AudioProcessorValueTreeState and child valuetrees

I have been trying to use AudioProcessorValueTreeState to manage the state of a plugin. I need to store the contents of some other ValueTrees in the state that are arbitrary data not linked to parameters.

in my processor constructor, i have something like this

mAPVTS.createAndAddParameter(...)
mAPVTS.createAndAddParameter(...)
mAPVTS.state = ValueTree("root");
mAPVTS.state.getOrCreateChildWithName("child1", nullptr);
mAPVTS.state.getOrCreateChildWithName("child2", nullptr);

In set state / get state information I serialise and restore the main APVTS value tree.

I have a UI component that stores it’s state into one of the child value trees, and when the plugin state is restored, the component seems to refer to a different value tree.

What is the best way to deal with multiple value trees in this situation and keep them all referring to the correct things?

Thanks

so making my UI component a ValueTree::Listener I could update the state member with a new reference in valueTreeRedirected() when the state is restored.

void valueTreeRedirected (ValueTree &treeWhichHasBeenChanged) override
{
  if(treeWhichHasBeenChanged.getType() == mState.getType())
  {
    mState = treeWhichHasBeenChanged;
  }
}

cool, I was wondering, what would work, but didn’t have the time to try things.
But that’s a nice solution…
BTW. I added a ValueTreeDebugListener to the module you just contributed to. So you can easily check, what callbacks are issued from a ValueTree:
