Get Info from active Send Window?

[Triode]

Hi folks

Is there a way of getting the receive name (and send track) from the currently active send window?

I mean this window:


Many thanks!

Using js_ReaScriptAPI extensin, maybe try something like,..

local title = reaper.JS_Localize('Controls for track ', 'common')
local hwnd = reaper.JS_Window_FindTop(title, false)
 
if hwnd then 
  local container = reaper.JS_Window_FindChildByID(hwnd, 0) 
  local child = reaper.JS_Window_FindChildByID(container, 1038)
  if child then
    titlebar_text = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(hwnd) -- e.g., Controls for track 1 "Drums"
    child_text = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(child)   -- e.g., Send to track 3 "Reverb"

    send_track = child_text:match(" to track (%d)")
    recv_track = titlebar_text:match(" for track (%d)")
     
    reaper.ClearConsole()
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(titlebar_text .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(child_text .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("send to track #" .. send_track .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("recv from track #" .. recv_track .. '\n') 
  end
end

Thank you Edgemeal I'll give that a try

This doesn't seem to work (at least not on mac)
If I set the console to display the child string it comes up with nil.
Maybe it's because the send window opens with the number field highlighted?

local title = reaper.JS_Localize('Controls for track ', 'common')
local hwnd = reaper.JS_Window_FindTop(title, false)
 
if hwnd then 
  local container = reaper.JS_Window_FindChildByID(hwnd, 0) 
  local child = reaper.JS_Window_FindChildByID(container, 1038)
  
reaper.ClearConsole()
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(child) .. '\n') ---  comes up with "nil"
  
  
  if child then
    titlebar_text = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(hwnd) -- e.g., Controls for track 1 "Drums"
    child_text = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(child)   -- e.g., Send to track 3 "Reverb"

    send_track = child_text:match(" to track (%d)")
    recv_track = titlebar_text:match(" for track (%d)")
     
    reaper.ClearConsole()
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(titlebar_text .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(child_text .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("send to track #" .. send_track .. '\n') 
    reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("recv from track #" .. recv_track .. '\n') 
  end
end

On Win10 here, maybe the window layout is a tad different on MAC, Hopefully the control IDs are the same, then we should be able to loop thru the child windows and find the control with that text, Try this..

function GetControlsForTrackText()
  local title = reaper.JS_Localize('Controls for track ', 'common')
  local hwnd = reaper.JS_Window_FindTop(title, false) 
  if hwnd then 
    local arr = reaper.new_array({}, 255)
    local ret = reaper.JS_Window_ArrayAllChild(hwnd, arr) 
    local adr = arr.table()
    for j = 1, #adr do
      local child = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress(adr[j])
      local id = reaper.JS_Window_AddressFromHandle(reaper.JS_Window_GetLongPtr(child, "ID")) 
      if id == 1038 then return reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(hwnd), reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(child) end
    end
  end
end


local titlebar_text, child_text = GetControlsForTrackText()
if titlebar_text ~= nil then
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(titlebar_text .. '\n') 
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(child_text .. '\n') 
end

That seems to have done the trick for Mac
Many thanks for that
Does it work on windows too btw?
Little donation for snippet sent

Ya, works here on Win10_x64 w/REAPER v6.36.
Thanks for the donation!
