My Python scripts broke between 4.1.11137.0 and 4.1.12025.0

I have been testing version 4.1.12100.0 and trying to figure out how to access any of the live stacking controls. All of the automations scripts I have written rely on access to these controls. I have been trying to get in through code like:

lsc = SharpCap.LiveStacking.GetControl()
ctlcol = lsc.Controls

iter = ctlcol.GetEnumerator()
print( "iter", iter.MoveNext() )
iterc1 = iter.Current
print( "iter", iter.MoveNext() )

However, I just reach a dead end with iterc1.Controls.Count being 0. How do I get access to the live stacking panel controls? I have to go back to using 4.1.11137.0 from back year until I can figure out how to change my scripts to function with the new version.

Hi,

in the latest update, I did add some extra access to try to cover your previous list of missing things - you can get at those using

Code: Select all

SharpCap.LiveStacking.Guiding
SharpCap.LiveStacking.FrameFiltering

These two new objects allow access to the guiding and frame filtering settings that were previously reached via access to internal parts of the code.

I'm a bit scared that you were digging into the UI via LiveStacking.GetControl() - top marks for finding that you could do that, but it definitely wasn't supposed to be accessible to scripting I'm almost afraid to ask what things you were adjusting via that approach!

cheers,

Robin

I haven't been using them in my code. I was just desperately trying to looking for some way of accessing the controls that I had been using. Thanks for the info on the new elements in LiveStacking. I'll check through these new access points.

I finished updating my code for the newer version of SharpCap. It looks like all the important stuff I needed in live stack is available in SharpCapInstall-4.1.12100.0 and my code all works. Thanks for adding this stuff back in!

Hi,

good to hear that the new API covers enough ground for you!
