Is there a way from within a script to find out which input is displayed in the Preview and Output windows? I have a 2 camera system and I could better automate their control if I had that info available.

Thanks

Thanks doggy.. Here is the code

dim PreviewIn as string 'holds the Input number in the Preview window
dim ActiveIn as string 'holds the Input number in the Active window
dim PreviewTitle as string 'holds the Title in the Preview window
dim ActiveTitle as string 'holds the Title in the Active window

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

ActiveIn= (x.SelectSingleNode("//active").InnerText)
PreviewIn= (x.SelectSingleNode("//preview").InnerText)
PreviewTitle = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& PreviewIn &"']/@title").Value)
ActiveTitle = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& ActiveIn &"']/@title").Value)


console.writeline(PreviewIn)
console.writeline(ActiveIn)
console.writeline(PreviewTitle)
console.writeline(ActiveTitle)

There you go :-)

Why not ad this little tidbit to the scripting for dummies post ?

and use the 'choose language for syntax highlighting' for the code
