Lil Help with a text input box

[barbaroja]

I am using gofer region scripts to create quick regions from time selection, with preset names for the arrangement sections I use. (intro, chorus, verse...)

So far has been great. However one feature I really would like is the ability to get user input for appending to the already set name.

For example. I hit the button to create a chorus. My structure goes from sections (A,B,C...) and occurrences in the song (1, 1', 2, 2'...).

Could I make a textbox appear when I call the script that asks me for the suffix manual input?

I.e: I hit the chorus button, so I input 1A' and I get "CHORUS 1A" as region name.

I am appending the script I am using now:





colorlist = [18894459, 24596520, 18633001, 18160236, 23541849]
listlength = len(colorlist)
colorindex = 0

TimeSel = RPR_GetSet_LoopTimeRange2(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
SelStart = TimeSel[3]
SelEnd = TimeSel[4]

HasState = RPR_HasExtState("Ruler", "Region_CustomColor")
if HasState == 1:
colorindex = int(RPR_GetExtState("Ruler", "Region_CustomColor"))
if colorindex > listlength - 1:
colorindex = 0

RPR_AddProjectMarker2(0, 1, SelStart, SelEnd, "CHORUS", -1, colorlist[colorindex])

colorindex += 1
RPR_SetExtState("Ruler", "Region_CustomColor", colorindex, 0)

Thanks man. Any help on how could that be used as a suffix?

[barbaroja]

Any words?

Replace this line:

RPR_AddProjectMarker2(0, 1, SelStart, SelEnd, "CHORUS", -1, colorlist[colorindex])

With this:

(retval, title, num_inputs, captions_csv, retvals_csv, retvals_csv_sz) = RPR_GetUserInputs("Title", 1, "Suffix", "", 512)
if retval:
  RPR_AddProjectMarker2(0, 1, SelStart, SelEnd, "CHORUS " + retvals_csv, -1, colorlist[colorindex])
