CSlider falls back to value color WhiteCColor instead of the defined bmp

Developer VSTGUI

I gave up on coding the UI since it is pretty much fixed.

I am using JSON uidesc.

I have dB CSlider which I add through the WYSIWYG Editor.
The bitmap attribute cannot be set to the bitmap name if there is a value color defined on something other than “none”.
So, I set it to “none”, then choose the bitmap and the UI shows the name.
I save, close the editor and there are two use cases:

  1. immediately check the bitmap, but it is just the white color I have disabled.
  2. Close the debugger, manually erase the value color row all together and then rerun. Still white. Then I open open the Editor editor and I see it has change from “none” to “~ WhiteCColor” and it seems there is a problem.

What might be the problem?
I made the bmp file on linux in GIMP, and passed at to a Windows guest OS; It is probably not the problem.

Does the pixel width and height have to match exactly in the bmp and the attribute of CView? It is in a Column container and it is giving me a hard time about exact width and height of children.

It may not be obvious, but you need to recompile after you have made changes to the editor and unloaded your plug-in. As long as your plug-in is loaded this is not necessary.
