Hello all,

there is probably a simple way of doing this, but I really don't see it:

Can I update a label on my VST. In other words, I want some of the text on the plugin to change with certain paramters and I just want to do string updates, but the Label component has no string input. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

GPK

hey GPK i hope this helps you: go inside the label module(double click on it) and add another input module ( there is only a "blank" input module. you can drag a input from the toolbox or just press i on your pc keyboard). now connect it to the text module AND to the redraw (you will see that the input switches to a string input at the moment you connect it to a string, if you would connect it to a float module it would switch to a float input) . if you do not connect it to the redraw the text will be displayed but will not change.
