Engine not showing UI

Hi!

I have a container (‘Main’), with some code inside and a “sub-container” (‘UI’) where I developed the User Interface for the ‘Main’ container using some text Comps. And this ui shows as the user interface in ‘Main’ and it is interactive.
My problem is that i have to run ‘Main’ on an Engine Comp, and when ‘Main’ loads the ui does not show. Even if i set the Operator Viewer in the Common page to ‘./UI’.

Am I doing something wrong or Engine Comps just can’t have containers as background?

Engine COMPs aren’t Panel components, so they don’t render UIs.

I keep meaning to do tests with EngineCOMPs but it keeps falling off my docket in favor of other work.

Engine COMPs support custom parameters, so I’d assume the best way to move UI updates from an external Panel into an EngineCOMP would either be to have the external panel control exposed parameters or, use a Panel chop to capture panel interactions and send them in via a chop input.

Well danm!

I’ll give the Panel CHOP a go though!

Thanks :slight_smile:
