Help me understand how to script .setZoomLevel

Mighty23

I would like the plugin to be initialized with a zoom of 0.5, then I would like the user to be able to choose the size of the UI.

Content.makeFrontInterface(700, 1000);
Settings.setZoomLevel(0.5);

//Zoom UI
reg size_ui = 0.5;
inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
    if (value == 1) { 
        size_ui = 0.5;
    }
    else if (value == 2) { 
        size_ui = 0.625;
    }
    else if (value == 3) { 
        size_ui = 0.825;
    }    
    // Set the zoom level based on the selected value
    Settings.setZoomLevel(size_ui);
    Content.getComponent("pnlMain").repaint();
}
Content.getComponent("ComboBox1").setControlCallback(onComboBox1Control);

UI does not start at 50% (0.5)
I have to select the element inside the combo box several times to get the right UI. For example, to select the second option and trigger the zoom I have to choose the second element, then choose another and then return to the second.

What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way to resize the UI according to the proposed logic?

@Mighty23 said in Help me understand how to script .setZoomLevel:

Content.getComponent("pnlMain").repaint();

Instead of creating references dynamically, do something like:

const pnlMain = Content.getComponent("pnlMain"); within your on init callback, then just refer to pnlMain when you want to use it, for example pnlMain.repaint();

Is your combobox set to saveInPreset?

This works here

@d-healey I compiled the snippet and it doesn't work in the DAW (both Win & Mac).

At startup the UI is at 100% not in the value indicated by the combo box.
I tried both with and without:

Content.makeFrontInterface(700, 1000);
// Settings.setZoomLevel(0.5);  (with & without this)

//Zoom UI
inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
	if (value < 1)
		return;

	local sizes = [0.5, 0.625, 0.825];
	Settings.setZoomLevel(sizes[value - 1]);
}
Content.getComponent("ComboBox1").setControlCallback(onComboBox1Control);

@Mighty23 Does it work when compiled as a standalone app?

Mighty23

@d-healey I can tell you with certainty that the standalone version (Windows) works; the vst/au version does not.

d.healey

@Mighty23 ok, I'll test the plugin version in a little while

d.healey

VST3 working here too. Did you import the snippet into your current project or a new clean project?

Mighty23

@d-healey I apologize if it took me half a day to answer you but I would have liked to give you answers for sure and therefore I did all the tests that came to mind.

If I import your snippet into a new project, it behaves exactly as we expect.
if I import your snippet into the existing project, the UI zoom does not happen as hoped. The plugin launches with 100% UI.
if I copy and/or recreate the code proposed in my project, the plugin does not start with a UI zoomed to 0.5
extra: if I open another project this one in HISE "inherits" the zoom of the previous project; only in HISE not in the compiled plugin. (minor issue)

The problem manifests itself in the compiled version of the plugins. How can I continue investigating?

d.healey

@Mighty23 what happens if you delete the app data folder for your project before launching the plugin?

Mighty23

@d-healey I believe this solved the problem in Windows. Now I have to look for something similar in OSX, right?

on windows:

with the "run" command I searched for the location of AppData
inside the AppData folder we find the Roaming folder
Delete the plugin folder: AppData/Roaming/[Company Name]/[Plugin Name]/

I will wait to complete the final tests on both OSes to be able to confirm this issue as fixed.

d.healey

@Mighty23 Yeah I'm guessing some setting within the app data folder was set by some previous iteration of your project and the new value is just being ignored. So by deleting that folder we start fresh.

Mighty23

@d-healey I confirm that it solves completely, thanks for the always efficient help.

On mac os AppData is this:
/users/[YOUR_USER]/Library/Application Support
