Hi @markg, welcome to the GP community.

I am affraid you need a little help from a script for this:

@David-san

Hi @tmart, welcome to the comunity. Here is a gigfile with a widget button which opens a plugin window: Plugin_button.gig (8.7 KB)

It is based on this script:

//$
// DO NOT EDIT THIS SECTION MANUALLY
Var
PLUGIN : PluginBlock
PLUGIN_BUTTON : Widget
//$

// Called when a widget value has changed

On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from PLUGIN_BUTTON

If (newValue > 0.5)
Then
OpenPlugin(PLUGIN);
Else
ClosePlugin(PLUGIN)
End
End

I think for this kind of thing it is also good to set the option in Options=>Preferences=>“Keep plugin window on top”.



I hope it is what you need, if not don’t hesitate to ask again

Additionnaly you need to define handles for both the widget:

and the plugin block:

so that GPScript can find them.
