Hi, I'm trying to get some feedback from my plugin during development, so i decided to create a extra parameter and update it with the information i needed, however it doesn't seem to refresh itself, unless i modify other parameters. anyone got any ideas? am i being stupid!

Is there an easier way of looking at what your VST plugin is doing, any suitable debuggers, or any way of outputting a variable to screen?

I'm using Visual C++ 6 and cubase 5.1 for a host

thanks

for any code outside process(), process_replacing() you can use any debugger, the msvc debugger will do it. Within these functions I sometimes use OutputDebugString(). You will see the messages in the debuggers output window (or use DbgView from sysinternal.com without debugger). Don't call OutputDebugString() too often, or your audio thread will stall.
