How to show ui of a vst3 plugin

vvvv gamma question
1

Is it possible to show (hide) UI out of the program for example by sending a midi command?

2

If you open the “Getting Started” help patch that comes with the vst pack, you’ll see that there are ShowUI and HideUI nodes for this.

Thanks for that, but how do I switch between “hide” and “Show”? (when I connect “showui” directly to the vst Plugin it shows UI but crashes…) A switch also not works.

You need to make the main output pin visible first either via Right click / Configure / Show Output or Inspector (Ctrl + I) / Eye icon right of the Output pin.

Aahhh! I did not think of the “if” condition. Thank you!
