Receiving the current position in the timeline

Postby vman » Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:02 pm

Hi,
in the SDK, I did not find a function call that returns the current position. Most of the functions return a boolean, and only very few integer or double, but none a string or something that can store a timcode value.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

what language are you using? The SDK in the manual is slightly outdated and may not include the function you are looking for.

I think I got it. Found this in the online manual.

AutoGetSequenceTime(seqNum As Integer, Time As TimeType)

I expected a function that returns the timecode, but if I understand the documentation correct I have to hand over a variable by reference that returns my timecode value, correct?
BTW: I'm using VB, but as mentioned in my other post here viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3666 , I prefer to use the "naked" TCP protocol if available.

best regards
