Default hasCockosNoScrollUI

Hi!
I am updating my VST plugin framework/library, and currently I'm experimenting with adding support for various extensions to the VST (2.4) specs.
Reaper asks me (effCanDo) if my plugin "hasCockosNoScrollUI", but I can't find any info about this..
"hasCockosExtensions" is documentet here, but nothing about "hasCockosNoScrollUI"
Anyone knows anything?

Update: in Linux, Reaper also asks for "hasCockosViewAsConfig", which (according to the vst extension link above) means: "When loading a VST plug-in on OS X, REAPER asks the plug-in if it would like to use Cocoa for its UI." .. What does that mean for Linux?

I think that reaper has some extra undocumented extensions for reaper plug-ins. you might be best off asking via askjf.com

yeah.. just wondered if anybody else knew anything.. also, at the top of that page, it says: "Note: please do not ask questions about REAPER features, bugs or scheduling, use the forums instead." :-) but it's probably best to send him an email, i guess..

Best to ignore that one, it's used internally (returning 0xbeef0000 will disable scrollbars and possibly mess with some other stuff).

For Linux it (0xbeef0000) means that the plug-in uses libSwell.so for its UI, and effEditOpen receives a libSwell HWND rather than an X window ID.

thanks!

at the moment, my library/framework is focused on vst 2.4, since that is supported everywhere.. but after the latest steinberg announcements, i'm a bit uncertain about how much effort i should put into the vst2 part.. i will keep support for it, for the time being, but also look at other formats, to "future-proof" the framework..

i recently dug up some of my old code, for ladspa and dssi support, and quickly added that back in.. at the moment i'm looking at both lv2 and vst3.. but they're both quite a mess, and i probably have to do some trickery/hacks to make them work with how my framework is set up!

we'll see how it goes..
