How to check that the preset has finished loading?

civet

I want to read some values from preset when the plugin startup.
I found it does not work well with those UIs not finished recovering from preset.

@civet You can use the postCallback() of the preset handler.

@d-healey are there any examples of this？I tried it, but the callback does not seem to fire :(

Not that I know of, but there isn't much to it:

const uph = Engine.createUserPresetHandler();

uph.setPostCallback(function()
{
   Console.print("The preset is loaded"); 
});

@d-healey I see... It’s only for user preset system such as using a UserPreset browser, not what I wanted.

@civet What do you want?

You can also use it for the "loadUserPreset()" function

yea, I think it does the same thing as clicking on a PresetBrowser.

@d-healey
I'm using a hidden UI control to save the state about which samplemap is selected.

And then, restore it in a DAW Session without touching the loadUserPreset() function

my solution doesn't work properly in the compiled plugin:

restoreSamplemapFrom( hiddenLabel.get("text")  ); // this text is empty on Init

Maybe I could use a ComboBox with ControlCallback instead of this simple Label.

@civet So this has nothing to do with presets. You can use the onloading callback to check if samples have finished loading from a sample map.
