/** Edit controller component interface extension: Vst::IParameterFunctionName
\ingroup vstIPlug vst370
- [plug imp]
- [extends IEditController]
- [released: 3.7.0]
- [optional]

This interface allows the host to get a parameter associated to a specific meaning (a functionName) for a given unit.
The host can use this information, for example, for drawing a Gain Reduction meter in its own UI.
In order to get the plain value of this parameter, the host should use the IEditController::normalizedParamToPlain.
The host can automatically map parameters to dedicated UI controls, such as the wet-dry mix knob or Randomize button.

\section IParameterFunctionNameExample Example

\code{.cpp}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// here an example of how a VST3 plug-in could support this IParameterFunctionName interface.
// we need to define somewhere the iids:

in MyController class declaration
class MyController : public Vst::EditController, public Vst::IParameterFunctionName
{
	...
	tresult PLUGIN_API getParameterIDFromFunctionName (UnitID unitID, FIDString functionName,
													Vst::ParamID& paramID) override;
	...

	OBJ_METHODS (MyController, Vst::EditController)
	DEFINE_INTERFACES
		...
		DEF_INTERFACE (Vst::IParameterFunctionName)
	END_DEFINE_INTERFACES (Vst::EditController)
	...
}

#include "ivstparameterfunctionname.h"
namespace Steinberg {
	namespace Vst {
		DEF_CLASS_IID (IParameterFunctionName)
	}
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
tresult PLUGIN_API MyController::getParameterIDFromFunctionName (UnitID unitID, FIDString functionName,
                                                                 Vst::ParamID& paramID)
{
	using namespace Vst;

	paramID = kNoParamId;

	if (unitID == kRootUnitId && FIDStringsEqual (functionName, kCompGainReduction))
		paramID = kMyGainReductionId;

	return (paramID != kNoParamId) ? kResultOk : kResultFalse;
}

//--- a host implementation example: --------------------
...
FUnknownPtr<Vst::IParameterFunctionName> functionName (mEditController->getIEditController ());
if (functionName)
{
	Vst::ParamID paramID;
	if (functionName->getParameterIDFromFunctionName (Vst::FunctionNameType::kCompGainReduction, paramID) == kResultTrue)
	{
		// paramID could be cached for performance issue
		ParamValue norm = mEditController->getIEditController ()->getParamNormalized (paramID);
		ParamValue plain = mEditController->getIEditController ()->normalizedParamToPlain (paramID, norm);
		// plain is something like -6 (-6dB)
	}
}
\endcode
