Display a specific window ( ie : region matrix ) only if it's not already active

[modraw]

Hey dear coding people.

Would you mind help a noob looking for a simple action : I'd like to display the region matrix only if it's not already visible/active ?

Thanks for the help

Visible should be possible, using GetToggleCommandState2:
http://mespotine.de/Ultraschall/Reap...eCommandState2

I don't have Reaper here right now, so I wrote this from memory, mostly. It should work, but if not, just follow the steps I wrote later.

Just go into the actionlist, create a new script using the NEW-button for ReaScripts.
Name the file to Show_Regionmatrix.lua. and hit Save.

Paste the following into the script-window that appears.

if reaper.GetToggleCommandState2(40251)==0 then
    reaper.Main_OnCommand(40251,0)
end

Hit Cmd+S or Ctrl+S and it should work already, everytime you hit Cmd+S or Ctrl+S.

Now, the aforementioned "later steps":
If it doesn't always show the RegionMatrix, change the

if reaper.GetToggleCommandState2(40251)==0 then

to

if reaper.GetToggleCommandState2(40251)==1 then

If it works successfully, close the window.



"Active window" isn't codeable, unfortunately. But maybe, my code is sufficient enough.

Hey mespotine, as you can see in the attached screen. The region render matrix doesn't seem to have a state variable.
I guess I'll have to wait for a reaper update then ?

Hmm..seems like that. :/
