SetDisplayText Weirdness

[junioreq]

Using this code,because Iplug shows "0" instead of "0.0" in the text/caption controls:


GetParam (kWidth)->InitDouble ("Width",1.0,0.0,3.0,0.01,"");
GetParam (kWidth)->SetDisplayText (0.0,"MONO");


Shows "MONO" at any value under 1.0 and when I right click on the control, I get a weird dropdown menu haha for some reason:

Also, I'd use textcontrols, but they only take strings and you cant pass in parameters. And I don't want to be converting sprintf every darn control.

Any control that has one or more SetDisplayText() labels attached to it will automatically get a drop-down list instead of a text input box. One could probably add a method to override this default behaviour.

So, how else do we get it to display "0.0" instead of 0 ?

in Iparam.cpp, change this line in

void IParam::GetDisplayForHost(double value, bool normalized, char* rDisplay)

if (displayValue == 0.0) {
strcpy(rDisplay, "0");
}

aww cool! I was wondering what, "GetDisplayFromHost" was, I couldn't figure out, what the the host would have anything to do with the display of the plugin. Thank you, The terminology is still a bit confusing.
