ProTools automation menu

[Franky47]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to display the Automation menu that you can find in ProTools Mac when Ctrl+Alt+Cmd clicking an UI component bound to an automatable parameter.

For some reason, mouseDown with the given modifiers will not trigger anything. The solution I have in mind would be to let ProTools handle this shortcut and bypass Juce's handlers for this particular combination of actions..

Did someone already experienced this?

I think I'm having the exact same problem as you do. I want to enable this shortcut and I am wondering if it could be handled "automatically" or not. I read on RTAS SDK's official documentation that one should not override the shortcut as it is supposed to be handled directly by the SDK, but I don't see anything in Juce framework that would suggest it would work.
To make it work, do we have to:
- recognize this specific combination of keys in a mouseDown callback, and then
- send somehow a message to the RTAS SDK, to launch Pro Tools' automation menu for the parameter linked to the component?
If so, I must admit I don't see how to send this kind of message to the SDK...

Were you able to find the solution to your question? Does anyone have any clue about that?

I'm looking for such a thing. Apparently, implementing CEffectProcess::ChooseControl is half of the problem: it is not called when the editor uses the Juce framework. I haven't achieved yet to find which method or call should trigger this functionality. Related: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9208
