count visible tracks?

[babag]

i know there's this

reaper.CountSelectedTracks( 0 )

but is there an equivalent for visible tracks?

thanks,
babag

reaper.CountTracks( proj ) ???

[babag]

thanks musobob. won't that just give me that total number of tracks? i'm trying to get the number of VISIBLE tracks. or does that not count hidden tracks?

thanks again,
babag

retval, flags = reaper.GetTrackState( track )

Gets track state, returns track name.
flags will be set to:
&1=folder
&2=selected
&4=has fx enabled
&8=muted
&16=soloed
&32=SIP'd (with &16)
&64=rec armed
&128=rec monitoring on
&256=rec monitoring auto
&512=hide from TCP
&1024=hide from MCP

See if this gives you what you need:

function Msg(str)
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(str).."\n")
  
end

 hidden_tracks_512 = 0
 hidden_tracks_1024 = 0

 track_count = reaper.CountTracks( 0 )
 Msg("Tracks "..track_count)
 for i = 1, track_count do
 
   track = reaper.GetTrack( 0, i-1 )
   
   retval, flags = reaper.GetTrackState( track )
   
   Msg("Flag "..flags)
   
   if flags == 512 then
     
     hidden_tracks_512 = hidden_tracks_512 +1
   end  
   if flags == 1024 then
     
     hidden_tracks_1024 = hidden_tracks_1024 +1
   end   
 end 
 
 visable_tracks = track_count - (hidden_tracks_512 + hidden_tracks_1024)
 
 Msg( "&1024=hide from MCP "..hidden_tracks_1024 )
 
 Msg( "&512=hide from TCP "..hidden_tracks_512)
 
 Msg( "visable_tracks "..visable_tracks)

oh, wow! thanks for this. i was hoping for something simpler like a native call that would return something simple. will try this soon.

i also found 'reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value' which has an option for:

B_SHOWINTCP : bool * : track control panel visible in arrange view (do not use on master track)

i got something working using that.

thanks again, MusoBob. the help is much appreciated!

edit:
here's an excerpt of what i have using GetMediaTrackInfo_Value:

        local TrxTotal = reaper.CountTracks( 0 )

        totalVis             = 0

        for i                = 0, TrxTotal - 1 do                -- loop through tracks

            local TrxVis     = reaper.CountSelectedTracks( 0 )   -- set variable for number of selected tracks in current project ( 0 )

            local TrkCurr    = reaper.GetTrack( 0, i )           -- set variable for current track
            local Visible    = reaper.GetMediaTrackInfo_Value( TrkCurr, "B_SHOWINTCP" )

            if Visible       == 1 then
                totalVis     = totalVis + 1
            end
            
        end

When using Ultraschall-Api, you can use GetAllVisibleTracks_Arrange, which also allows you to choose, whether tracks must be fully visible or can be partially visible as well and the option to include the MasterTrack:
