Hi Everyone

Hope you might be able to help me fix my code -

I am trying to put a toggle input to master AND change an image onto a single button for the AKAI. TO do this I am setting the button to script start. I have so far got it toggle the Input to Master with no issues, but I am struggling to get the list to change image. WHen the input is NOT going to Master I want the image to be just "Green Room" when the Input IS going to Master I want it to show my "On Air" Image. I can do it on 2 seperate buttons using "NextItem" and "PreviousItem" but I want it to be on one button.

I see an If statement as the way forward -

If list = value 1 - show value 2, if list = value 2, show value 1. Essentially.

Here is my code (Only just learning/finding my way around vb.)

API.Function("AudioBus", Input:="Zoom1", Value:="M")
If API.Function("Selectindex", Value:="1", Input:="GR Images")
else API.Function("Selectindex", Value:="2", Input:="GR Images")
End if

I think the issue is the "IF Statement, doesn't have a value to compare to which i'm struggling to work out how to set that.

TIA

Hi, Thanks very much for that. Yes, I felt exactly as you said that it was the value for the statement to check against to then determine if the conditions were true/false. In answer to your question "where will you get it from" I've no idea, i'm hoping someone on here help me out with that!

So my question is - How do I define the status of a list (i.e which item is selected) to determine a condition to measure against when executing an if statement.

The API is as follows - with the list selection being defined by "selectedIndex"

<input key="4357451a-56c0-4dd0-86d8-e041cd8f4dbb" number="12" type="VideoList" title="GR Images - Green Room - White Text.png" shortTitle="GR Images" state="Paused" position="0" duration="0" loop="False" muted="True" volume="100" balance="0" solo="False" audiobusses="" meterF1="0" meterF2="0" selectedIndex="1">

<input key="4357451a-56c0-4dd0-86d8-e041cd8f4dbb" number="12" type="VideoList" title="GR Images - On Air_.png" shortTitle="GR Images" state="Paused" position="0" duration="0" loop="False" muted="True" volume="100" balance="0" solo="False" audiobusses="" meterF1="0" meterF2="0" selectedIndex="2">

So I assume I can have the If statement define the condition based on selectedIndex? or could it be defined by the title? How would I go about writing that?

Appreciate your reply. I have spent quite a bit of time searching for this but as yet I haven't found it. I will continue to look.

Thanks.

Hi

I just wanted to say thanks very much for your help. I managed to work it out (once i understood the "console.writeline" bit referred to the command line area underneath the scripting list, this helped me to workout what was what and that the information was being retrieved from the API.

This is how it ended up -

So shortcut commands as follows - first command toggles Input to Bus,

---

Function=AudioBus&Input=Zoom1&Value=M
Function=scriptstart&value=livestatus

---

second command runs the script as below -

---

dim xml = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)

'define the input to look at by editing the short title referenced in the API and also what part to look at - in this case "audiobuses"
'Will feed back a value of each bus seperated by a "," eg. "M,A" or "A" or "A,G" etc.
dim INPUTMASTER = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@shortTitle='Zoom1']/@audiobusses").Value)

'not needed but saving for future reference
'dim SI = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@shortTitle='GR Images']/@selectedIndex").Value)



If INPUTMASTER = "A" Then
API.Function("Selectindex", Value:="1", Input:="GR Images")
ElseIf INPUTMASTER = "M,A" Then
API.Function("Selectindex", Value:="2", Input:="GR Images")
End if
