Hello,

I'd like to know how to create a selection 1 second long from the current position of the cursor. Once the selection has been made I'd like to create a region using the selection. I think this should be easy but I have a hard time getting my head around scripting and Sound Forge. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Kit

You get the cursor position of the active window from app.ActiveWindow.Cursor,

You add a marker by calling the Add method of the Markers collection, like this

using System;

using System.IO;

using System.Collections;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Drawing;



using SoundForge;

using SoundForge.BatchConverter;



public class EntryPoint {

public string Begin(IScriptableApp app) {



   long cc = app.ActiveWindow.Cursor;

   ISfFileHost fh = app.ActiveWindow.File;



   // create a 1 second selection at the current cursor position

   SfAudioSelection asel = new SfAudioSelection(cc, fh.SecondsToPosition(1));



   // create a marker from that selection

   SfAudioMarker    mk = new SfAudioMarker(asel);

   mk.Name = "name";



   // add that marker to the markers of the file.

   fh.Markers.Add(mk);



   return null; // null for success

}



public void FromSoundForge(IScriptableApp app) {

   ForgeApp = app; //execution begins here

   app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is running.", Script.Name));

   string msg = Begin(app);

   app.SetStatusText(msg != null ? msg : String.Format("Script '{0}' is done.", Script.Name));

}

public static IScriptableApp ForgeApp = null;

public static void DPF(string sz) { ForgeApp.OutputText(sz); }

public static void DPF(string fmt, params object [] args) { ForgeApp.OutputText(String.Format(fmt,args)); }

} //EntryPoint

Thanks very much for the reply. I see the script creating a marker but don't actually see the area selected being highlighted. I don't really want to make a region. I want to cut and past the selection to a new file. I tried amending the script but it rejected my app.do statements. I'd be grateful for some more help.

Best wishes,

Kit

Figured it out. Just remembered to post back

Kit

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using SoundForge;



public class EntryPoint {

public void Begin(IScriptableApp app) {



   /*begin here*/

   Int64 ccSelection = app.ActiveWindow.File.SecondsToPosition(2);



    // select 1 second AFTER the cursor

   app.ActiveWindow.SelectionLength = ccSelection;  



   app.DoMenuAndWait("Edit.Copy",true);

   app.DoMenuAndWait("File.New",true);

   app.DoMenuAndWait("Edit.Paste",true);

   Do("File.SaveAs");



}



public static void Do(string cmd) { ForgeApp.DoMenuAndWait(cmd,false); }

public static void Do(string cmd, bool fUseLastPreset) { ForgeApp.DoMenuAndWait(cmd,fUseLastPreset); }



public void FromSoundForge(IScriptableApp app) {

   ForgeApp = app; //execution begins here

   app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is running.", Script.Name));

   Begin(app);

   app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is done.", Script.Name));

}

public static IScriptableApp ForgeApp = null;

public static void DPF(string sz) { ForgeApp.OutputText(sz); }

public static void DPF(string fmt, object o) { ForgeApp.OutputText(String.Format(fmt,o)); }

public static void DPF(string fmt, object o, object o2) { ForgeApp.OutputText(String.Format(fmt,o,o2)); }

} //EntryPoint
