Can't see VST effects on tracks?

Excuse my ignorance to the workings of Sonar, but when I apply a VST effect to a track such as an EQ to a vocal track, upon closing the window that pops up for it I just can't seem to find a way to reopen that window later.
 
For example I recorded some vocals, did a little bit of initial EQ, but then when it came to opening up that EQ again later I just cannot seem to find any way to do so, despite the EQ definitely still being on.
 
Surely there's a way to bring that EQ window back up so I can re-edit its settings? I'm sure it's a simple thing, but like I said Sonar is really new to me.
 
Many thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum!
    What happens when you click the VST name in the track header, where the added VSTs for the track are listed?
    Have you made the track high enough to see all the track properties?

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Where is the track header? When I click on the track itself I don't see a list of anything. I've also expanded the track as much as possible.
    Here's a screenshot:

    The track there has an EQ and an autotune on it (just for test purposes), but I can't see it.
     
    EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT! There was a little drop down menu above the track header that said "custom" on it. Setting it to all of FX made it show the effects that were on it. Thanks for the help guys and please excuse my n00bdom!

    Above the track headers (pointed to by C) and below the track view menu (pointed to by A) to the right of the time display is a drop down which is set to Custom. Change the value to All to see everything available in the track header. The keyboard shortcut is SHIFT and the LEFT/RIGHT Arrow keys.

    Or click the Clips tab in the Inspector to reveal the track strip in the Inspector. The FX Bin is pointed to C below
     
     
    The FX bin is also displayed in the Console view, in the big red box below
     
     

    BTW, you may want to start posting in the X Series forum. This forum is for older Pre-X series versions of SONAR.
