[gmpi] Re: lost-n-found #5 - GUI windows

I think the GUI requirements should be fairly concise:

The host supplies a peer window handle and a suggested window size if requested.
The host supplies a generic parametric UI if requested.
The host negotiates window sizes if requested.
The host can open, MINIMIZE, or close the editor.

Within these parameters, plugins can open multiple editors, multiple windows, etc.

OK, Quick stab at the unresolved things..

Multiple editors - YES ( GMPI's MVC nature should support this easily )

>>>VST allows a plug-in to have multiple *windows* e.g. a
>>>main window and then open a subwindow to show some
>>>additional controls.

Yes Sounds reasonable.

>>>>>Perhaps it should also be allowed zero windows.

It was me that asked the question, now i'm thinking no. We don't need to specifically support zero windows. Hardware control surfaces (the reason I gave) are already catered for via MIDI controllers etc.

otherwise what you said is fine.


Best Regards,
Jeff
