When you ctrl cmd alt click a gui component that is attached to a parameter, an automation menu should spawn in protools.
What do we need to do to get this working?
For anyone trying to do the same thing:
You need to override int getControlParameterIndex(juce::Component& c) in your AudioProcessorEditor. You’ll need a way to return the parameter index associated with the passed in component, and then the menu will spawn as expected.
The last step is to deal with mouse events, as the default behaviour will spawn the menu, but it will also feed the mouse down to the component. Not a big deal with sliders, but it is for buttons.
