Could Sonar show the current values of the controllers in this way?

Hey Rogerio! Thanks for changing the title and content of your post... Things are bad enough around here (sometimes) without someone inadvertently providing flammable material............
 
As to your question, not that I know of. But then again, I almost never use PRV.

Thanks for your reply. 
Is there a better interface than the PRV to edit MIDI in detail, visually?

Guess I missed the first version. But I'm not sure I understand. When you say "current" value, do you mean the value at the Now time? I don't see that happening in the screenshot. Or do you just mean you want colorization in addition to the height?

Well, it depends on your preferences/capabilities, but Staff View, despite it's quirks, works for me.

The above examples aren't Platinum, but you get the idea. This is for MIDI note data, though.

As you can see in the image below, my last (current) CC11 value is, say, 100. I'm viewing the bar to 1-4.
 

 
Now I move forward, I want to keep entering values for CC11. But what was the last value? I am required to manually search up to visually find the last value, I have to click it for PRV show me the value, I have to remember, I have to go back to my current measure and have to manually enter another CC11 precisely not to give distortions.
 
 

 
All this would be easily resolved if there was this model (Cubase style) that "paints" the current value of the controller so that I always know at what point it is.
