Question: Dear Justin! Is there a way to get an object (solo button, record, etc.) of the virtual reaper window (mcp,tcp) from a point? Maybe there is some kind of trick with WM_GETOBJECT message or somthing else ?) By using C++ extention.

    You can access it via accessibility APIs, yeah, but that's a pain. What are you trying to do?

    Thank you for your reply! I was thinking of making a request X-Raym in this topic t=254554. Entering values directly into the mcp/tcp.Also want to implement make nudging volume/ pan with focus. And only now I realized that I needed positions of elements too.

    You mean position of Walter-themeable elements? I would love to see that too, but for another usecase: it would allow us to build an interactive tutorial for newbies of Ultraschall. In a way like "click here" mouse jumps here "then here" mouse jumps there.

    Very cool idea! I checked the method of interception in OSARA but did not yet understand whether it is possible to get the coordinates of objects. I will write here as I check. Btw your documentation really helped - thank you)

    Ohh, that's right, automatic positioning of mouse cursor to UI-elements is also a fantastic usecase for accessibility. Osara is doing this a lot to help navigating through menus and dialogs, they would benefit tons, if it could be extended to Walter-UI-elements.

    Btw, this would be a fantastic FR. Could you open one up? Maybe link this page to it too?

    I'll look at adding a read-only class of attributes to GetSetMediaTrackInfo_String(), e.g. P_UI_RECT:tcp.mute etc
