<![CDATA[Default button state on load]]>I have a toggle button that controls the visibility of a panel.

Panel defaults to visible on load, and the button default value set to 1.0 in interface designer props.

But when I load the project the button is in the 'off' state, which doesn't match the panel display state.

Do I have to script the 'on' value in onInit, or is there a way to do it just in the interface designer?

Content.getComponent("btnShowPanel").setValue(1.0);

If I start flipping values as a workaround, my future self will not thank me when he looks at the code in 2 years! 😂

That's a cool idea!

I suppose I should be saving the value somewhere so it survives across plugin loads.

Are there any docs/examples for saving user preferences?

EDIT: found an example: https://docs.hise.dev/tutorials/scripting/index.html#user-preference-system

Do I have to script the 'on' value in onInit,

Is the button set to saveInPreset?

That's how I always do it.
