Thanks Edward,

My first expedition into C#....... I may have questions later!

@jetdv Edward, about those questions.......

I wrote this script in order to work towards adding an effect to a single video event selected on the timeline. I am finding the strict capitalisation of C# a major PITA after the simplicity of VB!

I reasoned that I should enumerate the tracks then enumerate the events on each track. Just to test the flow I added code to select every event present. This is the code, tested on a single video track containing a single still image:-

using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

public class EntryPoint
{
    Vegas myVegas;

    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)

    {
    myVegas = vegas;

    foreach (Track myTrack in myVegas.Project.Tracks)

        {
        foreach(TrackEvent myEvent in myTrack)

            {
                myEvent.Selected = true;

            }

        }
    }  
}

Unfortunately the host will not enumerate the track events. The script halts on the line with:

foreach(TrackEvent myEvent in myTrack) with the message:

C:\Users\Richard\Documents\VEGAS Script Menu\Test(15) : foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'ScriptPortal.Vegas.Track' because 'ScriptPortal.Vegas.Track' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

Is enumerating events beyond the capability of a simple script? Will I have to move to a Visual Studio compiled .DLL or have I made a schoolboy error?

@Richard-N

foreach(TrackEvent myEvent in myTrack.Events)

You have to tell the foreach what you're wanting to look at. In this case the "Events" in myTrack.

@jetdv  Thanks Edward.

For several very good reasons, attempting to write scripts in a simple text editor is frought with difficulty. Without the intellisense provided by Visual Studio where the syntax and structure is checked on the fly, and the properties of each object are offered up as you type them in, it is almost impossible to write or debug effectively. Authoring DLLs in VS seems to be the way ahead.
