Displaying data for Selected objects

Risser · Post by **Risser** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 6:21 pm

How can I, in a script, know which items are selected in the track list?
I'd like to show some summary info in a report, but only for the selected items and I'm not sure how to do this.

Anyone?

Use SDB.SelectedSongList

Several of the example scripts or scripts that other people have made use this, so if you look around you should get some examples.

Also, in the developers page you can find a help file detailing all available COM objects and properties (though the last time I checked it was the 2.2 version, but that still works in 2.3

)

Happy scripting

I looked for some examples, but didn't see any that referenced only selected songs. Most scripts either built nodes, created playlists or updated/reported on the entire library.

So, I can get SDBSongData items from the SDBSelectedSongList (which isn't in the help file, by the way), assuming it acts just like an SDBSongList.

But I can't see how to get Quality/Mood/etc from there.

Is there some resource besides the "Developer Scripting" page? Because it doesn't have ANY of this information on it.

Thanks,
Peter

Example:

Code: Select all

  set Songlist = SDB.SelectedSongList
  for i=0 to Songlist.Count-1
    set Track = Songlist.Item(i)
    SDB.MessageBox Track.Artist.Name, mtWarning, Array(mbOk)  
  next
