setVisible problem on panel load

[human fly]

hi,
i’m having a problem with setVisible()
my panel is not loading modulator defaults anyway, but this
also means the start-up view is a mess, with all setVisible
options defined by Lua showing.

here is a zip with a mini-panel (inc only resource, a png image).
please have a look at the lua methods associated with ‘structure’
selector (not the dropdown list, which is only ‘linked’ to the
structure12/34 objects), and at the PCM Bank selectors, which
control the choice of pcm lists 1+2.

i have only the vaguest notion of what refresh/repaint do.
seen, but never used.

this may be a wider problem i’m having, with no modulators
loading with their default setting.

nb: these views were ok in earliest versions of this macro,
but when i started having several instances for all the parts,
the start-up ended up doing this.

update: this panel is ok, as an exported instance, when there is only
one of these configurations. i have it copied 8 times in the panel, and
that is when the start-up problem occurs.

what is the function i need for this? i’m going to search posts for
‘panel refresh’, and ‘repaint’, as i don’t know what these are for.

ie: it only wants one of the options showing, but it does not seem
to be applying the ‘setVisible’ on start-up.(also not giving startup
values)

does start-up need a ‘snapshot’? how would that work?

this might be more helpful: here is the lua format. i have a feeling
something may be needed to reset the ‘banksel’ selector (“Partial1_PCM Part1”),
so that it chooses one or other parameter after the panel has loaded.
(i think i need better understanding of what after/before panel ‘has loaded’
means, in terms of state of all parameters, loading off start-up values, etc.)
question: do i need to set a nil value to ‘banksel’, to initialize it?

here is the lua (toggles between 2 views):

—
— Called when a modulator value changes
— @mod http://ctrlr.org/api/class_ctrlr_modulator.html
— @value new numeric value of the modulator
—
PCM1Bank_showChoice_Pt1 = function(mod, value)

bankSel = panel:getModulatorByName(“Partial1_PCM Part1”):getValue()
pcm1 = panel:getModulatorByName(“PCM1_P1 Part1”)
pcm2 = panel:getModulatorByName(“PCM2_P1 Part1”)

if
bankSel == 0 then

pcm1:getComponent():setVisible(true)
pcm2:getComponent():setVisible(false)
elseif
bankSel == 1 then

pcm1:getComponent():setVisible(true)
pcm2:getComponent():setVisible(false)
elseif
bankSel == 2 then

pcm1:getComponent():setVisible(false)
pcm2:getComponent():setVisible(true)
elseif
bankSel == 3 then

pcm1:getComponent():setVisible(false)
pcm2:getComponent():setVisible(true)
end
end
