Maybe it would be a good idea to include a check, if the parameter is a valid bitmap, to prevent such things.
This is a known problem: The API can only pass void* and cannot distinguish between the different pointer types. The script coder must be very careful!
FR: Extension API: Validation for custom pointer types
SWS ReaScript: How to pass HWND from Lua to C++: Unknown type HWND

I'll think about ways to safely test pointers. In the case of HWNDs, it is possible to check using IsWindow, but this function is relatively slow on Mac and Linux, so I thought it would be better to leave it in the hands of the scripter.


Quote:
JS_LICE_Blit()
When passing a HWND as parameter destBitmap, the script crashes Lua, and I can't restart the script anymore, that includes that faulty line, until I restart Reaper.
LICE_Blit blits between LICE bitmaps, and GDI_Blit blits between two device contexts (retrieved by LICE_GetDC for a system bitmap, or GDI_GetWindowDC and GDI_GetClientDC for windows on the screen).

Not AFAIK. (I haven't thought about this, though.)

Is there a chance to include another function, that returns keyboard inputs, maybe for UNICODe characters and for multiple keys as well? The gfx.getchar doesn't support multikey-inputs and has big problems with UNICODE-stuff
Capturing keyboard input is one of the things that I couldn't get working. REAPER doesn't seem to send keyboard input into the normal message queue. (If anyone has advice on how to capture keyboard input, please let me know!)

And is there a documentation on how to build it on Win and Mac? I would love to attempt adding some more functions myself but want to check the builds before submitting any commits...
1) Check out the threads in the developer subforum, where I asked many questions about this.
2) Clone the files at https://github.com/juliansader/js_ReaScriptAPI, where I have uploaded the minimum necessary files, as well as the build commands for Mac and Linux in the .travis.yml file.

See my answer to mespotine above. I myself am building "blind", since I can't test on Mac and Linux. Please let me know whether the Linux build actually works.

To do this, you don't need to move the mouse: instead, post a "WM_LBUTTONDOWN" message with the button coordinates to the window to simulate a mouse click, and then a "WM_LBUTTONUP" to lift the mouse button again.

AFAIK, you must send the message to the child window that contains the button, not the top-level VST window. To get this window -- as long as the VST window is not hidden behind other windows -- user JS_Window_FromPoint, using the coordinates of the button.

So, if you know the relative position of the button to the VST window, you can do the following:
(I didn't include any checks, such as checking that the VSTWindow is actually found.)
Code:
-- First, get VST position on screen
VSTWindow = reaper.JS_Window_Find("title of VST", true)
rOK, leftX, topY, rightX, bottomY = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(VSTWindow)

-- Calculate button screen coordinates
buttonX = leftX + somethingX
buttonY = leftY + somethingY

-- Get button window
buttonWindow = reaper.JS_Window_FromPoint(buttonX, buttonY)
rOK, leftX, topY, rightX, bottomY = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(buttonWindow)

-- Post click message
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Post(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN", 0x0001, 0, buttonX-leftX, buttonY-topY)
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Post(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONUP", 0x0000, 0, buttonX-leftX, buttonY-topY)

@juliansader,

Thank you so much!
The way I was doing this before was with AHK which was way easier to program.
I would then use lua to execute the AHK script via a midi command, however this is way better from an organizational standpoint., one less script to keep track of.

By the way is there any way to manipulate the transparency of non-script windows with your extension?

For the time being, this function will only work on Windows. I submitted a FR for a cross-platform version.

Why not add that code directly into the extension in the meantime? (For non-mac it'd probably be best to use gdk_window_set_opacity instead of talking directly to Xorg though.)

Code:
// macOS (Objective-C!)
if ([(id)hwnd isKindOfClass:[NSWindow class]])
{
  NSWindow *window = (NSWindow *)hwnd;
}

// Others (swell-generic)
#include <swell/swell-internal.h> // to get the definition of HWND__
GdkWindow *window = hwnd->os_window;
(This will fail badly if the SWELL implementation provided by the application – REAPER – ever changes its inner workings in the future.)

Thanks! Your examples answered my biggest question: how to convert from HWND to NSWindow and GdkWindow. (I only had to change ->os_window to ->m_oswindow.)

I will therefore try include all OS versions in the next update. I can only test on Windows, but at least all different the OS versions seem to build OK.

I'm not sure if this works, but I had an idea not letting me loose:

Can you somehow provide a function, that creates a new window? And can you do that to create a window that is Retina/HiDPI-compatible?
If drawing into such a window would work, we could have at least Retina/HiDPI-gfx-windows then...

v0.95 uploaded:
* New function: JS_Window_SetOpacity.
* New function: JS_Window_GetClassName.
* Extension loads properly in Linux.

EDIT: Next update will include a safety check for JS_Window_SetOpacity in Linux, to prevent crashes when trying to change the opacity of child windows.

Thanks for adding JS_Window_GetClassName, but I can't figure how to use it , everything I try says, 'attempt to call a nil value'


Code:
function print(str)
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(str) .. "\n")
end

-- get handles to windows with title "FX:" -- (e.g., FX: Track 1)
hWnd_array = reaper.new_array({}, 100)
reaper.JS_Window_ArrayFind("FX: ", false, hWnd_array) 
tHandles = hWnd_array.table()
-- display title and classname,
for i = 1, #tHandles do
  tHandles[i] = reaper.JS_Window_HandleFromAddress(tHandles[i])
  -- get window text - OK!
  t = reaper.JS_Window_GetTitle(tHandles[i], "")
  print(t)
   -- get classname text - ??
   classname = JS_Window_GetClassName(tHandles[i], "") -- < ERROR!
   print(classname)
end

Lua example for using the WAV-writer functions in the plugin :

Code:
function test_wav_write(outfn)
local writebufsize = 512
local numoutchans = 4
local arr = reaper.new_array(writebufsize*numoutchans+numoutchans) -- need some extra space because of how the indexing works for the arrays
local b = arr
local writer = reaper.Xen_AudioWriter_Create(outfn,numoutchans,44100)
if writer~=nil then
  local phase = 0
  for i=0,999 do -- write 1000 buffers to disk
    -- fill interleaved buffer data, note that buffer data has to be written from index 1, not index 0
    for j=1,writebufsize do
      for k=0,numoutchans-1 do
        arr[j*numoutchans+k]=0.5*math.sin(2*3.141593/44100.0*phase*(100.0+k*10.0))
      end
      phase=phase+1
    end
    -- offset 1 here tells writer the data starts at array index 1
    local result = reaper.Xen_AudioWriter_Write(writer,writebufsize,arr,1)
    if result == 0 then reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("Fail during writing\n") break end
  end
  reaper.Xen_AudioWriter_Destroy(writer) -- file is only finalized when the writer is destroyed
else
  -- Can fail if file directory path does not exist, no write permissions, disk full...
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("Could not create writer\n")
end
end
I have not tested the functions with Python and Eel yet. It would also be useful to have a test the writer works with buffers that come from Reaper's AudioAccessors.

@juliansader,

Do you happen to know if the api allows for any access to stylus and tablet.
I often use a drawing tablet and mouse at the same time.

I can't help but to think how cool it would be to have access to some of the pens functions, and possibly have independent control using win10 since it supports multiple input devices with multiple cursors.
How cool would it be to use a mouse on one monitor and pen on monitor 2?

But first.. finish the Versions script!

I didn’t really dive into the new API, but what I saw was very impressive!
Is it possible to intercept the left mouse click on TCP solo button and make an exclusive solo( by deafult while code running ) for example?

Julian, I followed your example in post #46 trying to mimick mouseclicks but it works the first time and fails all the other times. Any idea why?
This is the test code:


Code:
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("This message should always be cleared\n")
local RSwindow = reaper.JS_Window_Find("ReaScript console output", true)
local _, leftX, topY, rightX, bottomY = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(RSwindow)
-- "clear" button
local buttonX = rightX - 114
local buttonY = bottomY -27
-- Get button window
local buttonWindow = reaper.JS_Window_FromPoint(buttonX, buttonY)
_, leftX, topY, rightX, bottomY = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(buttonWindow)
-- Post click message
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Post(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN", 0x0001, 0, buttonX-leftX, buttonY-topY)
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Post(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONUP", 0x0000, 0, buttonX-leftX, buttonY-topY)
P.S. If I close the Console window and run the script again, it works. But if I keep running the script with the console window being open, then it fails.
P.S.2. Ok, I found it.. For it to work, I must first focus the button window using
Code:
reaper.ShowConsoleMsg("This message should always be cleared\n")
local RSwindow = reaper.JS_Window_Find("ReaScript console output", true)
local _, leftX, topY, rightX, bottomY = reaper.JS_Window_GetRect(RSwindow)
-- Get "clear" button window
local buttonWindow = reaper.JS_Window_FromPoint(rightX - 114, bottomY -27)
-- Post click message
reaper.JS_Window_SetFocus( buttonWindow )
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Send(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN", 0x0001, 0, 10, 10)
reaper.JS_WindowMessage_Send(buttonWindow, "WM_LBUTTONUP", 0x0000, 0, 10,10)
before the WindowMessage Posts

Is this possible without flickering?


Code:
W,H = 5000,5000
local bmp = reaper.JS_LICE_CreateBitmap( true, W, H )
local bmpDC = reaper.JS_LICE_GetDC(bmp )
reaper.JS_LICE_FillRect( bmp, 0, 0, W, H, 0x99009999, 1, "ADD" )

local track_window = reaper.Window_Find("trackview", true) -- GET TRACK VIEW
local track_window_dc =  reaper.JS_GDI_GetWindowDC( track_window )

function main()
reaper.JS_GDI_Blit(track_window_dc, X_start, Y_start, bmpDC, 0, 0, W, H )
reaper.defer(main)
end
main()
This is the short versions of whats going on,but rectangle is constantly updated when window is moved,scrolled etc

ah,shame..... Just one more question, when drawing rectangle dynamically it does not refresh if you resize (to lower number) until the mouse is released.View is updated only if the rectangle has expanded,but not if its shrinked. Is this my error somewhere?


Thank you very much for this magical APIs

Is it possible to port/simulate "Save file window" like a GetUserFileNameForRead() with this?

Could you post the code, so that we can try to check it?

To shrink or remove previously drawn GDI elements, either REAPER must redraw the underlying window, or if the window is static, you need to draw over your own GDI elements, using the original window content. The original window content can be stored in bitmap 1, combined with the rectangles in bitmap 2, and then blitted to the screen.

To see how SWS coded their marquee "Zoom tool", check out https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/bl...Zoom.cpp#L1002.
