Event Info

pctechtv wrote on 8/25/2014, 9:48 AM

Could some one show examples of grabbing Event (Vegas Event) info? For example like Event length. I guess there would have to be some property/attribute that determines Event selected state or not. I am thinking that there may be more to it to grab; for example the selected Event or Events. Maybe a loop has to check each and return a list of selected Events. Any help examples or ideas are very welcome. Thanks

Can you be specific and describe what you want to accomplish? Examples are useful if they apply to your needs..

Are you saying that you want to Manually select an Event, or Programmatically select an Event and then display Start Time and Length?

if you want to manually select a Track and then select an Event, this will show your Event info in a Messagebox. Just save this with a .CS file extension.



using System;

using System.Text;

using System.Collections;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Collections.Generic;



using Sony.Vegas;



// API exposed for Sony Vegas to call into

public class EntryPoint

{

	// API function called by Sony Vegas when script is Run

	public void FromVegas ( Vegas vegas )

	{

		foreach ( Track track in vegas.Project.Tracks )

		{

			if ( track.Selected )

			{

				foreach ( TrackEvent te in track.Events )

				{

					if ( te.Selected )

					{

						MessageBox.Show ( "Event " + te.Index.ToString () + " in Track " + track.Index.ToString () + " Starts at " + te.Start.ToPositionString () + " with a Length of " + te.Length.ToPositionString () );

						return;

					}

				}

			}

		}

	}

}

Wow thanks so much! Extremely helpful to start understanding. All examples and ideas welcome. This will help me build. I don't know all the differences between Manually or Programmatically but the example you provide has got me started. I am pretty sure I mean Manually because I would have clicked on it first. Thanks!
