Panel as button - how to make it show up as plugin parameter ?

[lalalandsynth]

I am using a panel as a button, I can set the pluginParameterName , but not isPlugin Parameter so it does not show up in the Daw, do I need to link them to hidden buttons or is there a simple way to get them to show up ?

Maybe related.

@lalalandsynth I don't know if this finally works or not. But the fact is that since the apparition of custom LAF, there doesn't seem to be much senarios where you still need panels to behave like a button/slider, unless specific cases of course.

@ustk Yep, for some reason we used panels for our buttons.
Should I look into hidden buttons to make them automatable?

@lalalandsynth Since this has apparently never been fixed, an overlapped (or hidden) linked button seems to be the way.
Be sure that the amount of code complication is worth to add a button instead of just replacing the panels.

I have to do this with my project as well because I started before the apparition of custom LAF and I prefer to keep things tidy and up to date instead of complicating the code (so the maintenance)
