Problems with GUI Update Timer

I have a number of modules that use GUI Update Timer for some of the onscreen display behaviour, but on some of them the timer does not seem to be firing correctly. In all cases the StartGuiUpdateTimer() is being called in the initialize section.

For example, when used as a VST3 in Cubase 10, the updates don't happen at all on screen unless you click on a module - when the refresh works fine -- but the example timer module is working fine :-( I'm confused!

I don't remember having these issues in a previous builds. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong, or is there a bug in 1.2.3?

AndyMac,

There are a couple of things you can do here.

1) Step through the code.
2) Watch the output window for java exceptions.
3) Try a blank module with just a timer and double check it is getting called.

Let us know what you find...but if GUI timers were not working - then Voltage would be obviously broken in 1.2.3.

I'll have a look at this next week to see if I can get more on what is causing it. Thanks
