Trying to get a value from RX10 Loudness control module; the description changes every time app starts

    Heading

    Hi, I'm writing code to read the "Integrated Loudness" value of a clip within iZotope RX10 Advanced in the Loudness Control module.

    Using the element pick, I'm able to write this:

    var LUFSval = sf.ui.izotope.windows.whoseTitle.is("Loudness Control").first.groups.whoseDescription.is("39A3F9C7-986F-4873-BFF8-333837536990").first.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").allItems[1].value.invalidate().value;

    However, the number within "first.groups.whoseDescription.is("39A3F9C7-986F-4873-BFF8-333837536990") changes every time I restart RX10.

    Is there a way around needing that number?

    Thanks!!

        I'm not sure how consistent this will be, but give it a shot?

        const targetGroup = sf.ui.izotope.windows.whoseTitle.is("Loudness Control").first.groups.allItems.filter(group => group.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseDescription.is("MeterValue").first.exists)[1]
log(targetGroup.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseDescription.is("MeterValue").first.value.invalidate().value)

            this will likely be more reliable:

            function getLoudnessControlIntegratedValue() {
    const loudnessControlWin = sf.ui.izotope.invalidate().windows.whoseTitle.is("Loudness Control").first;
    const lcFrame = loudnessControlWin.frame;
    const targetGroup = loudnessControlWin.children.allItems.filter(i => i.frame.x == lcFrame.x + 211 && i.frame.y == lcFrame.y+156)[0];
    const integratedLoudnessValue = targetGroup.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseDescription.is("MeterValue").first.value.invalidate().value;

    return integratedLoudnessValue
    
}


const integratedLoudnessValue = getLoudnessControlIntegratedValue();
log(integratedLoudnessValue)

                Thanks!!

                This is what ended up working:

                const targetGroup = sf.ui.izotope.windows.whoseTitle.is("Loudness Control").first.groups.allItems.filter(group => group.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseDescription.is("MeterValue").first.exists)[1]
const integratedLoudnessValue = targetGroup.children.whoseRole.is("AXStaticText").whoseDescription.is("MeterValue").first.value.invalidate().value;

                Thanks for your help!! Cannot figure out the 'children' thing in javascript.
