How to determine if protools main menu item is greyed out / unavailable

By Chris Shaw @Chris_Shaw2020-11-25 21:58:05.648Z

I'm trying to determine if a selected clip is a clip or a fade. If a fade is selected then the PT menu item Clip > Edit Lock/Unlock is greyed out / unavailable. How do I determine this with a script?

Ideas?

    Hi Chris!

    To work out if the selection info use this sf.ui.proTools.selectionGetInfo()

    As for the Menu Item Stand by...

      And here it is

      const isMenuEnabled = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Clip", "Edit Lock/Unlock").isEnabled;

log(isMenuEnabled);

      Hope that helps :-)

        FYI... You can also check for "isMenuChecked";
