Tracks in multi-projects + pop-corn!

[Jeffos]

I'm now deeply in GetSetObjectState(). The question I have, is how I can get a track for a given project ?
For envelopes, I've seen GetSelectedTrackEnvelope() that allows retreiving an envelope in a given project, didn't find any comparable thing for tracks (perhaps it's meaningless, ie limited to current project ?).

OT: the dev sub-forum was sooo calm a few weeks ago... and now it's in fire! many, many question since reaScript is born!! I have to say that's I'm having a great time seeing all these threads (I often ask myself the same Q's, but for C++) eating some pop-corn during the show
My api knowledge is growing a bit but it's not enough to help about the recent Q's... but I'll do it if I can!

I want to thank the questionners (especially, MikeLacey but others too) and of course the answerers Xenakios, SWS, .. and of course schwa, who visibly makes a real effort about that. Time to say that all of that is very, Very, VERY much appreciated here, thanks to all !

Not sure I understand your question Jeffos: we're not talking GetSelectedTrack() here, right?

Maybe you meant "item" or "take", not "track"?

[Jeffos]

..ah! Ok, "Get*SELECTED*TrackEnvelope", I didn't see that. What I mean is how can I get a track -which is perhaps not selected- in a given project, do we really have to select it first? [edit] humm.. but to select it, we have to get it 1st![/edit] The same Q goes for enveloppe, in fact.

For envelopes there is nothing else but : GetSelectedTrackEnvelope(), which then can be used with GetSetObjectState(). So it follows the same limited functionality as in Reaper's GUI : only one envelope can be selected at a time for manipulation.

To get a pointer to an indexed track (in the order they appear in the track control panel) :

MediaTrack* pTrack=CSurf_TrackFromID(index,false);

Where index 0 means the master track and 1 means the topmost normal track in the project. To not ask for tracks that don't exist and get some nasty error, use GetNumTracks() to get the number of tracks currently in the project. (The last track index valid for CSurf_TrackFromID would then be GetNumTracks()+1.)

Jeffos, pass the MediaTrack* into GetSetObjectState.

[edit Xen beat me with a better answer ]

[Jeffos]

thanks to both of you! yes, I'm used to CSurf_TrackFromID(), what I mean is; is there a way to get tracks in another project than the current one ?

[sws]

Why, MediaTrack* GetTrack(ReaProject* proj, int trackidx) of course!

Ok, that wasn't entirely clear from your question. I don't unfortunately know, I haven't done much, if any, explicit support for multiple project tabs.

edit : Nevermind, sws got the answer...

duh! Indeed!
ok, sorry guys: I'll now be sure I've "auto-upgraded" my SDK before asking such questions... GREAT!
