    Nico you mentioned over email you were having trouble automating stuff in DADman. I don't have access to the app myself - can you elaborate on what is not working? Ie. what were you trying to do and what happened?

        Hi all,

        has anybody been successful in simulating a click in the DADman user interface,
        i.e. the Sources, Outputs or Folddowns? I tried it with the UI macro, but it didn't`t work.
        The MTRX package available here is just for menu items, no UI interaction.

        thanks,
        Nico

          I tried it with the UI macro, but it didn't`t work.

          Can you describe more precisely what happened? Were you able to pick the UI element or the window? Do you get an error or is simply nothing happening?

              I made a UI Klick Macro klicking in the DADman software a button, in this case it was "click solo Center".

              When trying to execute the command I got the following error message:

                Thanks Nico. Is this a macro? How did the macro end up looking after you picked the UI element?
                Sorry for the many questions, but since I don't have access to the software itself we'll need to locate exactly where the error occurs.

                      Hi @Nico_Berthold

                      Gotcha, yea this makes perfect sense. I think basically SoundFlow can just not see the contents of that window so it will just give you the outermost UI element (here a Scroll Area).
                      You'll need to instead use the "Mouse Click Relative to UI Element" action where you can then specify a relative coordinate relative to the window where the mouse should click. Obviously this is not as good as when SF can detect individual UI elements since it is then position dependent. But it's likely the only thing that can be done right now.

                      Note we're having talks with DAD/NTP about providing deeper support but there's no definitive response from them yet.

                Hi Christian,

                Any news about this?
                I just got my MTRX Studio, would love to be able to do some stuff like solo and mute speakers, dim, etc... with soundflow.

                Best regards,

                Gabriel

                  Hi Gabriel,

                  We've been reaching out to NTP / DAD but have yet to hear back from them. We'll keep pushing :)

                      Thanks, man. I know it's not up to you to get this going...

                      Best regards,

                              @chrscheuer Any update on this? Andrew Scheps MOMdeck is very cool, but doesn't really address my specific use case very well. Any tips on how to access DADman UI elements in the way that MOMdeck seems to be addressing them? Possibly this should be in a new thread I guess...
                              Thanks!
