About getting key frame values

Hello, I would like to ask a question, that is, in the development of AE SDK plug-in, how to get the value of the key frame selected by the mouse. I checked the SDK documentation and AEGP_GetNewStreamValue () seemed to work, but when I ran it, it showed no current constext. I don't know what the problem is. Or is there a similar case? Let me learn from it. Thank you very much

there are two steps here.

1. tell which keyframe is selected. for that, look into "collections". these are arrays of selected items.

2. get the keyframe value. for that, use AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue().

Hello, just a few minutes of your time. Is that what it says? After I wrote it this way, when I run AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue inside AE it says: no current context. the Description Failed to obtain the key frame value is then displayed. Here is the code I wrote, I don't know whether it is correct or not. Could you take a look for me, please? Thank you very much.

it's hard to tell because the error codes are not check in the few calls before AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue. please run through the debugger and watch step by step if an err is gotten somewhere. it's most likely you're arriving at AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue with a bad StreamRef.

Hi, excuse me. Parameters in AEGP_GetNewKeyframeValue are OK. I just pressed F11 to start debugging. err then returns error code 3. And in AE: internal verification failure, sorry! {no current context}. And in Visual Studio: TDB.pdb is not loaded. TDB.pdb contains debugging information needed to find the source file for the module TDB.dll.

i don't understand. is it debugging correctly or is it not? can you set breakpoints and hit them?

if you're debugging successfully, on what line do you get err code 3? are you positive the err is not gotten on a previous line?
