How to ensure MIDI Overlay Panels Load on Exported Plugin?

[ILIAM]

Is there a fix or workaround for this?

When I first open the VST in the DAW, the MIDI overlay shows the MIDI notes, and drag-and-drop works.
But after deleting the VST from the MIDI track and reinserting it, both MIDI overlay panels disappear—as if they were never there.
The only way to restore them is to close Ableton and reopen it.

Tested on Reaper and Ableton, same!

First time:

Second time( Just a blank screen )

@ILIAM what if you send a repaint message after a delay or after an action?

[ILIAM]

@ustk I have Play Stop on Ui.
It plays, I hear the midi but OverlayTile Not showing up.This helps?

[ILIAM]

@ustk I aware of Midi Panel painting, Let's say we can handle that side with Painting and a Panel.
What about Drag&Drop side? Is there any Hack to Use a Panel or a Popup Button to export the Midi?

[Matt_SF]

From the tests I've made, the tile doesn't disappear: it's still there but invisible/undraggable

@Matt_SF Since 25 Sept 2024, this has never been fixed! Can we access drag and drop in another way?

[Matt_SF]

@ILIAM Unfortunately no. I've reported the issue on GH but no fix yet.

[ILIAM]

@Matt_SF You remember it working at all?

[Matt_SF]

@ILIAM Same as you: the 1st time I load my plugin, the tile works just as expected. If I re-load the plugin on the track, or load another one in another track: the tile gets invisible.

Hers is a test for Painting Midi on a panel, and it works just:

@ILIAM here's a little snippet showing how to use a panel to drag a file:

@ustk Cheers man, can I use this for Midiplayer, just to drag Sequence 1?

[ustk]

@ILIAM Yes, no matter how you get a reference to your midi file, it'll work. In the example I just used a button to make a simplified snippet, but in your case, use the file you already have the reference to.

[ILIAM]

@ustk No Idea, this is so new to me., Just link it to MidiPlayer Sequence1, so I can drag it from there. Appreciate you, man
