FX plugin fail - works fine in HISE...

[Lindon]

So here's a very odd situation.. I have an FX plugin - that renders and works fine in HISE, it looks like this:

See all that nice stuff in the top window? and the preset name above it?

now I compile it as an FX plugin and open it in Reaper, and it looks like this:

All the knob and button controls respond fine, but the preset browser wont even show up and the panel wont draw itself...

I upgraded to the latest HISE this morning - still the same behaviors, any one have any ideas?

@Lindon Is that EQ a panel of your own construction? Is it possible it simply has no data to draw?
When facing that kind of issue I add a dummy button to manually force a repaint, and a dummy label to show the data (values, mouse state, etc...) so you see what's behind the scene in real time
Could the data be in an object that is not saved in preset once exported? (in the case you save the state in a data object of a panel essentially...)

Well the "EQ Window" is showing the values for a set of Linkwitz Reily filters, so not really an eq in the sense of displaying incoming audio...so it does have some values.

I added repaint command in the init to force a repaint - and that didn't make any difference. The thing that really gets me is the preset name and the "preset browser opening" button not working....

audio makes it thru the plugin - but it has no effect on it...mystery.
