FL right click on parameter - show automation

[dariop]

Hi,
I’m reviving this thread.

Native parameter automation menu in FL Studio

i noticed that when right-clicking on parameters in Fabfilter plugins in FL Studio, the native parameter automation popup menu would come up: [47] for Fabfilter plugins, it only seems to work for VST3 flavours (not VST2 or AU). i’m aware of JUCE’s getControlParameterIndex but that’s only for AAX plugins, and indeed doesn’t work for VST3 when i tried it. is there another way to enable this functionality in JUCE that i’m missing?

Has anyone else found a solution to this? I have had multiple users ask me to implement this in my plugin, but am unsure of any interface that allows me to expose the parameter to FL.

Would love any help

cheers

afaik its not supported with JUCE, you could create your own fork but it would not be worth the effort for me personally

Take a look at AudioProcessorEditor::getHostContext(). This may return a pointer to a host context object.

If the host context is valid, AudioProcessorEditorHostContext::getContextMenuForParameter() can be used to retrieve the host context menu for a given parameter. You can then either show the native menu, or get a JUCE PopupMenu that contains equivalent items.

At the moment, this functionality is only supported in VST3 plugins.
