UI Colors -- Equivalent of PF_AppGetColor for PPro ?

[AntoineAutokroma]

Hello,

Does anyone know the equivalent of PF_AppGetColor from AE SDK of PPro ?I would like to get the UI Colors (in Settings -> Appearance), I can't use AE SDK because I cannot create a AEGP_SuiteHandler out of thin air, I need a const struct SPBasicSuite    *pica_basicP that I would only get if I'm a AE plugin. And the PPro documentation doesn't have this kind of information in PrSDKAppInfoSuite.h

Thanks in advance,

Antoine

I've added your vote to (existing) API feature request DVAPR-4207134. It's unlikely for our NAB release.

Thanks for the answer Bruce.

It's not that urgent but yes it would be nice. Isn't there a way I can retrieve them via ExtendScript ? I don't think I can access CSInterface() via C++ ExtendScript calls. If I could then I would be able to retrieve appSkinInfo right ?

Thanks !

No, but your panel's JavaScript can get csInterface.hostEnvironment.appSkinInfo, and make that info available to your ExtendScript code.

I don't think I can access CSInterface() via C++ ExtendScript calls.

I don't know what a  "C++ ExtendScript call" is...?

I naively thought there was an equivalent of AE's AEGP_ExecuteScript in PPro SDK

So there's no way of getting / setting as much information as with Panel / ExtendScript from C++ ?

Correct.

Yeah, unfortunately PPro doesn't implement the getters for all the UI colors.  But if it's just the background color of the Effect Controls panel that you need to add custom parameter controls, you should be able to get that using PF_AppGetBgColor().  To acquire the suite from PPro, rather than using AEGP_SuiteHandler, you can use AEFX_SuiteScoper as demonstrated in the SDK_Noise sample.
