It's not that it '"didn't work". Sonar provides that ASIO Control Panel button IN CASE the driver UI is written to take advantage of it. Some are, and some are not.
It's not that Sonar is broken, or that the UI is broken. It's just that different companies do it sometimes to respond to that button in Sonar, and some companies instead launch access to the UI for their audio interface by opening an icon that sits in the Windows System Tray.
I have only seen the above two methods, though there may be some that use neither, and instead require double-clicking on some desktop icon.
I hope that helps clear things up on this.
