what does parameter("targetsequence") return

[lflint]

int targets =Parameter("NumberTargets");

sequence = Parameter("targetsequence");

We have tried sequence as a string , array of strings , int,int[],char,lists.
We really need to know what this returns. We have tried everything we can think of, most of the time it gives us only the first element of the sequence. If anyone could help that would be great. We are working in CursorFeedbackTask.cpp inside of project CursorTask.

Does this help?

Sorry, my mistake. I missed that you were doing the cursor task. This is what you want.

Hi boulay,

We have this link as well. What we are wondering is what is the actual return type in the code. No matter what we do it will only return the first index of sequence. We have tried accessing other elements in the list and it always returns the first one. The same holds true when we call the Paraemeters() function more than one time. It will always seem to be stuck on the first element of the list.

I'm not sure if the return of Parameter("paramName") is generally an instance of the Param class or an instance of the ParamValue class.

In any case, I think you can get what you need from the following.
CursorFeedbackTask inherits from FeedbackTask found in src/shared/modules/application
FeedbackTask.cpp defines TargetSequence as an intlist.

The following code is taken directly from FeedbackTask.cpp

Code: Select all

for (int i = 0; i < Parameter( "TargetSequence" )->NumValues(); i++ )
{
    int val = Parameter( "TargetSequence" ) ( i );
}
