Script error

[astfu]

Hello,

in Version 3.3.7313 (64Bit) following script is not working:

Time_List = [SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls[17].Value]

-->Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 15, in <module>
TypeError: 'Controls' object is not subscriptable

In Version 3.2 it's working.

Best regards

Sven

Hi Sven,

I found some error cases when testing that cause problems due to the contents of the control list being changed while the software was looking for a particular control. To avoid that being a problem in future I ended up removing the ability to access the controls by index. It's probably a bad practice anyway since the index number may change in different versions of SharpCap as new features are added.

Please try using

Controls.FindByName('name')
Controls.FindById(id)
Controls.Find(lambda x: .....)

These are all implemented in a way that is safe against problems caused by the list of controls changing.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

have a example? I'm a newcomer with Python.
I can read the Exposuretime now: SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.Exposure.Value
but how I can read (or write) the start (end) calibration?

thanks! Sven

Hi Sven,

Code: Select all

print SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.FindByName('Calibration Start Pos Adjust').Value
SharpCap.SelectedCamera.Controls.FindByName('Calibration Start Pos Adjust').Value = 1234

cheers,
