

(see vst3AutomationIntro).

Implemented in EditController.

◆ getParamNormalized()

virtual ParamValue getParamNormalized ( ParamID  id)
pure virtual

Returns the normalized value of the parameter associated to the paramID.

Implemented in EditController.

◆ setParamNormalized()

virtual tresult setParamNormalized ( ParamID  id,
ParamValue  value 
)
pure virtual

Sets the normalized value to the parameter associated to the paramID.

The controller must never pass this value-change back to the host via the IComponentHandler. It should update the according GUI element(s) only!

Implemented in EditController.

◆ setComponentHandler()

virtual tresult setComponentHandler ( IComponentHandler handler)
pure virtual

Gets from host a handler which allows the Plugin-in to communicate with the host.

Note: This is mandatory if the host is using the IEditController!

Implemented in EditController.

◆ createView()

virtual IPlugView * createView ( FIDString  name)
pure virtual

Creates the editor view of the plug-in, currently only "editor" is supported, see ViewType.

The life time of the editor view will never exceed the life time of this controller instance.

Implemented in EditController.
